She stopped and looked at him, and then, with an impulse of impudence that only half concealed a more serious vanity, asked, "Do you think I might have made a good squaw?" "I don't know," he replied quietly. "I never saw enough of them to know."
The honest worker felt interested in this dashing adventurer; he was almost dazzled by his brilliant vices, his wit, his hardihood, conceit, marvellous assurance, and careless impudence; and he studied this specimen of the Parisian flora with no little curiosity.
"Go on, then," said the saddler, "that's just the price I always likes to pay for everything." "Will you keep it secret?" said the boy. "Of course I will. When did you ever hear of me telling anything to a single individual?" "Never to a single individual, but I have heard you tell things to the whole town." "Confound your impudence.

Green has done for you both cleverly." "Upon my soul," I cried, raising up in bed, "he should be put in the gatehouse for his impudence! My Lord, " "Don't 'My Lord' me," says Comyn; "plain 'Jack' will do." There was no resisting such a man: and I said as much. And took his hand and called him 'Jack, the doctor posing before the mirror the while, stroking his rues.

His position was that Miss Murray had been his mistress, and that although he had promised to marry her if she would change her religion for his own purer Presbyterian faith, and as the lady refused to do so, he was entirely freed from his engagement. With cynical impudence he explained his previous admission of the marriage as due to a desire to "amuse" her relatives and save her honour.
