It was not a time when the churlish are almost generous, having such overflowing pockets.
"Hodge and His Masters"
Richard Jefferies
He felt that it would have been churlish to refuse his good offices.
"The Son of his Father"
Ridgwell Cullum
Dear brother, I beg you not to let the present straits you labour under to narrow your mind, or render you morose or churlish, but rather resign yourself and all your affairs to Him who best knows what is fittest for you, and will never fail to provide for whoever sincerely trusts in Him.
"Hetty Wesley"
Sir Arthur Thomas Quiller-Couch
