"They ought to have been in barracks; and they may excuse themselves by saying that I was treating them at a public-house." "Yes, sir, it will be awkward," said Dick, who felt annoyed and yet amused. "It will look so ungentlemanly. You see, they were both men belonging to my company. Whatever shall I do?" "Nothing, I should say, sir. I don't see what you can do."
Whereupon our landlord, a man utterly without ideals, seized our furniture, offering to sell it back to us for fifteen pounds. We pointed out to him that this was an extravagant price, and tendered him five. The negotiations terminated with ungentlemanly language on his part, and "The Stormy Petrels" scattered, never to be foregathered together again above the troubled waters of humanity.
If he were found doing that, he would be expelled from any club in London." "May he tell lies, then?" "Certainly not! It is a very ungentlemanly thing to tell lies." "Then, if a man tells a lie, he is not a gentleman?" "I do not say that; I say that to tell lies is ungentlemanly?" "Does that mean that he may tell some lies, and yet be a gentleman?" Lady Ann was afraid to go on.
He had a fresh, pleasant, shrewd-looking face, and spoke with a decided northern accent, which had somewhat of a metallic ring. Some of his brother Members of Parliament thought his "obstruction" methods highly ungentlemanly, but he believed in fighting England with her own weapons.
Ungentlemanly remarks are said to have passed between them, when the boss bull-whacker threw down the gauntlet and galloped back to his train.

No wonder, he told himself, that he had instinctively shrunk from looking into the faces of the people whom he had met and had fled to the privacy of his rooms.
Duchesne has promised to give me a lift on my way in his buggy when he goes." There was a slight touch of consciousness in his voice in spite of its sadness, which struck the young girl as a weak and even ungentlemanly note in his otherwise self-abnegating and undemonstrative attitude.
