While she pounded Ragtime mercilessly over the little-traveled northern highways, she struggled rebelliously with stubborn arguments which only left her more and more bewildered, the more conclusive they became. She summoned parallels by the score to her support, but she lacked the trick of facile finality, somehow, which had always marked his usage of such argument.
As the train passed, Carroll saw his face at a window, and bowed, raising his hat half-mechanically. Anderson was conscious of a distinct sensation of pity for him, the more so that he was helpless and rebelliously depressed himself. He meditated upon the advisability of going into the other car, the Pullman, before the arrival of the train at New Sanderson, and bidding Charlotte farewell.
I take shame to myself to have cried out for such a pin's prick! Speak on! thy first line is as soft as honey dew, as suggestive as the light of dawn on sleeping flowers!" And, leaning dizzily back on his couch, he closed his eyes to shut in the hot and bitter tears that welled up rebelliously and threatened to fall, notwithstanding his endeavor to restrain them.
The Germans had struck at the head, and the head was conquered and stunned only to release the body from its rule. New York had become a headless monster, no longer capable of collective submission. Everywhere it lifted itself rebelliously; everywhere authorities and officials left to their own imitative were joining in the arming and flag-hoisting and excitement of that afternoon.
And she gave Margaret the impression, as she entered the room, that she thought force was about to be resorted to. "It is your duty to come downstairs and see him," Margaret had said. She always brought in poor Duty, who certainly must have been fagged to death at that time. "I hate him!" said Tita rebelliously, and now with increased venom, as she saw that Margaret only had come to the assault.
Is that that impudent young clerk of yours to go unpunished?" "Why, yes, I guess likely he is." "Then I shall NEVER buy another dollar's worth of your house again, sir." Captain Zelotes bowed. "I'm sorry to lose your trade, Mr. Calvin," he said. "Good mornin'." Albert, at his desk in the outer office, was waiting rebelliously to be called before his grandfather and upbraided.
The whistle of the flute, the shrill singing of the clarionets, the heavy roaring of the basses, the ruffling of the little drum and the drones of the blows on the big one, all this fell on the monotonous and dull sounds of the wheels, as they cut the water apart, smote the air rebelliously, drowned the noise of the human voices and hovered after the steamer, like a hurricane, causing the people to shout at the top of their voices.
And how would the thing SOUND a railroad magnate owning the 'Protest'?" "He might do more good that way than in any other," mourned Anna rebelliously, "and my goodness, Sue, isn't his first duty to you and the children?" "Bill said that selling the 'Protest' would make his whole life a joke," Susan said. "And now I see it, too.
Determination was implicit in the sharply unnatural lines of her corset and the firm set of her glasses as she charged into the gently swaying runners. The wheels turned rebelliously, the mower bit, its rusty blades grated against the knife, something clanked forcibly and the machine stopped. Mrs. Dinkman pushed, her back arched with effort the mower didnt budge. She pulled it back.
Why laboriously climb a hill merely to see and yearn for things that you cannot have, if you must go back and live in the hollow again? Well, she thought rebelliously, she would not go back to the hollow again that was all. She knew what was coming and her cousin Dave's perpetual sneer sprang suddenly from the past to cut through her again and the old pride rose within her once more.
