He always called her Jane in company, unless he was excited. "I know what you are going to say. I won't have it." "I was only going to say " urged the sub-editor in tone of one suffering injustice. "I quite know what you were going to say," retorted Peter hotly. "I can see it by your chin. You are going to take their part and suggest their acting undutifully towards their parents."
He found the pair chatting pleasantly together in a corner of the deserted tea-room, and delivered his message. "Oh, bother!" cried Lord Lydstone undutifully. "What can mother want with me?" "You had better go to her," said the colonel, who was a little afraid of his cousin, the female head of the house. "I will take your place here that is to say, if mademoiselle will permit me."
This discovery was made while I was abroad visiting, and just as I was about to return home, I received a letter from my father, importing that, since I had acted so undutifully and meanly as to marry a beggar, without his privity or consent, to the disgrace of his family as well as the disappointment of his hopes, he renounced me to the miserable fate I had entailed upon myself, and charged me never to set foot within his doors again.
I My eldest Son John having spoken disrespectfully of his little Sister, whom I keep by me in Spirits of Wine, and in many other Instances behaved himself undutifully towards me, I do disinherit, and wholly cut off from any Part of this my Personal Estate, by giving him a single Cockle-Shell.
Determined as I was to struggle for the conquest of myself, I did not imagine in keeping that secret I was acting undutifully; but had I written to him, or cherished, as my weak fondness bade me do, his his why should I hide it his precious letter, my conscience would have added its pangs to the sufferings already mine.

Half way across the plain they met Beverley Fortescue, riding in search of them. He glanced at Anita, who blushed deeply, and at Broussard, who smiled openly, and the two young officers exchanged signals, which meant that the Colonel had been outgeneralled, out-footed and "stood on his head," as Beverley undutifully expressed it at the officers' club an hour later.
He went to the chamber of the Lords at Chichester House, sent for the Commons, reprimanded them in strong language, charged them with undutifully and ungratefully encroaching on the rights of the mother country, and put an end to the session. Those whom he had lectured withdrew full of resentment. The imputation which he had thrown on them was unjust.
Somewhat to his surprise, and much to his delight, Roderick Vawdrey escaped that maternal lecture which he was wont undutifully to describe as a "wigging." When he entered the drawing-room in full dress just about ten minutes before the first of the guests was announced, Lady Jane received him with a calm affectionateness, and asked him no questions about his disposal of the afternoon.
