Destitute of all patriotic feeling, his whole soul bound up in his gains, he brings into these mountains all the spirit of trade there is in them, ever calculating, figuring, discounting, and bargaining with a patience which ends only with life itself. So different is the spirit of man among the woods and snows of the Caucasus and in the sunny vales which lie around the foot of Ararat.
I am not discounting any hopes of mine, because, Phil, I had not thought had not planned such a thing between you and Eileen I don't know why. But I had not; there was Suddy Gray a nice boy, perfectly qualified; and there were alternates more worldly, perhaps.
Through the wide perspective of twelve years of Western life, he had consistently and steadily discounted the size and importance of East Falls; but this was worse than all discounting. Things were more meagre than he had dreamed. The general store took his breath away.
For the moment, discounting the uniform which might have hidden a midinette or a duchess, she had nothing but the face and the gestures and the beautifully modulated voice to go upon, and between the accent of the midinette and the duchess both being equally charming to her English ear Peggy could not discriminate. She had, however, beautiful, capable hands, and took care of her finger-nails.
It seemed as if he were fighting against the attraction she had for him, prepared to contest every inch of ground discounting each look and word wrung from him in some moment of emotion by the mocking raillery with which he followed it up.

Framton Nuttel endeavoured to say the correct something which should duly flatter the niece of the moment without unduly discounting the aunt that was to come.

"This is not discounting; I am paying myself for a sale," said the old man. Etienne and Lucien were still laughing at Chaboisseau, without understanding him, when they reached Dauriat's shop, and Etienne asked Gabusson to give them the name of a bill-broker. The friends took a cab by the hour, and went to the address.
In relying upon this as the foundation stone of our financial system we hope to do something towards discounting the opinion, so very generally held, that a man ought not to give the handling of his income to his wife. This principle is one of the many popular errors and is one of the chief causes of misunderstanding in the domestic establishment.
It looks to me like you're appointed by Providence to step in here and save this town from this reign of murder." "Oh!" said Morgan, impatiently, discounting the judge's fervid words. "You can supplant him, you can strip him of his badge of office when he steps from the train, and you're the one man that can do it!"
A third office should be appointed for discounting bills, tallies, and notes, by which all tallies of the Exchequer, and any part of the revenue, should at stated allowances be ready money to any person, to the great advantage of the Government, and ease of all such as are any ways concerned in public undertakings.
