Had he ever known much else from those under him but incivility and rebellion? Ever since Mendez left in August the men had been looking in vain for his return. Autumn and winter and spring wore away, and as the natives had grown tired of feeding them, the shipwrecked crew were now mere skeletons.
So behold me now in the only town in Iceland, the seat of the so-called cultivated classes, whose customs and mode of life I will now lay before my honoured readers. Nothing was more disagreeable to me than a certain air of dignity assumed by the ladies here; an air which, except when it is natural, or has become so from long habit, is apt to degenerate into stiffness and incivility.
Another rule should be that any incivility or neglect on the part of any library attendant should be reported to the librarian. In such cases, the attendant should always be heard, before any admonition or censure is bestowed. An almost necessary rule in most libraries is that no book should be taken from the shelves by any person not employed in the library.
Turning from the restless curiosity in Chilcote's eyes, he moved a little way across the room and began to draw off his coat. Then, as if struck by the incivility of the action, he looked back again. "The scheme has gone extraordinarily," he said. "I could almost say absurdly. There are some things, Chilcote, that fairly bowl a man over." A great relief tinged Chilcote's face.
It was a speech so bold that the scourge of the Spanish Main tugged at his whiskers with an air of comical perplexity. The headstrong Jack was keen enough to note that he had made an impression and he rashly added: "'Tis not long since I knocked a pirate on the head for incivility." Mr.

"When, and where, and how, and by whom was conferred upon you the right to demand of me an accounting of my private affairs?" Her bosom was heaving in hot resentment of his studied incivility and her lips trembled with a fierce desire to give him scorn for scorn.
The mayor, who was flanked by his mayoress, got out and came round to the portico on the garden side. As he did so Rigou saw Madame le comtesse at a window. She, however, devoted to the bishop and to religion and to the Abbe Brossette, sent word by Francois that "Madame was out." This act of incivility, worthy of a woman born in Russia, turned the face of the ex-Benedictine yellow.
He says it will take any stain out, and is much safer than the soaps. So please use kerosene to remove the stains " Mrs. Slawson relaxed. Without the slightest hint of incivility she interrupted cheerfully, "An' does your plumber mention what'll remove the stink I should say, odor, of the karrysene?" Mrs. Sherman laughed. "Dear me, no. I'm afraid that's up to you, as Radcliffe says."
Froggatt, regarded the lad as an interloper; and though he durst not treat him with incivility, was anxious to expose any deficiency or failure on his part. Having a good deal of quickness and dexterity, he could act as a reporter, draw up articles of a certain description for the newspaper, and had, since the death of Mr.
Those in motion shot a stare at us; the torchbearers pointed at the tent and at an unseen height, muttering 'Morgen. Referring to Miss Goodwin's paper we discovered this to signify the unintelligible word morning, which was no answer at all; but the men, apparently deeming our conduct suspicious, gave us to understand by rather menacing gestures that we were not wanted there, so we passed into the dusk of the trees, angry at their incivility.
