Evidently her dislike of men had no element of fear or of sentimental avoidance. "I cannot like them," she apologized, declining to set forth her reasons.

You say, "Only ten cents difference." But that is sometimes the difference between heaven and hell. Women often have less commiseration for women than men.

Excitement gave him unnatural strength that day, and he obeyed the summons, nerved to meet his fate. His honor received him alone, in the Chief's office. A look of friendly commiseration was on his face, and he took Chester's hand with a gentle pressure.
