We keep our notions to ourselves until they turn out to be right, and then we declare that we saw through the problem from the first. When we have been wrong, we say nothing. So you observe, Cary, that whatever happens our reputations do not suffer." Cary tried to shake my resolution, but I was obdurately silent.
So he stood for awhile in debate with himself, the relentlessness of the executioner warring obdurately with the tenderness of the lover and while he did so a group of three horsemen came into view on the highway, moving slowly toward his house.
Unlovely and unloved, she is almost an object of pity, as with dungeon, rack and fagot she strives to restore the Religion she loves, and to win the husband she adores. But Philip remained obdurately in Spain, and while she was lighting up all England with a blaze of martyrs, Calais, the last English possession in France, was lost.
Ephraim, though he knew of it, did not speak of it when he came home to his dinner; Mr. Graves had called, and informed her of the meeting in the town hall that night. "It is our only chance," he said obdurately, in answer to her protests. "We must lay the case before the people of Brampton.
Ida had often thought during the boy's illness of the man who had found him, and brought him safely home to them on that anxious day; and she wished much to testify her gratitude to the misanthropic dweller in the gamekeeper's cottage; but she hesitated as to her manner of approaching him.

"Dern' a Major or a Colonel don't make it much better," said Si, obdurately, but with much more respect.
I'll get hold of him this evening." But Tony proved obdurately uncommunicative. "It's too late to 'talk'!" he told her, with a roughness that was quite foreign to him. "All the talking in the world wouldn't mend matters. It's" he looked at her oddly "it's neck or nothing now, Ann."
I shudder at the extremes to which thy accursed seducer may have urged thee. What thou hast failed in concealing thou mayest be so obdurately wicked as to attempt to justify.

"But he's a real stirrin', likely young man, and captain of a fine ship," said Mrs. Badger. "Don't care if he's captain of twenty ships," said Miss Roxy, obdurately; "he ain't a professor of religion, and I believe he's an infidel, and she's one of the Lord's people."
