"I don't know nothin' about checks an' sometimes banks bust," she obdurately insisted.

But the Lady Mary turned obdurately the side of her face to her suppliant; only her fingers picked at her black dress.

Scones and tea-cakes and loaves with "kissing crust" remained obdurately huddled in the baker's cart at the Vicarage back door.
