"Yes, sir, the lip of Satan and the imperence of sin." "Pete!" cried Philip, in a tone of incredulity; "why, he hasn't a thought about you that isn't out of the Prayer-book." Cæsar snorted. "No?
Well, it's all right for loiks o' ye, no doubt; but if we changes our mindses, we hears of it." "So, it seems, do we!" said Lily. "But never mind, Mrs Crump. Do you send us our letters up early, and then we won't quarrel." "Oh, letters! Drat them for letters. I wish there weren't no sich things. There was a man here yesterday with his imperence.
Nothing loth, Martha began to eat and drink, mingling a warm tear or two with the hot soup, and venting a sob now and then as she proceeded. Watching her for a few moments, Matty left her. In passing she stopped and said to Imperence, in a whisper of terrible intensity, "If you speak to that girl again you shall have no more." No more!
We were in the full enjoyment of these festivities when we heard a shrill, and by no means musical voice, exclaim, ‘Hope you’ll know me agin, imperence!’ and on looking intently forward to see from whence the sound came, we found that it proceeded, not from the young lady in the cloth boots, as we had at first been inclined to suppose, but from a bulky lady of elderly appearance who was seated in a chair at the head of the cellar-steps, apparently for the purpose of superintending the sale of the articles arranged there.
Why, deuce take your imperence, said Mrs Prig, with a rapid change from banter to ferocity, 'what do you mean? 'Go along with you! said Mrs Gamp. 'I blush for you. 'You had better blush a little for yourself, while you ARE about it! said Mrs Prig. 'You and your Chuffeys! What, the poor old creetur isn't mad enough, isn't he? Aha!
"Don't come here with your imperence!" the cook said, but she was pleased with Dicky's unmeaning compliment all the same. "I see him," said the housemaid. "He was colloguing with the butcher in the yard a bit since. He'd got a brown-paper parcel. Perhaps he got a lift home." So we went and told Father, and about the white present in the parcel.
'This here, Sir, rejoined Sam. 'I'm wery much afeerd, sir, that the properiator o' this here coach is a playin' some imperence vith us. 'How is that, Sam? said Mr. Pickwick; 'aren't the names down on the way-bill?
Whilst the party were mounting the coach he observed that the proprietor's name, written in bold letters on the coach, was no other than "Pickwick." He drew his master's attention to it, but Mr. Pickwick merely thought it a very extraordinary thing. Sam, on the other hand, was of the opinion that the "properiator" was playing some "imperence" with them.
"What you?" exclaimed the Peddler, regarding me with eye of scorn. "You eh?" he repeated. "Well, burn my neck, there's imperence for ye!" "Put up your hands!" said I. "What fight, is it?" "It is!" said I. "Unless you prefer to depart immediately." "Well, twist my innards!" exclaimed the Peddler, laying aside his brooms. "The owdacious young willin'! Wants t' fight!
"Shut your mouth!" "Don't you show me no more of your imperence!" Everyone was getting very angry. The dark gipsy faces were frowning and anxious-looking.

But they were afraid to move.
