I repeat, Sir, that, in adopting the sentiment of the framers of the Constitution, I read their language audibly, and word for word; and I pointed out the distinction, just as fully as I have now done, between the consolidation of the Union and that other obnoxious consolidation which I disclaimed. And yet the honorable member misunderstood me.
Both of them had been in Parliament for a number of years, although neither had ever been distinguished for any brilliant political achievement. Mr. Dalglish was brought forward by no section or party at least he disclaimed any connection with either Whigs or Tories, and as for the Radicals, they were then out in the cold.
Now, for nearly a fortnight, the lovely guest had been daily hinting that she really must go home, "dear Witchie" was surely tired of her; and Witchie disclaimed and protested and vowed she could not live without her devoted friend. But then had come that letter and with it a change of tone and tactics. Witchie ceased to remonstrate or reprove Mrs.
Morley promised to come, and contented himself with writing a letter to me in which he disclaimed the imputation that he carried about with him any of that "perilous explosive" called ambition.
"Young man," continued Dick, with drunken gravity, "mebbee you're accustomed to Charlotte rusks and blue mange; mebbee ye can't eat unless your grub is got up by one o' them French cooks'? Yet WE us boys yar in this camp calls that pie a good a com-pe-tent pie!" The stranger again disclaimed anything but a general dislike of that form of pastry.
I hastily disclaimed any intention of obtruding my foolish dollars, and he went on: "Your letter surprised me not a little. I thought you would be the last person in the world to presume to an alliance here.
Bett listened, sang, it may be, with them; for when the singers ceased, her voice might be heard still humming a loud closing bar. "Well!" Cornish cried to Lulu; and then, in the formal village phrase: "You're quite a musician." "Oh, no!" Lulu disclaimed it. She looked up, flushed, smiling. "I've never done this in front of anybody," she owned.
At the moment of our arrival, however, Bianca happened to be hanging out clothes from a window, and shrilly disclaimed the staircase, attributing this merit to another Palazzo Cappello. We were less pleased with her appearance here, than with that portrait of her which we saw on another occasion in the palace of a lady of her name and blood.
Cornewall Lewis was to sit to him, and Grant, knowing he had written books, desired to get at least a smattering of them before the sittings began. But some one, perhaps mischievously, told him Lewis was the author of The Monk, and this book he accordingly read. He took an early opportunity to refer to it to his sitter, who to his no small discomfiture disclaimed it.
"Tell me, why have you always buried yourself in California?" she next asked. "It has not been kind of you. We of the East have seen to very little of you too little, indeed, of the Dean of American Letters, the Second." I bowed to, and disclaimed, the compliment. "I nearly met you, once, in Philadelphia, some Browning affair or other you were to lecture, you know. My train was four hours late."
