The eminent professors in this grovelling department are at first merely out of sorts with themselves, and vent their spleen in little interjections and contortions of phrase cry Pish at a lucky hit, and Hem at a fault, are smart on personal defects, and sneer at 'Beauty out of favour and on crutches' are thrown into an ague-fit by hearing the name of a rival, start back with horror at any approach to their morbid pretensions, like Justice Woodcock with his gouty limbs rifle the flowers of the Della Cruscan school, and give you in their stead, as models of a pleasing pastoral style, Verses upon Anna which you may see in the notes to the Baviad and Maeviad.
Her brother turned upon her roughly at last, and bid her cease her ill-omened croaking; whereat she tossed her head and muttered a good many scornful interjections, and "could not see why she need be called to task like that." The whole party descended to the door when the preparations for the start were complete.
Caroline never knew that she had as much as told her the moral suicide Evan had committed at Beckley; so cunningly had she been probed at intervals with little casual questions; random interjections, that one who loved him could not fail to meet; petty doubts requiring elucidations.
Will vented those adjuring interjections which imply that admiration is too strong for syntax; and Naumann said in a tone of piteous regret "Ah now if I could but have had more but you have other engagements I could not ask it or even to come again to-morrow." "Oh, let us stay!" said Dorothea. "We have nothing to do to-day except go about, have we?" she added, looking entreatingly at Mr. Casaubon.
Cogglesby! and 'In the presence of ladies! were the admonishing interjections of the sisters, at whom the little man frowned in turns. 'Do you wish us to quit the room, sir? inquired his wife. 'God bless your soul, you little darling! he apostrophized that stately person. 'Here, come along with me, Harry. A wife's a wife, I say hang it!
I can't begin to go into details, but one thing was hearing German spoken everywhere in the street: not the German of Germany, but the Pennsylvania German, with its broad vowels and broken-down grammatical forms, and its English vocables and interjections, which you caught in the sentences which came to you, like av coorse, and yes and no for ja and nein.
Algernon Blancove, the young squire, had proposed for Rhoda's hand. Anthony had robbed the Bank. The young squire was aware of the fact, and had offered to interpose for him, and to make good the money to the Bank, upon one condition. So much, Rhoda had gathered from her uncle's babbling interjections throughout the day.
While one was telling of some heroic deed recently done by a near relative, the rest of us listened attentively, and exclaimed in undertones, "Han! han!" As the discourse became more thrilling, according to our ideas, we raised our voices in these interjections. In these impersonations our parents were led to say only those things that were in common favor.
If her good fortune had but equalled her courage and energy she should have relinquished celibacy years ago. 'Oh, dear dear Mrs Pansey, said the younger lady, strong in adjectives and interjections and reduplication of both, 'is the bishop very, very sweet? 'He's sweet enough as bishops go, growled Mrs Pansey, in her deep-toned voice. 'He might be better, and he might be worse.
But, alas for poor Matty she had no conversational powers; she was only great at interjections, at ceaseless giggling, and at violent and uncontrollable fits of blushing. Even Beatrice felt a sense of repulsion at the very open way in which Matty played her innocent cards. Matty was in love, and she showed it by voice, look and gesture.
