"Do you mean to insult me, sir, in my own house?" inquired the gentleman. "I will burst," said Mr. V., "asunder every door in your dwelling, in search of my daughter, if you do not speak quickly, and tell me where she is. I care nothing about that outcast rubbish of creation, that mean, low-lived Elfonzo, if I can but obtain Ambulinia. Are you not going to open this door?" said he.
You see I wanted to git out of this Flat Crick way. We're a low-lived set here in Flat Crick. And I says to myself, I'll try to be somethin' more nor Pete Jones, and dad, and these other triflin', good-fer-nothin' ones 'bout here. And when you come I says, There's one as'll help me.
"Colonel Talcott approached the hole, and with that Chesterfieldian manner which has distinguished the Talcotts for mo' than two centuries asked the postmaster for the loan of a three-cent postage stamp. "To his astonishment, suh, he was refused. "Think of a Talcott in his own county town bein' refused a three-cent postage stamp by a low-lived Yankee, who had never known a gentleman in his life!
They never dreamed we was dry pickin' that jam. They sent some low-lived whelp down there to hang our drive, and by smoke it looks like they was going to succeed, thanks to you mutton-heads. "'Spose you go over and take 'em apart; what then? You have a scrap; probably you lick 'em." The men growled ominously, but did not stir.
"I don't like that fellow anyway, Emily." "Don't like him! why not, pray?" He gave a sort of derisive ejaculation, and added: "You are a little simpleton, Emily, so good and true, you take all for gold." "Well," I replied, "Matthias is good, I know; but why do you dislike him?" "Oh! he belongs to a miserable, low-lived, thievish race, and he knows enough to be a dangerous fellow to have round.
When the man whose unfolding I would now represent, regards even his dearest love, he finds it such a poor, selfish, low-lived thing, that in his heart he shames himself before his children and his friends. How little labour, how little watching, how little pain has he endured for their sakes! He reads of great things in this kind, but in himself he does not find them.
So long as any yet extant national sentiment, or prejudice, was not yet directly assailed so long as that arbitrary power was yet wise, or fortunate enough to withhold the blow which should make the individual sense of outrage, or the feeling of a class the common one so long as those peaceful, social elements, yet waited the spark that was wanting to unite them so long 'the laws of England' might be, indeed, at a Falstaff's or a Nym's or a Bardolph's 'commandment, for the Poet has but put into 'honest Jack's' mouth, a boast that worse men than he, made good in his time so long, the faith, the lives, the liberties, the dearest earthly hopes, of England's proudest subjects, her noblest, her bravest, her best, her most learned, her most accomplished, her most inspired, might be at the mercy of a woman's caprices, or the sport of a fool's sheer will and obstinacy, or conditioned on some low-lived 'favorites' whims.
I've got you now, and by before you can get out of this room you've got to both write and sign precisely the retraction I have demanded, and before you go, anyhow you -low-lived lying , I'll teach you what personal responsibility is outside of the law; and, by , Sheriff Cummings and all the friends you've got in the world besides, can't save you, you , etc.! No, sir.
If I succeed in keeping this shame and misery a secret from everybody if I take Emma away, to some place abroad, on pretence of her health there is an end of his hope of becoming your son-in-law; there is an end of his being taken into the business. Yes! he, the low-lived vagabond who puts up the shop-shutters, he looks forward to being taken into partnership, and succeeding you when you die!
It seemed perfectly natural for her to be discussing a young man in an impersonal manner. "I am referring to that low-lived vagrant we met on the road that iceman that well, I don't know what he is except that the devil seems to be kicking him under my feet to trip me. Kate, Kate, it's too ridiculous to talk about that wretch!"
