With all this, like her son Richard, she was capable of strong revulsions. Thus she had loved, then hated King Henry; thus she was to spurn, then to cling to Jehane. At Rouen she did her best to crush the young girl to the pavement with her intolerable flat-lidded eyes.
Thou knowest that my last hope is here, that all the strength left me this night will die down, like the lamps in the circle, unless the elixir restore it. Bold friend, spurn that sorceress away. Hours yet ere those flames can assail us! A few minutes more, and life to your Lilian and me!"

The Rajah, it would appear, frowns interrogatively, in the princely fashion, accusing him of obscureness of speech: princes and the louder members of the grey public are fraternally instant to spurn at the whip of that which they do not immediately comprehend.
Oh, cursed be that ancient Counsellor thou wottest of, and cursed be I who wakened That which slept, and warmed That which was a-cold in my breath and in my breast! And cursed be this sin to which he led me! Spurn me, Rei; strike me on the cheek, spit upon me, on Meriamun, the Royal harlot who sells herself to win a crown.
