"For one thing, I suppose you are trying to decide why you didn't sign your name over in Las Vegas." Sanderson grinned mildly, but did not answer. He felt more at ease now, and the little man's impertinences did not bother him so much as formerly. He looked up, however, startled, when Owen said slowly: "Do you want me to tell you why you didn't sign Will Bransford's name to the affidavit?"

Pempton through a quagmire of the vices to declare, that it brutalized; and stammeringly to adopt the suggestion, that our breeding of English ladies those lights of the civilized world can hardly go with a feeding upon flesh of beasts. Priscilla regretted that champagne should have to be pleaded in excuse of impertinences to her sex.

I have lived in garrets among dirty people vulgar people vile people; I have worn rags and unclean things; I have lived upon bread and water and things that I have cooked myself; I have seen my time and my strength wasted by a thousand hateful impertinences I have been driven half mad with pain and rage; I have gone without friends I have been hated by every one; I have worked at all kinds of vile drudgery or starved myself sick that I might avoid working.

Miss Bracy, rather alarmed, lectured them just enough to make them worse; and Margaret, overhearing Blanche instructing Aubrey in her own impertinences, was obliged to call her to her sofa, and assure her that she was unkind to Flora, and that she must consider Mr. George Rivers as her brother.

Irgens turned to Milde and told him curtly that there were certain impertinences which even friends were not supposed to submit to was that clear enough? Milde burst out laughing.

A loud tongue and a prodigious luck of wit! Antics and impertinences of young men of fashion! Really, my dear, you are choice in your phrases! You could not love your brother for any recital of the delight which foreign ladies look in him, and which he took in foreign ladies! But you could be in ecstatics for a brother of your own invention. Do not suppose I am angry!

Upon close inspection I was not mistaken. But could this sad thoughtful countenance be the same vacant face of folly which I had hailed so often under circumstances of gaiety; which I had never seen without a smile, or recognised but as the usher of mirth; that looked out so formally flat in Foppington, so frothily pert in Tattle, so impotently busy in Backbite; so blankly divested of all meaning, or resolutely expressive of none, in Acres, in Fribble, and a thousand agreeable impertinences?

Gunning's new cob stood hearkening with flickering ears to the various commotions of the street she understood them all perfectly well, but her soul being unlifted by reason of oats, she chose to resent them as impertinences.

It is, perhaps, a judgment on Petrarch's adulterous Platonism, that it has laid him open to impertinences like these, which would torture his sensitive ghost almost as keenly as oblivion itself, and which very strongly remind one of Punch's intrusion at a tragedy.

Moore to see how my father and mother did, and so with him to Mr. 12th. Pickering, Creed, and Captain Ferrers to the Leg in the Palace to dinner, where strange Pickering's impertinences.
