"And am so prejudiced that I do not mean he shall ever interfere in my affairs again." "Oh, Clinton!" she cried, "I do not see how you can speak so to me." "Now, mother dear," I said, "I do not mean to be unfilial to you, or ungrateful for your kindness. But Paul Downes tried to stab me last night " "Oh!" she cried, and shrank and trembled.
I'll marry Absalom if you go on with this!" "That suits me!" cried Absalom. "Keep on with it, Jake!" "If you do, I'll marry him to-morrow!" There was a look in Tillie's eyes and a ring in her voice that her father had learned to know. Tillie would do what she said. And here was Absalom "siding along with her" in her unfilial defiance! Jacob Getz wavered.
As to Duke Adolf, he was condemned by this tribunal of his peers to life imprisonment as punishment for his unfilial and unjustifiable cruelty towards Arnold, late Duke of Guelders.
The one notable event of this "slight day" was occasioned by a remark of Charles Townshend, who asked with some asperity whether "these American children, planted by our care, nourished up by our indulgence to a degree of strength and opulence, and protected by our arms," would now be so unfilial as to "grudge to contribute their mite to relieve us from the heavy burden under which we lie?"
As if willing to outdo her sister in unfilial behaviour, she declared that she thought fifty knights too many to wait upon him: that five-and-twenty were enough.

Eugene, his features illumined by enthusiasm and radiant with hope, covered his mother's hand with kisses, and again besought her forgiveness for his unfilial behavior in the gallery. "Dear mother," said he, tearfully. "are you indeed reconciled to your unworthy child?" "Yes, Eugene, yes. When you compelled that unwilling multitude to do me homage, I forgave you from my heart.
I hope it is not unfilial to say that I think he was wrong in that point of view, but I am not sure I go so far as to approve of aeroplanes, though they may be a military necessity. If the Almighty had meant us to fly he would have provided us with wings. Since He did not it is plain He meant us to stick to the solid earth. At any rate, you will never see me, Mrs.
