"Oh, stay for supper!" pleaded June. "You'll get enough of me when you come out to the ranch," he laughed, giving her cheek a brotherly pinch. While Mrs. Reed would have resented such familiarity with June's cheek on the part of Mr. Walker, or even Mr. Bentley, she took it as an act of condescension and compliment on the part of the Governor's son, and smiled.
Seeing her plight I naturally pulled up, but he resented this strongly and rose straight on his hind legs. Fearing he would over-balance, I quickly slacked the reins and leant forward on his neck. But it was too late; that slippery mud was no place to try and regain a foothold, and over he came. I just had time to slip off sideways, promptly lost my foothold and collapsed as well.

Pett stood in the doorway, regarding his step-son with a sombre eye. He resented the boy's tone of easy patronage, all the harder to endure with philosophic calm at the present moment from the fact that the latter was lounging in his favourite chair. Even from an aesthetic point of view the sight of the bulging child offended him. Ogden Ford was round and blobby and looked overfed.
It was one thing more to be borne, and it outweighed all other cares. The news of the duel had given her great distress. She believed honestly that she was in no way concerned in it, and she had bitterly resented old Saracinesca's imputation.
In spite of their acrimonious tilts over the card table, he and the baron were as thick as could be when it came to the question of the derelict countess.

"The idea of her playing with them," murmured Mrs. Barlow contemptuously as she carried her off. Not long afterwards a shout of triumph attracted her attention to another part of the field, where she was certain "Master Willie" would be found.
such a one, I say, will take no harm by it, nor admit from it any absurd thing into his belief. Whom at a banquet, whiles he sings his praise And speaks him fair, yet treacherously he slays. Yea, he will repress his tears for Achilles and Agamemnon, while they are resented as mourning after their death, and stretching forth their limber and feeble hands to express their desire to live again.
He also liked to have perpetually around him individuals whom he could bully to his heart's content, who never resented an insult and never minded an insolence and Rhodes was often insolent.
Snap highly applauded the resolution, and affirmed that the affront was by no means to be put up by any who bore the name of a gentleman, and that unless his friend resented it properly he would never execute another warrant in his company; that he had always looked upon him as a man of honour, and doubted not but he would prove himself so; and that, if it was his own case, nothing should persuade him to put up such an affront without proper satisfaction.
