For the idea is a creation of reason itself, which therefore cannot disclaim the obligation to answer or refer us to the unknown object.
I am sure we can learn something of value in regard to it from you, and I will introduce it, if you will pardon my impertinence, with a personal question. Will you please tell me who is the head of this household?" "Zenith." "Thorwald." Two answers in one breath. "It is very polite of you," I said, "to disclaim the honor and each one give it to the other, but, seriously, is there no head?"
Nothing since Artemus Ward and his wife's relations has been finer than the generous way in which fathers and brothers disclaim all desire for profits or honors on the part of their feminine relatives.
All eyes were for a moment turned on Madame de Soulanges; a flattering murmur showed that she was the subject of every man's conversation with his partner.

Cant may talk of your "inter pocula" errors with pious horror; and pretension, now that its indulgence is safe, may affect to disclaim your acquaintance; but kinder, and better, and truer men than those who furnished your biographer with his facts will not fail to recollect your talents with pride, and your wit and your humour with wonder and delight.
This was a shabby business, but Dabney would have convinced himself, by now, that he was the genius he wanted people to believe him. "Before the test," said Cochrane gently, "you make a speech.
