I heard from Luttichau that, scared by the failure of Tannhauser, he was holding himself in readiness to countermand the order for the promised scenery for the Hall of Song, or to cancel it altogether. I was so terrified at the cowardice which was thus revealed, that I myself began to look upon Tannhauser as doomed.
She was still rather helpless, rather breathless and confused, like one who has suddenly been hurled into cold water. "If you fear that, madam, perhaps you had better countermand your order." "Is the girl to remain in Mondolfo against my wishes? Are you so... so lost to shame?" A returning note of warmth in her accents warned me that she was collecting herself to deal with the situation.
Mr Dorrit, on the altar of whose dignity all this was incense, made a gracious reply; and said that his people should ha countermand his horses, and he would hum overlook what he had at first supposed to be an affront, but now regarded as an honour.
Scarcely did an order go forth from one side to the rural districts, before it was followed by a countermand from the other. Troops, who were summoned, received on the way notice to return home. Unwilling to see himself frustrated at every point, Lavater retired, for a while, to Kyburg.
He seized from the fireplace the tongs, and would have broken the head of the minister had not Madame de Maintenon rushed between them. The king ordered a messenger immediately to be dispatched to countermand the order. He declared that if a single house were burned, the head of the minister should be the forfeit. The city was saved.

If matters were not as they are, you would not see me taking things so easy. The ladies indeed have had warning." Monsieur de Granville was startled.

The package containing the Rooper winter suit was heavy, and Asaph walked slowly.
"You will countermand them." "There is no time " "You can get into telephonic communication with Port Aviation in two minutes." "But the passengers have been promised " "You will disappoint them." "The start is to be made in the first flush of daylight. How could you reach Port Aviation in time?" "In your motor-car, monsieur." "It cannot be done." "It must!
The lieutenant governor expressed his extreme sorrow at the melancholy event which had occurred; and declared that he had taken measures to have the affair inquired into, and justice done. That the military were not under his command, but received their orders from the general at New York, which orders it was not in his power to countermand.
Were it of much consequence, it would not be easy to decide the cause of this strange and abrupt proceeding; but it was evident that the soldiery were resolved not to return home without spoils.
