I assumed that it had been developed in the City, where Charlie was picking up the curious nasal drawl of the underbred City man. "When the thing's done we'll talk about it. I can't make anything of it at present. Red-haired or black-haired hero are equally difficult." He was sitting by the fire staring at the red coals. "I can't understand what you find so difficult.
'You know I could have you court-martialled and shot? 'Like enough, said Polson. Major de Blacquaire swung into the saddle. 'I don't care to take revenge that way, he said. 'I have known you always for an impudent and underbred young cub; but you go by way of pretending to be a gentleman, and I have my punishment in store for you.
They torment the poor horses and dogs dreadfully; and if the said horses were not the very quietest, meekest, most underbred and depressed animals in the world, we should certainly hear of more accidents. As it is, they confine their efforts to get rid of their tormentors to rubbing all the hair off their tails and sides in patches against the stable walls or the trunk of a tree.
"You accursed, underbred hound! Tell me what this means, or I'll strangle you." "You'll say I'm a fool," said Tom, "and I suppose it's true, and and " with a tremour in his voice, "I've no need to be particular about the names you call me. I ought to be used to them by this time." "Speak out," thundered the Judge, "and tell me the whole disgraceful truth!"

These gentle, inconsequential city waifs, the Grays, the failure, the library-woman, meant no more to Una than the crowds who were near, yet so detached, in the streets. But the remaining boarder annoyed her by his noisy whine. He was an underbred maverick, with sharp eyes of watery blue, a thin mustache, large teeth, and no chin worth noticing.
"Don't tell me he has developed into a crank," said Mrs. Derringham. "There's something so underbred about crankiness; and the Harwich family have always been essentially aristocrats." "I shouldn't think Armine was a crank, but I do think he is an idealist. He considers Watts's allegorical pictures the greatest things in Art that have been done since Botticelli enshrined Purity in paint.
Saul, now, was a man and a king, every inch of him, even in his dark hours. David had no breeding a pretty, florid man, with his curls and pink cheeks; one moment dancing and singing, and the next weeping on his bed.
