Then there is another difficulty that rises before our minds; and Christian men say, 'How is it possible, in this region of imperfection, compassed with infirmity and sin as we are, that such hopes should be realised for us here? Well, I would rather answer that question by retorting and saying: 'How is it possible that such a prayer should have come from inspired lips unless the thing that Paul was asking might be?

Gerard was on the point of retorting furiously, but one look at the strong, ugly face and sturdy figure convinced him of the wisdom of silence until he was actually on the doorstep of the office. Then he said: "You will have to deal with me yet, Mr. Denis Quirk." "I am quite capable of doing that," replied Denis, smilingly. Thus did "The Mercury" lose its first sporting editor.
Pytheas said, that as we always suppose there is some disease in the family to which they bring asses' milk, so wherever there comes an embassy from Athens, that city must needs be indisposed. And Demosthenes answered him, retorting the comparison: "Asses' milk is brought to restore health, and the Athenians come for the safety and recovery of the sick."
William Cobbett has written eloquently on this subject, and marshalled an immense array of facts so difficult of denial that the defenders of Protestantism were compelled to resort to the petty subterfuge of retorting that the great English radical was a mere partisan, who never spoke sincerely, but always supported the theory he happened to take up by exaggerated and distorted facts, which no one was bound to admit on his responsibility.

People agree, therefore, that it is best to take him as he is.
After the process has been continued sufficiently long, the gold-dust is collected from the blankets, and is retorted by the Chinamen themselves, and then they bring it for sale.

Mark did not like to make any suggestions about parochial work, because he was afraid of the Rector's retorting with an implied criticism of St.
At least the speech of Rushing River led Eaglenose to think so, but our chief does not say all that is in his mind. He is not a squaw at least, not a skipping one." Instead of retorting, the child looked with sudden anxiety into the countenance of her companion.
We now come to the subsidiary processes of battery work, the "cleaning" of plates, and "scaling" same when it is desired to get all the gold off them, the cleaning and retorting of amalgam, and of the mercury, smelting gold, etc.
Munger had not pressed Annie for an opinion on this point at all; but in their interest in it they both ignored the fact. Mrs. Munger tacitly admitted her position in retorting, "He needn't have stayed." "You made him stay you remember how and he couldn't have got away without being rude." "And you think he wasn't rude to scold me before my guests?" "He told you the truth.
