It was from this incident that he received the name of Dull Knife, which was handed down to his descendant. As is well known, the Northern Cheyennes uncompromisingly supported the Sioux in their desperate defense of the Black Hills and Big Horn country. Why not? It was their last buffalo region their subsistence. It was what our wheat fields are to a civilized nation.
Her mother could not have improved the occasion more uncompromisingly than Sophia did behind that disdainful mask. "Well if that's it ...!" Gerald exploded at length, puffing. And he puffed out of the room and was gone in a second. She languidly picked up a book, the moment Gerald had departed, and tried to prove to herself that she was sufficiently in command of her nerves to read.
I remember distinctly the dreary November rainstorm of the morning I reproachfully accused Mother of wanting to make me back into a stupid little Mary, just because she so uncompromisingly disapproved of the beaded chains and bangles and jeweled combs and spangled party dresses that "every girl in school" was wearing. Why, the idea! Did she want me to dress like a little frump of a country girl?
Cousin Hetty nodded dry, though not uncordial greetings to the strangers and said crisply, "You're welcome enough to sit around anywhere you can find, and eat your lunch here, but where you're going to find anything to show off, beats me." "Mr. Welles is interested in gardens and wants to look at yours." "Not much to look at," said the old lady uncompromisingly.
After some discussion as to the policy of the paper in respect to the strike, which was on the point of settlement by compromise, Marrineal set his delicate fingers point to point and said: "I want to talk to you about the future."

Of the permanent residents only the Duchess, always of High Church leanings, had of late yielded to his blandishments. She was fairly hooked. Madame Steynlin, a lady of Dutch extraction whose hats were proverbial, was uncompromisingly Lutheran. The men were past redemption, all save the Commissioner who, however, was under bad influences and an incurable wobbler, anyhow.
Behind him, on a table, she saw his violin-case unopened, and her heart gave a glad hope. He had not been working. He had been, she hoped, unable to work. "May I come in, Victor?" she asked. Still he did not move. "Why?" he asked uncompromisingly. "Because I have things to tell you. Don't be afraid. I am not going to make a scene " He drew aside, and she went in and closed the door.
Besides it only appeals to certain senses, and does not give one that 'hair-curling' thrill which makes life tolerable. Consequently the wily pasteboard is brought forth and we live again." "Stuff," remarked Mrs. Abbot, uncompromisingly. "Bill, you make me laugh," exclaimed Jacky, smiling up into his face. "Your arguments are so characteristic of you.
Every little unpainted workshop or mill shewed uncompromisingly all its forbidding sharpness of angle and outline darkening against the twilight. In better days perhaps some friendly tree had hung over it, shielding part of its faults and redeeming the rest. Now nothing but the gaunt skeleton of a friend stood there, doubtless to bud forth again as fairly as ever should the season smile.
In January, 1848, he made a telling speech in support of the "Spot Resolutions," in which his antagonism to the course of the Administration in regard to the war on Mexico was uncompromisingly announced. These resolutions were offered for the purpose of getting from President Polk a statement of facts regarding the beginning of the war.
