"Nay, you used to like it well enough, child!!" interposes her mother. "That was when she was a child: don't you see she is grown up to be an old woman?" remarks Hetty's father. "Or perhaps Miss Hester has got the gout?" "Fiddle!" says Hester, snappishly, drubbing with her little feet. "What's a dance without a fiddle?" says imperturbed papa. Darkness has come over Harry Warrington's face.
The ceremony commences, when at the due charge which summons any man to come forward and show just cause why they should not be joined together, a voice interposes to forbid the marriage.

And here lies the difficulty; when we point out to a rich man his duty, his corrupt and avaricious heart interposes and says, no; you would rob me of my goods, you would damage my pecuniary interests; I cannot, I will not yield to your requisitions.

Those ideas, which have no archetype but in the imagination of man, must necessarily take their complexion from his own character; must be clothed with his own passions; must constantly follow the revolutions of his machine; be lively or gloomy; favourable or prejudicial; friendly or inimical; sociable or savage; humane or cruel; according as he whose brain they inhabit shall himself be disposed; in fact, they can never be more than the shadow of the substance he himself interposes between the light and the ground on which they are thrown.
I had a good stake on him, too, that day. Lor', the races that has been chucked away on this horse. They will not ride him right." A trainer who is standing by, civilly interposes. "This isn't Blue Fire," he says. "Blue Fire's out walking about. This is a two-year-old filly that's in the stall " "Well, I can see that, can't I," says the Oracle, crushingly.
Jasper interposes, taking his place at the table with a genial smile, 'and so do you, Ned, that Uncle and Nephew are words prohibited here by common consent and express agreement. For what we are going to receive His holy name be praised! 'Done like the Dean! Witness, Edwin Drood! Please to carve, Jack, for I can't. This sally ushers in the dinner.
