He had been obliged to undergo a lustration of near an hour, before he could be put to bed. He was just risen, when the message was delivered. "Zounds!" cried the peer, "he is, is he? And so this fellow, whom nobody knows, has the impudence to snub me! By my title, and all the blood of my ancestors, he is not worthy of my sword. I will have him assassinated.
There was a great deal of charming music, too, in 'The Emerald Isle' , which Sullivan left unfinished at his death, and Mr. Edward German completed. During his lifetime, Sullivan was called the English Auber by people who wanted to flatter him, and the English Offenbach by people who wanted to snub him. Neither was a very happy nickname.
Vaudreuil believed himself a military genius. It was he and not Montcalm who had the supreme military command, and he regarded as an unnecessary intruder this general officer sent out from France. Now that Montcalm was come, Vaudreuil showed a malignant alertness, born of jealousy, to snub and check him. Outward courtesies were, of course, maintained.
Grinning and wrinkling up his snub nose, Barabbas let it be understood that he was not to be won with women and promises he was no longer young enough.

The man was a sort of nondescript in a semi-European shooting garb, with a wide-brimmed sombrero on his head, black hair, a deeply tanned face, a snub nose, huge beard and moustache, and immense blue spectacles.

"She said 'I always say what I think," Beth replied; "until it struck me that 'I always say what I think' is a person who only thinks disagreeable things." "Well, I like her," said Dan; "and I always get on with her. If she's going to show up friendly at last, I hope you won't snub her.
