"You must take up your husband's friendships and your husband's quarrels. Did I not tell you that he had insulted you?" "He never insulted me." "Emily, you must allow me to be the judge of that. He insulted you, and then he behaved like a poltroon down at Silverbridge, and I will not have you know him any more. When I say so I suppose that will be enough."
'Sot, fool, and poltroon triple qualification for mischief I don't know why he still lives. Irons a new vista opens, and this d d young man! All this was not, as we sometimes read, 'mentally ejaculated, but quite literally muttered, as I believe every one at times mutters to himself.
But Molly was feeling peculiarly indignant at that moment, though not on account of her ruined skirt. "He's a silly poltroon!" she said with emphasis, and walked stiffly away.
"Now, the coward's curse be upon thee for an idiot!" said the knight, who had picked up the glove, and was looking at it "thou shouldst be sent back to school, and flogged till the craven's blood was switched out of thee What dost thou look at but a glove, thou base poltroon, and a very dirty glove, too? Stay, here is writing Joseph Tomkins?
Yet the crowd found her bashful fear so irresistibly funny, that it roared again. Also, when the little cow-herd with a crown on his head, lifted his hand or foot toward his partner, and then shrank trembling away, it roared yet more at the poltroon manner of the thing.

The widow was rich, and it ranked among the unwritten crimes against blood for one offshoot of a great house wantonly to thwart another in the wooing of her by humbling him in her presence, doing his utmost to expose him as a schemer, a culprit, and a poltroon. Could it be that Beauchamp had reserved his wrath with his cousin to avenge Dr. Shrapnel upon him signally?

He preys only on the smallest quadrupeds, and with all his voracity he is an arrant poltroon. A child of ten years will easily put him to flight. A second species is the hyena which so much annoyed the celebrated Bruce while travelling in Abyssinia, and may be appropriately named "Bruce's hyena."
The Abby de la Riviere was the only man who pretended to be fully persuaded that the insurrection of the people was but vapour, and he maintained it to the Queen, who was willing to believe him, though she had been satisfied to the contrary; and the conduct of the Queen, who had the courage of a heroine, and the temper of La Riviere, who was the most notorious poltroon of his time, furnished me with this remark: That a blind rashness and an extravagant fear produce the same effects while the danger is unknown.
