And if an occasional disappointment, a small delinquency in some feminine character did now and then happen, and a little sly satire would force its way, quietly too, out of the sides of your mouth, how happily would you instantly disown it, fling it from you as a thing not yours, then catch at it, and sport with it as if you could afford to sport with it, and thereby show it was no serious truth, and pass it off with the passage from Dryden
"And ours, Levi," Matilda put in; "we can't disown him. Blood is blood even if it clots." "Well, our nephew, then! When she found young Lansing Treadwell eating up her income, she begged for some scraps of what she pleased to term 'his mother's rights!" "And you gave them to her, Levi!" "I couldn't let Caroline's boy die in a hole even if Hertford's son put him there!"
Probably an ardent Kingstonian would indignantly disown the impression our three words are apt to give of the place. It is a rapidly growing town, and "Egbert, the first king of all England," who held a council at "Kyningestun, famosa ilia locus," in 838, would be at a loss to find his way through its streets could he revisit it. It has the population of a Saxon county.
Of course I had to disown my oldest friends, rather than let her suspect she owed me the chance of making a single acquaintance when, all the while, that was what she had me there for, and what she wrote me a handsome cheque for when the season was over!" Mrs.
I do not see how it is possible, while the society means to keep up a due subordination among its members, not to disown such as may marry out of it. In mixed families, such as these marriages produce, it is in vain to expect that the discipline can be carried on, as has been shewn in the second volume.
If I belong to a state which cannot be moved from its extremities to its centre, and from its centre to its extremities, for the maintenance of a system of public instruction, then, in that respect, I disown that state; and if there be one state in this Union whose people cannot be aroused to maintain a system of public instruction, then they are false to the great leading idea of American principles, and of civil, political, and religious liberty.
These rumours, supported by such interested testimony, spread wide and far through the land; and, joined to the undeniable fact that Damian had sought refuge in the strong castle of Garde Doloureuse, which was now defending itself against the royal arms, animated the numerous enemies of the house of De Lacy, and drove its vassals and friends almost to despair, as men reduced either to disown their feudal allegiance, or renounce that still more sacred fealty which they owed to their sovereign.
'How are ye, Maud? he said, doing his best, and drawing near, he extended his hand. You're welcome to Bartram-Haugh, Miss. 'Kiss your cousin, sir. Where's your gallantry? On my honour, I disown you, exclaimed my uncle, with more energy than he had shown before. With a clumsy effort, and a grin that was both sheepish and impudent, he grasped my hand and advanced his face.
"'It is impossible, he said, 'that that lovely girl can be sprung from' but I will not wound you by adding the rest." "I cannot disown my kindred," said Alizon.
I don't believe they say what the papers put in their mouths any more than that a friend of mine wrote the letter about Worcester's and Webster's Dictionaries, that he had to disown the other day. These newspaper fellows are half asleep when they make up their reports at two or three o'clock in the morning, and fill out the speeches to suit themselves.
