Immediately after war was declared between Great Britain and the Boers of the Transvaal and the Orange Free State, the two South African republics became ostracised, in a great measure, from the rest of the civilised world.
If anyone but Billy Fernmore had done that, he would have been ostracised forever. Nothing like millions " "I don't believe true aristocrats would do that," interrupted Droom, half angrily. "These are the aristocrats money aristocrats; the others have lost the name forgotten. Come, let's go over yonder we can talk there."
The mighty god, Society, having descended from his London throne, and with a despotic wave of the hand bid his slaves forth to some resort where fashion reigned; as a matter of course, you and I, mon ami, must go with the stream if we would not be ostracised altogether; we should dearly love to take a lazy summer jaunt with some of them; our dear Lionel Trevalyon, in his lonely pilgrimage to the North Countree, would be glad of companionship; I wish it had been his pleasant fate to make his exodus with his old friends, the Lady Esmondet and Vaura Vernon; but it was not to be.
Dove, who rightly held it to be his duty to denounce wrong-doing of every sort, attacked them and their vices in no measured terms, and upon all occasions. For long years he kept up the fight, until at length he found himself ostracised. If they could avoid it, no white men would speak to him, nor would they allow him to instruct their Kaffirs.
But as it was clear that one of the three, Nikias, Phaeax, and Alkibiades, would be ostracised, Alkibiades combined their several parties, arranged matters with Nikias, and turned the ostracism against Hyperbolus himself.

He promptly laid both communications before Congress and was further ostracised. The Congress was a close corporation. The public was not admitted to its sessions, the debates were never published, and the proceedings rarely appeared in the public prints.
But how could he retreat? If he did not meet Merriwell he would be regarded with scorn by every one, and, like Wat Snell, who had refused to meet Bart Hodge, be ostracised in the school. "Davis ought to fight me first," he muttered. "Oh, hang that plebe!" cried Reynolds, contemptuously. "He doesn't count with Merriwell. You can attend to him when you have disposed of Merriwell.
Having once been ostracised by Society, he had never since had any real regard for conventional morality; but the idea of a love which she could never return and how could she at his age? hardly mounted beyond his subconscious mind. He was full, too, of resentment, at the waste and loneliness of her life.
"At any rate, he said that he found you reading Plato under the trees, and that any woman who read Plato ought to be ostracised unless she happens to be handsome enough to make you overlook it. Is that your Plato? What is he like?" Eugenia savagely shook her head. "It's no affair of his," she retorted promptly, meaning not Plato, but Dudley. "Oh! he said he knew it wasn't.
The secret of the preparation of this charm had been confided to Nimrod by an old hunter the year before. It was a liquid composed of rancid fish oil, and but I suppose I must not tell. A more ungodly odour I have never known. Nimrod put a few drops of it on his horse's feet, and all the other horses straightway ostracised him for several days till the worst of it wore away.
