"Do you mean to insinuate that I'm stating what is not true?" said Burke, assuming an offended look, which, however, he did not feel. "No, sir," replied Finigan, retorting his look with one of indignant scorn, "far be it from me to insinuate any such thing.
She did not hate them, but she despised their meanness; and as they one by one gave up persecuting her with their addresses, they consoled themselves with retorting upon her the words of the adage, that "her pride would have a fall!"

On Monday the Lords met again. Halifax was chosen to preside.
