Barre could not restrain his indignation. In the course of a fiery rejoinder he uttered truths that made him the most loved Englishman in America, when his words were published there. "Your oppressions planted them in America," he thundered. "They met with pleasure all hardships compared with those they suffered in their own country.
"I am your hunter," had been his words to her, and I knew not what had happened in all these months. "If you were a great man, you should have the best prerogative of greatness," I remarked quietly. "And what is that? Some excellent moral, I doubt not," was the rejoinder. "Mercy," I replied. "Tush!" he retorted, "mercy is for the fireside, not for the throne.
It is a charming little picture," said my lady. Bessie was gratified, but she hoped her father would not let anybody else possess it. "A matter of a guinea, and it will be well paid for," said the rector's wife. No one made any rejoinder, but Mr. Lady Latimer further invited him to paint her little friends, Dora and Dandy.
Then there came a rejoinder from Lord St. George, saying that he would be at the vicarage at the hour named. Mrs. Fenwick was of course there to entertain the nobleman, whom she had never seen before, and during the lunch very little was said about the chapel, and not a word was said about other causes of complaint. "That is a terrible building, Mrs. Fenwick," Lord St. George had remarked.
No doubt my reply would induce a rejoinder, and that compel another note from me, and that invite yet another from him; and however his might improve in warmth, they were sure not to abate. Was it his impertinent plan, with this show of respect and ceremony, to drag me into a clandestine correspondence?
There's greenery! Now, is that all wheat? Good lord, how pretty it is!" "One can quite see that Madame doesn't come from the country," was the servant's prim and tardy rejoinder. "As for me, I knew the country only too well when I was with my dentist. He had a house at Bougival. No, it's cold, too, this evening. It's damp in these parts."
Nothing but sheer basic antipathy could have been responsible for that miserable retort, "Am I to bind up your broken heart?" Anger, no doubt, was the immediate cause, but so utterly ungenerous a rejoinder to Michael's announcement could not have been conceived, except in a heart that thoroughly and rootedly disliked him.
But his account was frequently interrupted by exclamations from his wife and Isobel. At the end he dwelt strongly on the cowardly haste of the assassin's flight; only to be met by a shrewdly anxious rejoinder from the girl: "He ran away after he attacked Lafe the other time. He will come back again!" "Oh, Tom!" cried Genevieve "if he does!"
On one side, not far from the passage he was taken from, was a stout post that was planted firmly in the ground. To this Wild was taken, and being placed in an upright position, with his back to it, he was firmly tied to the post. "There!" exclaimed Chuck Snivel, fiendishly. "I reckon you'll stay there just as long as we want yer to, Young Wild West." "All right," was the calm rejoinder.
This rejoinder was an article headed "Barrel-Organs," the idea being that there was nothing new in Darwin's book, it was only a grinding out of old tunes with which we were all familiar. Butler alludes to this controversy in a note made on a letter from Darwin which he gave to the British Museum. But it was all very young and silly."
