Anybody 'ud say you wanted to make a mawkin of me." "No, Priscy, don't say so. I begged and prayed of you not to let us have this silk if you'd like another better. I was willing to have your choice, you know I was," said Nancy, in anxious self-vindication. "Nonsense, child! you know you'd set your heart on this; and reason good, for you're the colour o' cream.
A man who, at the end of his career, could make such a profession as this who felt the need of no further self-vindication than this such a man, whatever may have been his accountability to the muse of Fiction, is a credit to England and to human nature, and deserves to be numbered among the darlings of mankind.
Mean of them! They might have known you'd scoff. All boys do, but I fail to see why if a girl has brains she should not use them as well as a man." "The inference being " "Certainly! I'm unusually clever for my years!" returned Darsie proudly, whereupon they simultaneously burst into a peal of laughter. "Well, you goaded me to it!" Darsie declared in self-vindication.
He had the manly cast of character which will not struggle for self-vindication; but his suppressed wrath gathered force, until a year later it resulted, upon occasion of official provocation, in an explosion that has not a close parallel in naval history. He had hoisted his flag again on February 28, 1758.
He refrained from all self-vindication, to which he seemed called by the violent appeal of his wife; but if he thought proper either to defend himself, or to remonstrate with her, he chose another occasion. When the passions are inflamed, the judgment is seldom sufficiently unbiassed to listen to reason or to consult propriety.
Saul, perhaps from an awkward feeling of trembling in his long legs, had resumed his seat, his little eyes more beady, his little round cheeks more ruddy, than ever, his whiskers now entirely disregarded in the importance of his self-vindication. Too proud for asseveration, Trenholme had not much more to say.
Bernard, more collected, and feeling the necessity and excitement of self-vindication, 'Madam, your noble son, under my poor tuition, has taken the highest honours of his university; his moral behaviour during that period has been immaculate; and as for his religious sentiments, even this strange scheme proves that they are, at any rate, of no light and equivocal character.
"It means one thing in my own mind, sir, and probably another in yours; but the outward expression I choose to give it is that I will not reward uncalled-for rudeness with an opportunity of self-vindication." "You are," said Thorn sneeringly, "probably careless as to the figure your own name will cut in connection with this story?" "Entirely so," said Mr. Carleton, eying him steadily.
"Oh yes, I hope I shall be happy at last. After all my troubles, I have to look to myself, Mr Edward; and your poor brother would have been the last to blame me," sobbed Mrs Fred, with involuntary self-vindication. Then followed a pause. The change was too sudden and extraordinary, and involved results too deeply important to every individual present, to make words possible.
As for Bannon, he stroked and praised them in an ecstasy of self-vindication, and was refusing the van man's offer to buy them at "a hundred dollars apiece more than they cost."
