"Who has ill-used him, you girl?" said Steerforth. "Why, you have," returned Traddles. "What have I done?" said Steerforth. "What have you done?" retorted Traddles. "Hurt his feelings and lost him his situation." "His feelings!" repeated Steerforth, disdainfully. "His feelings will soon get the better of it, I'll be bound.

Is she to be distinguished from her wooer as she flits from him disdainfully? Can she not imitate his most audacious feats? Ah! but for how long may she restrain primal emotions?

He could not believe that she spoke the truth for he was unable to believe that any man could speak the truth but it was true she was poorly housed, raggedly dressed and hidden up in a corner. Nevertheless, these might be artifices. He made ostentatiously and disdainfully towards the door.
"It's pretty near dead," said the boy bringing his trophy. "I guess I squeezed it too hard. We might as well kill it." "No, no! that would be cruel; the poor little thing will soon be all right if you put it back on its tree. We'll go with you and help you put it up," replied Alice. "Come on, girls." "It ain't hardly worth the trouble," and the boy looked at the frog disdainfully.
"Stop, Gloria!" he cried. "I have come to take you back to my mansion, where we are to be married." She looked at him wonderingly a moment, then tossed her head disdainfully and walked on.
