Men like Wade of Ohio, who enjoyed chaffing their discomfited opponents, took every occasion to taunt the author of the bill which had been the undoing of his party. Douglas met their gibes by asking whether there was a single, anti-Nebraska candidate from the free States who did not receive the Know-Nothing vote.
"Nothing to shew, ma'am," he replied. "Didn't see a solitary one. I heard some partridges, but I didn't mean to have room in my bag for them." "Did you find the right ground, Rossitur?" "I had a confounded long tramp after it if I didn't," said the discomfited sportsman, who did not seem to have yet recovered his good humour. "Were you not together?" said Mrs. Carleton. "Where were you, Guy?"
The galley which bore Frederic Spinola himself and his fortunes succeeded in reaching Dunkirk, whence he made his way discomfited, to tell the tale of his disaster to the archduke at Brussels. During the fight the Dutch admiral's boats had been active in picking up such of the drowning crews, whether galley-slaves or soldiers, as it was possible to save.
Jacky pressed, frowning; and Maurice said: "Yes, sir! Everything." Jacky reflected and sighed. "Well," he said, "I should think He'd laugh when he sees your shoes." "Why! what's the matter with my shoes?" his discomfited father said, looking down at his feet. "My shoes are all right!" he defended himself. "Big," Jacky said, shyly.
Parma advised the King by no means to grant the request the Prior being neither endowed with the proper age nor discretion for such a dignity but to bestow some lesser reward, in money or otherwise, upon the discomfited ecclesiastic, who had rendered so many services and incurred so many dangers.
Well, that was right when proposed by a tyrant; but I warn you, friend, to take care how you resist the tax we shall impose. Happy if your city can buy its peace with the Church on any terms: and his Holiness is short of the florins." The discomfited councillor shrank back. "Tear off yon insolent placard. Nay, hold! fix over it our proclamation of ten thousand florins for the heretic's head!
My mistress and her aunt, the Vrouw Clara, have gone away to stay for a week or ten days as the Vrouw Clara's health required a change." "Indeed," said Dirk aghast, "and where have they gone?" "Oh! Mynheer, I do not know that, they did not tell me," and no other answer could he extract from her. So Dirk went away discomfited and pondering.
Bernie does not cross-examine much; but if anyone gets discomfited, he laughs a sort of little silver-whistle giggle, which is trying to the unhappy blunderer. 'MAY 9TH. Frewen is deep in parachutes. I beg him not to drop from the top landing in one of his own making. 'JUNE 6TH, 1876. Frewen's crank axle is a failure just at present but he bears up.
"If Hamish does not mind, I'm sure I need not," she said to herself. Dan went on: "I shall put what I have cut to-day in the long barn. It will be just the thing for the spring's work." Dan's new-found far-sightedness was too much for the gravity of Hamish, and Shenac joined heartily in the laugh. Dan looked a little discomfited. "You must settle it with Shenac and your brother," said the mother.
"You'll find his real hand in his sleeve, Red. No, not that one there's where he has the knife; the cards are in the left sleeve." "Did you really think I was that easy?" he said reproachfully to the discomfited gambler, as McVey laid the bowie and secreted cards on the table. "Why, you've even misjudged your own hold-out see!"
