"Well, my love," said the stock-jobber, "I believe I must be off. "Have not I prayed and besought you, many and many a time, Mr. Copperas," said the lady, rebukingly, "not to call De Warens by his Christian name?

"My anxiety to see how thou farest after thy mauling by the hell-hounds must be my excuse." Dom Diego cast upon him a look of surprise and suspicion. "The hounds may follow a wrong scent; but they are of heaven, not hell," he said rebukingly. "If I suffered wrongly, 'tis Christian to suffer, and Christian to forgive."
She quailed, and I sez, "I am one that is goin' to take good long breaths to the very last." She see I wuz like iron aginst the idee of bein' drawed in, and tapered, and she desisted.

"Mark! why, that is my given name: didn't you know it?" said Elwood, rebukingly. "No, sir, I didn't," replied the fashionable pro tempore lackey.

And I generally calculate to go by Gunter, and do the thing up genteel."
His beloved dead, who in the tumult of carnival mirth had vanished from his memory, again rose before his mind, among them the doctor, who gazed rebukingly at him with his clear, thoughtful eyes. Like an inspiration a thought darted through the youth's brain. He could and would paint Costa, his friend and teacher, Ruth's father.
"It is your mother who speaks it is her house that shelters you." "My mother? oh, Father of Heaven! now I remember: take me hence take me hence!"
