She doesn't give herself the airs she used to, anyway. David could bear it no longer. 'I think you had better go and take Cecile to bed, he said peremptorily. 'I heard it strike nine a few minutes ago. I will go and talk business to Lucy. She went with a careless air. As he saw her shut the door his heart felt once more dead and heavy.
She made her preparations, and wrote to him, that, if he did not forbid her peremptorily, he must expect to see her at his breakfast-table in a very few days. Mr. Vane concluded this was a jest, and did not answer this letter at all. Mrs. Vane started.
"He has undertaken to finish this job by six o'clock, and I wish to see whether he'll be as good as his word." "He'll have hard work to do it by that time, father," remonstrated Thames; "you'd better let me help him." "On no account," rejoined Wood peremptorily. "A little extra exertion will teach him the advantage of diligence at the proper season. Lost ground must be regained.
Medical jurisprudence, no doubt, that part of our profession which is at the service of the courts, and obeys the judges' behests." "Sir!" But the doctor was not the man to allow himself to be defeated a second time.

These proposals the old lady had, without any deliberation, accepted, and had insisted, in the most violent manner, on her daughter's compliance, which Amelia had as peremptorily refused to give; insisting, on her part, on the consent which her mother had before given to our marriage, in which she was heartily seconded by the doctor, who declared to her, as he now did to me, 'that we ought as much to be esteemed man and wife as if the ceremony had already past between us.
"Yes, Fred's wife," cried the poor creature, rushing forward to him; "and oh! where is he? I've come thousands of miles to hear. Is he ill? has anything happened to him? Where is Fred?" "Susan, you are not able to manage this; leave it to me," said her sister, drawing her back peremptorily. "Dr Rider, please to answer us. We know you well enough, though you don't seem ever to have heard of us.
In the course of the summer, the interpreter of the post being in want of some paddles, employed this exemplary father to make them, and paid for them in rum. The quantity was so small, however, that it only had the effect of exciting their thirst, and they returned early in the night for more, which was peremptorily refused.
After the sermon, when the congregation were filing out, leaving behind those more particularly distressed in mind to be dealt with more intimately in a small prayer-meeting by Mr. Dyson and a prayer-leader, the minister suddenly stepped aside from a group of people he was talking with, and touched David on the arm as he was making for the door. 'Won't you stay? he said peremptorily.
People arose who took upon them utterly to deny this scriptural doctrine. Peremptorily they challenged the assertion that poverty must always exist. The Bible said that it was an affection of human society which could not be exterminated; the economist of 1800 said that it was a foul disease, which must and should be exterminated.
