This is the note on which each of the friends strikes successively, in the first of the three divisions into which the dialogue divides itself, but each with increasing peremptoriness and confidence, as Job, so far from accepting their interpretation of what had befallen him, hurls it from him in anger and disdain.
The moment for backsheesh had arrived, and Beryl, coming suddenly out of her absorption, felt for her purse and awoke abruptly to the consciousness of a hand that gripped her arm. She glanced at Fletcher, who at once slackened his hold. "Don't you give the fellow anything," he said, with a touch of peremptoriness, "I will."
Two or three nearest him endeavored with some struggling to bring him to an intelligible surface again. The master waited patiently. Johnny Filgee took advantage of the diversion to begin again in a high key, "Tige ith got thix," and subsided. "Come, Jimmy," said the master, with a touch of peremptoriness.
It hardly seemed possible that we could be within speaking-distance of them yet that was Gregory's clear enunciation; I would know his speech in a jabberfest of several nations. "What's the matter?" That, by the curt inflection, the autocratic peremptoriness, was Lessard.
He treated me with open contempt, and was always trying to humiliate me, till at last I let him understand that I would endure it no longer. One day he ordered me to clean his harness, with a peremptoriness that he would scarcely have used to a groom, so I answered, "No, sir, I shall not clean your harness; that is not my work."

There was a gentle peremptoriness in the summons, that made it something like being commanded into the presence of a princess; a great favor, no doubt, but yet a little humbling to the recipient. However, I acquiesced with due gratitude, and was presented accordingly. She made room for me on the sofa, and I sat down, and began to talk.
You can send the men away to-morrow when they come." "I shall not send them away," said Lydgate, the peremptoriness rising again. Was it of any use to explain? "If we left Middlemarch? there would of course be a sale, and that would do as well." "But we are not going to leave Middlemarch." "I am sure, Tertius, it would be much better to do so. Why can we not go to London?
"Monsieur, Monsieur!" he cried. "Diable!" I muttered, "we are becoming women! Be off, you knave! Adieu!" The peremptoriness of my tone ended our leave-taking and caused him to grip his reins and bring down his whip. The coach moved on.
She was going to have room for the energies which stirred uneasily under the dimness and pressure of her own ignorance and the petty peremptoriness of the world's habits. Now she would be able to devote herself to large yet definite duties; now she would be allowed to live continually in the light of a mind that she could reverence.
