Valerie cast an imploring look on the count, silently praying him to decline the invitation; but Volaski did not understand the meaning of the look, or did not care to do so, for he immediately accepted the invitation in the following unequivocal terms: "I have no engagement for to-morrow; and I shall be very happy to come and dine with you." "So be it then," said the duke, frankly.
Although we were manifestly indebted to this very circumstance for the benignity of our climate, the value of our possessions, the general healthfulness of our families-nay, for our separate existence itself, as an independent species, yet did these excited and ill-judging wretches absolutely wage war upon the most benevolent and the most unequivocal friend they had.
In no age of the world could an unequivocal agreement to assist rebellious subjects, with men and money, against their sovereign, be considered otherwise than as a hostile demonstration.
Your words and looks both doubt me Put me to the proof. Propose I say an adequate and worthy purpose, and let your test be such as nature shudders at; then despise me and my principles if I recoil.

"My good boy," said Jonas haughtily, "I don't carry a watch for your benefit." The gardener bit his lip, and surveyed the heir with unequivocal disgust. "Very well," he retorted; "I'll wait till a gentleman comes this way." A flush of anger was visible on the cheek of Jonas despite his freckles. "Do you mean to say I'm not a gentleman!" he demanded angrily. "You don't act like one," returned Dan.
His demonstrations of welcome over, we held a few minutes' conversation about the coming campaign, he taking strong ground against a part of the plan of operations adopted, namely, that which contemplated my joining General Sherman's army. His language was unequivocal and vehement, and when he was through talking, he conducted me to General Grant's quarters, but he himself did not enter.
