The ladies were ever trying to make him more comfortable, sending him of their scanty fare more than they could well spare. He always tried to prevent them, and when he could do so without hurting their feelings he would turn over to the hospitals the dainties sent him much to the disgust of his mess-steward, Bryan.
"Doctor Dick rigged your ankle up all nice and comfy without your being any the wiser." "Fainted like a girl over a broken ankle, my hat!" with immense scorn. Sara was hard put to it not to laugh outright at his face of disgust. "You might remember that you're not strong yet," she suggested soothingly.
Dissatisfaction, discontent, disgust, discouragement, hidden or open, are part of the factors of the disease. Furthermore there is an increasing sensitiveness of woman to the disagreeable phases of housework. What are these phases that are attended with difficulty? 1. The status of the house work.
To her intense disgust her nerves played her false. She gave the oddest little stifled squeak as she met Charles Verity's glance, fixed upon her in cool, slightly ironic scrutiny. Some persons very sensibly bring their mental atmosphere along with them. You are compelled to breathe it whether you like or not.
At certain times the falsity of his position filled him with disgust for his useless heroism; and he asked himself if it were not cowardly and dangerous to leave the masses in superstition.

Possibly passion, smouldering at the heart of duty, urged him towards the desperate experiment. But if so, he would not admit it, even to himself.

In that last deed of his life, the old man was sublime.
There could be no doubt, from her wriggling aspect of guilt, that she knew she was doing wrong. Worse, she had taken sneaky advantage of his absence in order to spring at the eagle. And disgust warred with the Master's normal indignation. Speaking as quietly as he could bring himself to speak, he told Lady what she had done and what a rotten thing it had been.
His former attitude toward herself, which had filled her with contempt and disgust, had vanished utterly, and, in its place, was a fatherly kindness that had now no nearer object upon which to lavish itself. As for the household, what little discipline had once pertained, was gone. The slaves were no longer punished, and, slavelike, they presumed upon their master's gentleness or indifference.
