Goaded by provocations recently received, she went over temporarily to the side of the enemy. "I always have maintained Mrs. Porcher was full of heart," she declared, throwing the assertion across the room, much as though it was a stone, in the direction of the figure at the window. Serena drew herself up with a rustle. "I wonder exactly what Rhoda means by that?" she commented inwardly.
Again and again, in the course of their drives, he and the Mistress had sickened at sight of mutely eloquent little bodies left in mid-road or tossed in some ditch, testimony to the carelessness and callous hoggishness of autoists.

"They won't stand MUCH investigation," replied Mrs. Renwick, goaded out of her placidity.
Goaded almost to desperation by the sneering sarcasm of Vermont's words, the woman threw down her fork, thereby smashing a champagne glass, and thrust her angry, flushed countenance close to his. "What's your game?" she hissed. "Are you playing with me and Adrien? Are you setting him against me? I know your artful tricks; but don't you play 'em on me, Jasper!
It was painted in 1863, but fortunately, perhaps, Manet had not the courage to exhibit it then for who can tell to what length the fury of the Philistines might not have been goaded by two such shocks?

Major Doo informed Trenck, after this abortive attempt to escape, that he had been condemned to one year's imprisonment only. That year was within three weeks of expiring when the infamous major, who was an Italian, goaded the unfortunate young man into open defiance of his sovereign's mandate. His pardon was at once annulled and his confinement now became most rigorous.
