'Where is my scoundrel? said the Major, looking wrathfully round the room. The Native, who had no particular name, but answered to any vituperative epithet, presented himself instantly at the door and ventured to come no nearer. 'You villain! said the choleric Major, 'where's the breakfast?
The Squire declared that Redbud's cheeks were beginning to be tolerably red again; that she had been pretending sickness only and then, with a vituperative epithet addressed to Caesar, the old gentleman re-commenced reading. Redbud and Verty entered; and then the young man held out his hand. "Are you going?" said the girl. "Yes," he said, smiling, "unless you will sing me something.
He has never forgiven me for turning teacher." "Forgiven! Bless me, he is as spiteful as a Pequod!" "Begging your pardon, Dr. Asbury, he is no such thing!" cried Beulah impetuously. "Just what I might have expected. I am to understand, then, that you can abuse my partner sufficiently without any vituperative assistance from me?" He brushed the ashes from his cigar, and looked at her quizzically.
Vituperative power. A surprised chief. The famous Mizanza. Killing hyaenas. The Greeks and Romans of Africa. A critical moment. The "elephant's back." The wilderness of Ukimbu.

It was her last vituperative attempt, and perhaps for that reason was invested with a certain degree of sublimity. It did her good, she privately informed the Duchess. "Just you go out there and cuss, and see." She then set herself to the task of amusing "the child," as she and the Duchess were pleased to call Piney.
Elizabeth had refused the sovereignty: it then rested with the States. They only, therefore, were competent to confer the power which Elizabeth wished her favourite to exercise simply as her lieutenant-general. Her wrathful and vituperative language damaged her cause and that of the Netherlands more severely than can now be accurately estimated.
Behind them clattered a small guard of native police, without whom it would not be advisable to explore a frontier city; and on either hand stretched a narrowing vista of open shop fronts noisy with vituperative buyers and sellers; brilliant with piled vessels of brass and copper, with the rainbow tints of dyed silks and muslins, piles of parched corn and spices, oranges, bananas, and pomegranates; their upper storeys breaking out into quaintly carved windows and balconies, strange splashes of colour, or rough childish pictures, innocent of proportion.
