"A girl like that! as a domestic servant! Mother, it's a disgraceful shame!" "The disgrace is in the language you permit yourself to use to me. Your travels have made you rather boisterous and gauche.
He wondered if it was not disgraceful to sit and listen to such views without protesting and by reason of his silence letting others think that he shared them. Nejdanov looked at Mariana a second time, and her eyes seemed to say, "Wait a while... the time is not ripe. It isn't worth it... later on... there is plenty of time in store."
"Here you are," said Lalage, when I had finished tugging at the straps. "'Sneaking, Second Example. The Latest Move of Cattersby. Such a move! A disgrace to any properly run society, a further disgrace to the already disgraceful tactics of the Cat!
