Grotius delivered his speech in the Dutch language; it was afterwards translated into Latin; all, who heard, admired it; but it produced no effect on them. The deputies were uncivilly dismissed; and the oration of Grotius, by an order of the States General, was suppressed. He was much affected by the bad success of his mission: he was seized with a fever, which nearly proved fatal to him.
The boatman now came demanding two reals for conveying me on shore. I had no small money, and offered him a dollar to change. He said that it was impossible. I asked him what was to be done; whereupon he replied uncivilly that he knew not, but could not lose time, and expected to be paid instantly. The young Spaniard, observing my embarrassment, took out two reals and paid the fellow.
And for the former, he so performs it as in a manner solemnly to forbid us to use or heed such speeches as those he mentions, as being foolish and wicked. For example, being to tell us how uncivilly Agamemnon treated the priest, he premises these words of his own, intimating the insolency and unbecomingness of his answer. And when he attributes this passionate speech to Achilles,
"What does all this mean?" he inquires not uncivilly. "They have been beating a man," the woman from Riazan replies. As she does so she looks comely in spite of her wrath. The Cossack glances at her then smiles. "And where is the party going to sleep?" he inquires of the crowd. "Here," someone ventures. "Then you must not someone might break into the church.
"In council one must speak plainly," replied Dessalines. "I hope Monsieur Pascal agrees with me; for doubtless certain affairs of the whites will be in question, with regard to which they may be uncivilly spoken of. You all know that, in my opinion, they ought every one to have been done with some time ago. As that was not effected, the next best, policy is to let them die out.
My sister Rosalie had once taken me to him in order to hear his opinion about me. He did not treat me uncivilly, but my visit led to nothing. I was also present at the first night of his opera Des Falkner's Braut, which however was not a success. Then he went to Hanover.
Herewith the German bowed, not uncivilly, on the contrary, somewhat ceremoniously, and disappeared with a Prussian Secretary of Embassy, whose arm he linked in his own, into a room less frequented. "Vicomte, who and what is your German count?" asked Vane. "A solemn pedant," answered the lively Vicomte, "a German count, que voulez-vous de plus?"
"Of course," replied I uncivilly. Did he think he would visit Doe and I wouldn't I who had known him ten years? The man was presuming on his six-months' acquaintance with my friend. "Well, come down to the dump, and we'll find you a horse." "How is he?" asked I, not choosing to be told what to do. "Bad. Come along. There's no time to lose."
"Nonsense!" I said, rather uncivilly, I fear. "You surely do not believe such things?" "Certainly not: I have seen them too often." "But I do," said a journalist of considerable local fame as a picturesque reporter. "I have so frequently related them that nothing but observation could shake my conviction. Why, gentlemen, I have my own word for it."
A writer in the Daily News of October 19, 1872, speaks of having seen parrots which spoke Rommany among the Gipsies of Epping Forest. A Gipsy dog is, if we study him, a true character. Approach a camp: a black hound, with sleepy eyes, lies by a tent; he does not bark at you or act uncivilly, for that forms no part of his master's life or plans, but wherever you go those eyes are fixed on you.
