Disregarding the dictates of his own experience and the arrangements of his superior, he yielded to the braggart humor of his soldiers, which he had not, like Alva, learned to moderate or to despise. In the mean, time, the body of light troops which had received the fire from the musical pieces of Groningen was seen to waver.
"You certainly are a f fool, as you aptly express it," said Agatha, passing her arm round Jane, and disregarding an angry attempt to shake it off; "but if I had any heart it would be touched by this proof of your attachment." "I never said you had no heart," protested Jane; "but I hate when you speak like a book." "You hate when I speak like a book, do you? My dear, silly old Jane!
I put him down as somewhat mad, and asked "Number One" to put a sentry over him to see that he did not repeat his attempt to avoid our acquaintance. He clung to me like a limpet and had to be removed by force, with despairing entreaties for mercy, disregarding my still puzzled assurances as to his personal safety.

"Speech!" cried some one, as Jerrard mounted the steps. He smiled and shook his head. "Speech! Speech!" The manager turned to enter his car, still smiling, tolerant but disregarding. At a sudden command from Connick, men reached out on both sides of the train and clutched the branches of sturdy undergrowth that the haste of the construction work had not permitted the crews to clear entirely away.
"For the Fire-spouters," continued Gartok, disregarding the growl, "are afraid of nothing. Why should they be when they can spout wounds and death so easily?" Poor Gartok spoke feelingly, for his wounded leg had reduced his vigour considerably, and he was yet only able to limp about with the aid of a stick, while his lieutenant Ondikik was reduced to skin and bone by the injury to his back.
But, my countrymen, that fame may be a rich treasure to you also. Let it be the test by which to examine those who solicit your favor.

Tell me where he is hiding, that I may kill him; now, while I pant for vengeance. Such rage as mine cannot wait for idle forms.
The mountaineers may be loyal to their friends, but it is to conceal crime." "Illicit stilling seems to be regarded like smuggling," said John. "The government is fair game."
