It ended in Gardner's treating the matter as if he had engaged not to betray him, and being hardly gainsaid, otherwise than by a sort of bantering proviso, that in case of an appeal direct, he could not be expected to vouch for Mark's entire and disinterested reformation.
She loved him no less, and no man of the kindred gainsaid their love, and they were to be wedded on Midsummer Night.
"Stop," replied the Count, "there you at once ask me more than I can tell you. I was told, 'Guard the prison, and I guard it. You, gentlemen, who are almost military men yourselves, you are aware that an order must never be gainsaid." "But this order has been given to you that the traitors may be enabled to leave the town." "Very possibly, as the traitors are condemned to exile," replied Tilly.
But this remark was followed up by another, to the effect that, not only did some fellows never know when their room was better than their company, but they persisted in staying when their company wasn't wanted; and by so doing disturbed the serenity of society at large. But this, also, was a general observation that could not be gainsaid.

No doubt the weak side of universal suffrage is too obvious to be overlooked. It cannot be gainsaid that civilisation has been the work of a small minority of superior intelligences constituting the culminating point of a pyramid, whose stages, widening in proportion to the decrease of mental power, represent the masses of a nation.
There is in his verse a music which hardly ever wholly loses itself, and which at times is as sweet as that in any English poet after him. This assertion is not one which is likely to be gainsaid at the present day, when there is not a single lover of Chaucer who would sit down contented with Dryden's condescending mixture of censure and praise.
Amy had already taken her tray up, and brought it back untouched; but Vava would not be gainsaid, and carried up some soup, which she declared Eva was very fond of.
