"Susanne," she cried aloud, a thought striking her, "it is never Sir Fran it is not monsieur!" "Not in the least like monsieur," complacently answered Susanne.

Every pulse within Lady Isabel's body throbbed rebelliously: her heart bounded till it was like to burst her side, and she turned sick with astonishment.
And I wondered what was this strange fibre of pain so inwoven in the life of the world, wondered wistfully and rebelliously, till I felt that I drew nearer in that quiet hour to the Heart of God. I could not be mistaken.
One afternoon he was delayed across the bay, and as he approached the "resteraw" the fellows were already gathering for supper. Sam listened to the jovial talk and laughter coming through the door with a sore and desirous heart. "Why can't I have a good time, too?" he asked himself rebelliously. But he did not pull up. A few yards beyond the shack he met Stiffy and Mahooley riding to supper.
And again he came the next morning. "Why should I go?" said Maria Vittoria, rebelliously. "Say what you have said to me to her! Speak to her of the ignominy which will befall the King! Tell her how his cause will totter! Why talk of this to me? If she loves the King, your words will persuade her. For on my life they have nearly persuaded me."
I CAN'T leave him in that way, you know that. And, in a sense, I don't want to leave him, because he is my father and I love him." "But, confound it, you love me, too, don't you?" "You know I do. But but oh, dear! What can I do?" He did not answer at once. After a moment he said, rebelliously: "You have got your own life to live. Your father has lived the biggest part of his.
"That's what Uncle Mac is eternally telling me, but I don't intend to be lectured into the treadmill till I've had my fling first," muttered Charlie rebelliously.

And," rebelliously, "I haven't answered it yet." "Then you shall answer it now," says the professor. "And you shall say 'no' to him." "Why? Because you order me?" "Partly because of that.
Of course he believed, but life throbbed rebelliously, and a picture of a desk near a lively fire-grate, books and pen and paper, and a piece of writing to be approved of by the Hesper of ladies, held ground with a pathetic heroism against the inevitable. He got his wits to the front by walking faster; and then thought of the young countess and the friend she might be about to lose.
My old mother died soon after I had taken this oath. I kept my word as you see and you have seen too how I endure my fate."
