I hope you will excuse me if I decline your proffer," said Cap, who had a well of deep, true, earnest feeling beneath her effervescent surface. "What! you will not even grant a repentant man your friendship, Miss Black?" asked Craven, with a sorrowful smile. "I wish you well, Mr. Le Noir.
Choicest ills betide me! if e'er I ask Aught more than this; but one this one alone: Throw me a pot-herb from thy mother's stock. EURIPIDES. The fellow would insult me shut the door. DIKAIOPOLIS. Soul of me, thou must go without a pot-herb! Wist thou what conflict thou must soon contend in To proffer speech and full defence for Sparta? Forward, my soul! the barriers are before thee.
John," said I. "Tossed about all her life from one foreign school to another, she may justly proffer the plea of ignorance in extenuation of most of her faults. And then, from what she says, I believe her father and mother were brought up much as she has been brought up." "I always understood she had no fortune; and once I had pleasure in the thought," said he.
No; the father, G. frankly admits, lost his head in the excitement of the moment a confession which confirms the impression that, on a much less auspicious occasion, it has been thought desirable that a younger and stronger man should assume the direction of affairs. To proffer Royalty potage au riz on such brief notice was of course out of the question.
Whereat madame bowed, smiled, accepted the golden balls as if it were a bouquet, returning the gift, a few seconds later, by the proffer of the gravy dish.

Silver we send thee, Jewels and javelins, Goodliest garments, All our possessions, Priceless, we proffer. Sheep will we slaughter, Steeds will we sacrifice; Bright blood shall bathe thee, O tree of Thunder, Life-floods shall lave thee, Strong wood of wonder. Mighty, have mercy, Smite us no more, Spare us and save us, Spare us, Thor! Thor!
Lastly, there is the character of Muḥammad. It is a most inadequate description. These are the chief contributions which Muslim friends and lovers will be able to make; these, the beliefs which we shall hold more firmly through our brothers' faith. Will Muslims accept as well as proffer gifts? I should like to say something here about the sweetness of Muḥammad.
"Will you step down there?" "Bah!" she said, "it is all sordid. Leander, a restlessness has come upon me. I come back night after night out of the vagueness in which I have lain so long, and for what? To stand here in this mean chamber and proffer my favour, only to find it repulsed, disdained. I am tired of it tired!" "You can't be more tired of it than I am!" he said.
I did not require their aid, yet, the proffer of it could not help being grateful to one's feelings, all the same. There was Horner now. You know that I was always in the habit of "chaffing" him, taking a malicious pleasure in so doing, from the reason that he could not "chaff" me back again in return.
