Antigonus answered that this was too much for a cynic to ask for. After this rebuff he asked for a penny. Antigonus answered that this was too little for a king to give.
Still more to increase the advocate's perturbation, the heat of the court had become excessive, and the rebuff which, at an earlier period of his career, and with an unwounded heart, would have provoked only such a grim and threatening smile as a powerful wrestler might wear, when, in the careless security of proud contempt, he had been thrown by a boy now, in the self-esteem of age and the anguish of bereavement, moved him almost to madness.
"My name," said Varney, "in fairly legible print, is on the card which you hold in your hand." She raised her eyes and looked at him, perplexed, hesitating, a little mortified, like one who has encountered an unlooked-for rebuff. "Forgive me," she ventured rather shyly, "but do you think it would be possible for you to to keep an incog here where you must have so many friends?

The rebuff which Jesus quietly gave them did not cool their ardor, until on the following day, in the synagogue in Capernaum, he plainly taught them that they had quite missed the significance of his miracle. They thought of loaves and material sustenance.
So it happened that when Missou arrived a few minutes later he found this pair of gentlemen, who were about to flee for their lives, busily inditing what McWilliams had termed facetiously billets-doux. Each of them was trying to make his letter a little warmer than friendship allowed without committing himself to any chance of a rebuff.
Would it be taking a liberty to ask what science it treats of?" The philosopher kept his eyes lowered as he replied: "The subject of this book is beyond the comprehension of ladies."
