"Let it go as it came," said Miriam, "like a thunder-shower in this Roman sky. All is sunshine again, you see!" Donatello's refractoriness as regarded his ears had evidently cost him something, and he now came close to Miriam's side, gazing at her with an appealing air, as if to solicit forgiveness.
The child repeats a false answer, is threatened with blows, and again repeats it just because he is afraid not to say the right thing. He is struck and then answers rightly. This is a triumph of education; refractoriness is overcome. But what has happened? Increased fear has led to a strong effort of thought, to a momentary increase of self-control.
Rachel, suspicious and jealous of her rival, was obliged to let Fanny pass on to the next item, where her eager acceptance of all that was prescribed to her was evidently meant as compensation for her refractoriness about the house.
According to the statement of the consul, not less than thirty of the chief men of that district were so executed. But the history of the Venetian rule shows that it was no less cruel and even more treacherous, and Pashley gives from their own records the story of the slaughter of many of the chief people of the same district to punish refractoriness against the government of that day.
Now, Bankside had houses on each side of the road, and Wry-mouthed Tibble showed evident satisfaction when they turned to cross the bridge, where they had to ride in single file, not without some refractoriness on the part of young Headley's steed.
A sharp word would have silenced the mother's well-meant chatter at any time for she was a fragile nervous woman, entirely dependent on her surroundings but none of them were capable of it, and their mere refractoriness counted for nothing. The dining room in which they were gathered had a good deal of homely dignity, and was to the Leyburns full of associations.
"And the saints will aid the good work," the Italian protested, "for they themselves have a better right to the charming knight. How grave he looked! Take care, your Highness, he is following, as my nimble cousin Frangipani did a short time ago, in the footsteps of the Saint of Assisi." "But he must not, shall not, go into the monastery!" cried the young duchess, with childish refractoriness.
He would, then and there, lead to a shaft 60 feet deep, and deep in the jungle, too, at a spot so artfully concealed that no mortal man could ever unguided hope to find it, where was to be revealed a reef a rich reef blasted by the mere refractoriness of the ore, a disadvantage which would vanish like smoke before a man of means.
He is willing to hope you to be all obedience, and would prevent all incitements to refractoriness. I know my duty, said I; and hope I shall not find impossible condition annexed to it. A pert young creature, vain and conceited, she called me. I was the only judge, in my own wise opinion, of what was right and fit.
Their seeming swiftness is very various, and what is highly significant it is notably less when they pursue than when they meet the earth. Yet the "incredible and unaccountable" fact of the existence of these "long radiants," although doubted by Tisserand because of its theoretical refractoriness, must apparently be admitted.
