There was a very scurrilous article in one of the Charleston (S.C.) papers. I have not been able to get it. I am informed that after commenting on my graduation, assignment, etc., it indulged in much speculation as to my future. It told how I would live, be treated, etc., how I would marry, beget "little Flippers," and rear them up to "don the army blue," and even went far enough to predict their career. It was a dirty piece of literature, and I am not very sorry I couldn't obtain it.英文原著 · 《Henry Ossian Flipper》

If it is true that you design to attack me again [with your LA-BEAUMELLE doggeries and scurrilous discussions], I declare to you that I have still health enough to find you wherever you are, and to take the most signal vengeance on you (VENGEANCE LA PLUS ECLATANTE). Thank the respect and the obedience which have hitherto restrained my arm, and saved you from the worst adventure you have ever yet had. MAUPERTUIS."英文原著 · 《History of Friedrich II of Prussia V 16》

Nowadays atheism can be civil, can be generous; it is orthodoxy that trails a scurrilous fringe.英文原著 · 《Soul of a Bishop》
"Nay," interrupted the Friar, "I bid thee speak not so scurrilously neither,

" 'I have come to see you to relieve my mind. I am very, very much troubled. Some scurrilous fellow has drawn an absurd caricature of me and another person, in whom we are both deeply interested. I regard it as a duty to assure you that I have had no hand in it. I have given no sort of ground for such ridicule -- on the contrary, I have always behaved in every way like a gentleman.'英文原著 · 《The Wife and Other Stories》
