demele

“She was earnestly religious, and I remember her telling me of a demele she had had with her confessor.”

What I Remember

“After his demele with the law of high treason in 1715, he had lived in retirement, conversing almost entirely with those of his own principles in the vicinage.”

Waverley — Volume 1

“The Lord Keeper traversed the chambers, held consultation with the butler in the cellars, and even ventured, at the risk of a demele with a cook of a spirit lofty enough to scorn the admonitions of Lady Ashton herself, to peep into the kitchen.”
