John Paul Jones was one of the many forced to endure Arthur Lee's impertinences, and had it not been for Franklin's aid and friendship our navy would have lost the honor of that name. At one time Paul Jones was in Paris with no ship to command, and though he tried every channel to obtain a vessel from the French court, was always put off.
Of all the tyrannies that exist, the tyranny of the mob is the most oppressive; nay, the very excess of freedom which gives to each individual the right of pestering all around him with his impertinences, is surely much more hard to endure than the occasional restraints which a strong police may impose. But an absolute and irresponsible monarchy is not a pleasant government to live under.
Yet, in the last year or so, he had been continually coming across them together at the club, at luncheon in the women's dining room, at his own house, Natalie always perfectly and expensively dressed, Audrey in the casual garments which somehow her wearing made effective. He smiled a little. Certain of Audrey's impertinences came to his mind. She was an amusing young woman.
Nor am I expressing such an opinion now but only setting forth certain elementary considerations for the reader's judgment.

To suppose that Captain Ratlin did not understand entirely the motives and conduct of his enemy and would-be rival, would be to give him less credit for discernment than he deserved. He understood the matter very well, and, indeed, bore with assumed patience, for Miss Huntington's sake, many impertinences that he would otherwise have instantly asserted.
Tooker with me, and rode to Erith, and there on board my Lord Bruncker, met Sir W. Warren upon his business, among others, and did a great deale, Sir J. Minnes, as God would have it, not being there to hinder us with his impertinences. Business done, we to dinner very merry, there being there Sir Edmund Pooly, a very worthy gentleman.
"What a miserable puppet these adventurers must think me it is cruelly mortifying to see how confident of success some of them appear!" she exclaimed to her aunt. "I am very sorry, my child, that you should be annoyed in this way but it seems you must make up your mind to these impertinences it is only what every woman who has property must expect." "It is really intolerable!
Disregarding these impertinences, I enquired of the elderly man how one might best reach Hatcher's Lake.
