Reprehensible, no doubt, gentlemen, but we all have to live, and besides, Barthorpe promised me that he'd treat Miss Wynne most handsomely. Well, that procedure was settled with the result that we're all aware of. And now I'd like to ask Mr. Davidge there a question as I'm about to tell him who the real murderer of Jacob Herapath was, perhaps he'll answer it.
Broken-hearted and disconsolate she determined to make her complaint to the king; but she was told that it would be all in vain, because so spiritless and faineant was he that he not only neglected to avenge affronts put upon others, but endured with a reprehensible tameness those which were offered to himself, insomuch that whoso had any ill-humour to vent, took occasion to vex or mortify him.
Both King and people "and by people was meant every individual in the land" were bound to serve God according to their conscience. The imperial envoys found such language extremely reprehensible, and promptly refused, as umpires, to entertain the fourteen articles.
But all these foolish arguments of old Sag-Harbor only evinced his foolish pride of reason a thing still more reprehensible in him, seeing that he had but little learning except what he had picked up from the sun and the sea. I say it only shows his foolish, impious pride, and abominable, devilish rebellion against the reverend clergy.
The king's long account of his fruitless quest for truth would be tiresome if it were not of such great historic interest and the same may be said of the Buddha's enumeration of superstitious and reprehensible practices, but from this point onwards his discourse is a magnificent crescendo of thought and language, never halting and illustrated by metaphors of great effect and beauty.
For my own part I am constrained to admire the militant pastor, as Lessing himself admired him. From an artistic point of view he is not an uninteresting figure to contemplate. And although his attempts to awaken persecution were reprehensible, yet his ardour in defending what he believed to be vital truth is none the less to be respected.
He is perfectly free in his remarks upon all that strikes him as strange or reprehensible in any one's personal appearance or behaviour; and he never dreams that his victims might prefer not to be criticised in public.
Matey said he should be happy to reach it with half the honours Lord Ormont had won. "Excepting the duels," Shalders had the impudence to say. "If the cause is a good one!" cried Matey. "The cause, or Lord Ormont has been maligned, was reprehensible in the extremest degree." Shalders cockhorsed on his heels to his toes and back with a bang.
Thus these innocent relations with a young man whose reputation was rather equivocal could not but awaken in the heart of Madame de Tecle a sentiment, or rather an illusion, which the most prudish could not condemn. Libertines offer to vulgar women an attraction which surprises, but which springs from a reprehensible curiosity.
"Niece," said the colonel, stamping with his stick at the bottom of the carriage, as if to arouse her, "you were talking and dancing a great deal too much with that young naval man that Captain Fleetwood and after what I said to you at the commencement of the evening, I consider such conduct highly reprehensible."
