"Any more going on?" "I'm going on!" said Paul. "Wait for me. First single to St. Pancras, quick!" "Drat the boy!" said the old lady angrily. "Do you think the world's to give way for you? Such impidence! Mind your manners, little boy, can't you? You've made me drop a threepenny bit with your scrouging!" "First single, five shillings," said the clerk, jerking out the precious ticket.
"So am I, Tom Jecks," I said; "but we can follow them." "Arter we've had another naval engagement, sir. I say, look astern; I do like the impidence of these here savages, chasing on us like this, and they're gaining on us fast." "No; only just holding their own." "Gaining, sir." "No." "Yes, sir."
Then in a moment we heard: "Weary's on it, it will not come down for us, ma'am. It's the iligant locks we do be havin' in the house; they're mortial shtrong, ma'am!" "Strong, indeed!" exclaimed the incensed Benella, in a burst of New England wrath. "There's nothing strong about the place but the impidence of the people in it!
You'll never persuade me she wasn't sweet on the master. That was at the back of all her dressings up, and flouncings and fidgetings. The impidence of it! You may well say so, Mrs. Patch. But the conceit of some people passes understanding. To be Lady Verity, if you please, that was what she was after. To my dying day I shall believe it. Don't tell me!"
Then she turned up at Dadur Junction in tow of a half-caste, and had the impidence to say I was her husband all among the drivers of the running-shed! Weve done with that, says Dravot. These women are whiter than you or me, and a Queen I will have for the winter months. For the last time o asking, Dan, do not, I says. Itll only bring us harm.
So much indeed was the Rabbi beloved that a Pitscowrie laddie, who described Saunderson freely as a "daftie" to Mains' grandson, did not see clearly for a week, and never recovered his lost front tooth. "That," remarked young Mains, "'ll learn Pitscowrie tae set up impidence aboot the minister."
'Oh, she's gaun the nicht, whether you let her or no', was the calm answer. 'And as to being impident, some folk ca's the truth impidence, because they're no' accustomed to it. But aboot Wat, ye ken as weel as me, ye micht seek east an' west through Glesca an' no' get sic anither. He's ower honest. You raise his wages, or he'll quit, if I should seek a place for him mysel'.
Nor had she long to wait. There was a shuffling of feet out in the passage, and, the next moment, the door of her room was unceremoniously flung open and the indignant woman staggered in. "Well, of all the impidence, of all the sass, of all the ignorant bums that ever I !" She exploded, and stood panting under the strain of her furious emotions. But Joan felt she really must assert herself.
She was told, for instance, that "she made mair noise aboot her paltry, dirty jelly mug, a thousand times, than it was a' worth," and was ironically, and, we may add, insultingly entreated, "for ony sake to mak nae mair wark aboot it, and a dizzen wad be sent her for't." "My troth, and there's a stock o' impidence for ye!" said Mrs.
"Well, well, well!" exclaimed Brother Roach, after exchanging a look of amazement with Brother Brannum. "Well, well, well! Who'd 'a' thought it? Once 'twas the nigger in the wood-pile; now it's the nigger in the steeple, and arter a while they'll be a-flying in the air, mark my words. I call that the impidence of the Old Boy. Maybe you don't know that nigger, Brother Brannum?"
