You'll marry me next month, that I swear. Why " "No! when I love, I want to look up, and when I marry, I'll marry above me...." That checked his queer truculence; and Cally, desperate with the need to drive home her meaning, swept on with no more nervousness. "And don't you see?
Look in that young Portrait by Pesne, the full cheeks, and fine mouth capable of truculence withal, the brow not unused to knit itself, and the eyes flashing out in sharp diligent inspection, of a somewhat commanding nature. We can fancy the face very impressive upon Valori in these circumstances. He has been to Prag lately; is returning futile, as usual.
The other was becoming interested in spite of himself, and his truculence melted a bit, although his tone was still sneering. "All right, Master Mind, how'd you handle it, how would you?" "A gun or knife is all right on some jobs," Hanlon leaned closer and spoke in a semi-whisper, but earnestly.
When he was conscious of a "veiled truculence" in the Japanese diplomatic communications, the American battle fleet was ordered to make a cruise around the world, ostensibly for training, but really to show the world, and particularly the Asiatics, that the United States had ample means to enforce its rights in all waters and on every sea.
"Too infamous to have a friend, Too bad for bad men to commend Or good to name; beneath whose weight Earth groans; who hath been spared by fate Only to show on mercy's plan How far and long God bears with man" and this superb piece of truculence was received with applause by all that was upright and noble in England.

They saw no German faces on the streets, and the Irish faces had not that truculence which they wear sometimes with us.
He never smoked in public, as his taste inclined towards Irish twist and a short clay pipe; but he was addicted to the use of chewing-gum, and as he chewed and he chewed incessantly he revealed a perfect row of large, white, and positively savage-looking teeth. High cheek bones and prominent maxillary muscles enhanced the truculence indicated by his chin.
It was punctuated by the screams of women. The prisoners changed their attitude, and eyed Brown and the Rajput with an air of truculence again. "They'll be up this causeway in a minute, sahib! Listen. There! They've seen the dead bodies that you tossed over. Better it had been to keep them up here for a while." "Never mind! We can hold this causeway until morning! Men! Take close order.
He was unable to cast aside his outward truculence though it was but a relic. However, his voice was gentler, and Marjorie seemed satisfied. From the other rooms came the swinging music, shouts of "Gotcher bumpus!" sounds of stumbling, of scrambling, of running, of muffled concus signs and squeals of dismay.
