Being myself long and broad, I made matters even by choosing as my bedfellow a little fellow named Joseph Runnles, lean as a rake, and of a quiet and melancholy countenance, thinking that such an one would not discommode me in either body or mind. My choice was justified; he neither kicked nor snored, and was so reserved and silent that I believe I did not exchange with him a dozen words a week.
"It seems improbable," the officer smiled, pleased with his wit. "Sorry to discommode you, my dear. But perhaps, lacking a passport, you can yet oblige me with the countersign, which does as well. Just one little word, now, and I'll let you through." "If monsieur will tell me the little word?" she asked innocently. He burst into laughter. "No, no; I am not to be caught so easy as that, my girl."
Reaching us and walking to the Virginian, he said cheerily, "How much do you want for your frogs, my friend?" "You got a friend hyeh?" said the Virginian. "That's good, for yu' need care taken of yu'." And the prominent after-dinner speaker did not further discommode us. "That's worth my trip," whispered a New York passenger to me.

I believed there was no reason to dread their being destroyed or purloined, if left, for a few hours or a day, in this recess.
Being told to say when she wanted an afternoon, she explained that when she wanted an afternoon she always took it without asking, but always planned so as not to discommode the ladies with whom she lived.
In 1800, however, it pleased him to style the soldiers of the United States ragamuffins and mercenaries; which induced two young officers to push, hustle, and otherwise discommode and insult him at the theatre. Strange to relate, this hot Virginian, usually so prompt with a challenge to mortal combat, reported the misconduct of these officers to the President of the United States.
"That little gal can't discommode any one in New Constantinople; if she would prefer to have me go out and sleep in the snow, I'll be glad to do it." "I've just the place for her," interposed Wade Ruggles; "couldn't be better if I had taken a week to get it ready."
"Don't waste time on theories," said Camp's voice, angrily. "Search the car." "Sorry to discommode a lady," apologized the sheriff, gallantly, "but if we may just look around a little?" "My father and brothers went out a few minutes ago," said Madge, hesitatingly, "and I don't know if they would be willing." Camp laughed angrily, and ordered, "Stand aside, there."
On every clearing these birds gravely promenaded by half-dozens together, and his cautious gliding across such exposed places did not in the least discommode the dusky company.
