There is only one view that I subscribe to. You would do well to study the Cons'tution, my young friend." This withering rebuke was greeted with shouts and clapping of hands from all but the young man, who muttered something about humbug, and looked glum. The landlord had another excoriating remark, which he might have flung at the young man and finished him up, but he magnanimously forbore.
"However, that's only a SMALL half of the reason," Miss Elliott went on. "She's furious on account of this." These were vague words, and I said so. "Oh, THIS," she explained, "my being here; your letting me come. Impropriety all of that!" A sharp whistle issued from her lips. "Oh! the EXCORIATING things she's said of my pursuing you!"
The words of Offitt, alternately wheedling and excoriating, had turned his foolish head. His hatred of Farnham was easily extended to the class to which he belonged, and even to the money which made him formidable.
He had risen and was walking slowly up and down before the smoldering fire, and in his incisive, deliberate, well-bred voice he was excoriating the woman who had been so cowardly as to desert a dying man.
Certain military requirements were largely responsible for this delay, and he had patiently wrestled with an unsatisfactory toilet, mentally excoriating a service which would not permit the transportation of dress uniforms while on scouting detail.
A square-faced, clean-faced fellow, with a clean love of life and of Ann Elizabeth in his heart. Henry liked him. Ann Elizabeth loved him. And yet, what must have been a long-smoldering flame of fear shot up through the very core of Henry's being, excoriating. "Why, Ann Elizabeth," he kept repeating, in his slow and always inarticulate manner, "I You Mine I just never thought."
Then, through the blazing doorway, the great form of Nick Westley rushes headlong, shouting as he comes. "Aim-sa! Aim-sa!" The cry echoes and reëchoes, giving fresh spirit to the baying of the wolves that wait in the cover of the woodland. On rushes the man heedless of the excoriating roughnesses of the ground beneath his bare and battered feet.
Sleep got the better of fear to such an extent that my boots appeared to gape, and my bonnet nodded on its peg, before I gave in. Having piled my cloak, bag, rubbers, books and umbrella on the lower shelf, I drowsily swarmed onto the upper one, tumbling down a few times, and excoriating the knobby portions of my frame in the act.
Of course I wouldn't attack him unfairly, but I do believe in conservation and what could I do but come here to you?" Dan smiled to reassure her. "Perhaps you won't feel like excoriating him when you learn more about things. I know you wouldn't be unfair. You'd flunk the job first. Wait till you talk to him. But you can't refuse his kindness, for a time at least.
Sometimes it is exasperating enough to make the March breezes below seem tender; then it tosses about in snatching gusts, buffeting, and slapping, and excoriating him who stands in its way. Somehow, all the peculiarities of Horn o' the Moon seem referable, in a mysterious fashion, to the wind. The people speak in high, strenuous voices, striving to hold their own against its wicked strength.
