"A fine excuse to avoid risking your life!"
Mme. Poussette left her chair and approached the lady of the Manor, but nothing more than a fleeting contemptuous glance did the latter bestow. At the sight of Henry and the cats all her courage returned and a measure of her temper.

"I've a great mind to ask papa to let me go to the George Smiths', and then I could see . I would not think him like mince-pies." "You must not do any such thing!" said Richard, now neither yawning nor contemptuous.
