caviler

I listen to the critics and the cavilers complain About the lack of sleepers and a bar car on this train.

The back-drawn effect of her chestnut tresses, which were still streaked here and there with sunny threads, could not be doubted as charming even by the most prejudiced caviler.

Reciprocal reproaches which people may make to each other with the same right: for example, you are a caviler, you are selfish, blind, dishonest, etc.

“Zarathustra”—Nietzsche's terrific assault upon the fortifications of our social structure—is too easily mistaken by facile cavilers for the ravings of an unsound and desperate mind.

These fair cavilers draw their inference from premises, from which I have always been accustomed to deduce a directly contrary conclusion.
