Both had begun by falling in love with Concha, and although they rebounded swiftly from the blow to their hopes, it happily saved them from a more serious dilemma; unwealthed and graceless as they were, they would have been regarded with little favor by the practical California father. As it was, their pleasures were unpoisoned by regrets or rebuffs.
And she knew that these had dropped away at first in the struggle, which for her had been so intense and narrowing, to gain a foothold in the town; then through rebuffs from the clever friends of Joe Lanier when she married him; and later through a feeling of lazy acceptance of her lot. But Ethel's talk and Ethel's eyes recalled what had been left behind.
But I'll tell you this, skulking around other people's property, after the skirts of a woman, never yet brought a man anything but rebuffs." "Aw! cut out your damned yapping, Bremner," he yelled furiously. "Who the hell wants any of your jaw? Play straight the devil! You're some yellow cuss to talk to anybody about playin' straight." It was all I could do to keep my temper in check.
But he realized that there was small chance indeed of his working any alteration in her, much less winning her admitted regard, until he was definitely a success, until he had definitely proven himself right. So he took her rebuffs with a smile, and waited his time. He understood her point of view, and sympathized with her; for her point of view had once been his own.
He wearied his brain in recalling a chance expression of her eyes that could not have been unfriendly; an inflection of her voice that might have carried a hope, if only their paths had been less crossed: and his pride, despite rebuffs, sought her as a moth seeks a flame.
Best of all, suddenly, on the plea of dying among his friends, Ledwith was set free, mainly through the representations of Lord Constantine in London and Arthur in Washington. These rebuffs told upon the Minister severely. He knew from whose strong hand they came, and that the same hand would not soon tire of striking.
When Bergson was sent to join his predecessors, I determined that I would get some word out of this strange child I had never yet heard him speak, not a single syllable. I determined to brave all rebuffs. I was prepared for that. "Well?" I said, when Bergson was laid down. "Well! What do you make of that?" He turned and looked out of the window.
Not in Naples only did fortune now administer to him rebuffs, which seemed singularly to rebuke the change of direction and of base which he had been persuaded to give to his personal efforts. Immediately upon his arrival in Palermo, he heard from St.
"Why will you continue," said his brother in a low voice, "to render yourself liable to these strong rebuffs from plain people?" "Well said, most vituline Solomon secundus, well said." "Hycy," said his mother, "you ought to remimber that every one didn't get the edi cation you did an' that ignorant people like your father and Gerald Kavanagh there can't undhercomestand one-half o' what you say.
Stay! my friend has refused all the gifts that I would fain have heaped upon him, until I offer him no more in the sight of men for fear of courting further rebuffs. Here no man sees us. Will he then take with him one of these bags of pearls, such as any prince might desire in vain to buy, and any queen might wear? What! I have offended him again? Say no more, my friend; your ways are not as ours.
