It's Violet. She is behaving abominably.
The look of thankfulness she gave her amply repaid her. A moment later Miss Rosamond flounced out of the room. The door had scarcely closed after her ere Jessie Bain's strength gave way entirely, and she sank to the floor in a swoon.

I'm leading your pure white shriveled peanut of a soul into temptation!... Don't you ever dare speak to me again! Oh, you you " She flounced away. Carl caught her, in two steps.

"Shoo, there," commanded Mrs. Davis, poking her flounced, changeable-silk parasol at him.
"And I suppose you could not help letting him into the house and taking him into your bed?" said Lucy scornfully. "No, I couldn't," said Hetty. "And you can go and tell Mr. Enderby as soon as you please." At this Lucy flounced out of the room quite determined to complain of the enormity of Hetty's conduct.
"I was angry, and didn't want to own that I was wrong; so I insisted that it wasn't a real island, without people on it. 'Wait a little longer, answered the polypes; and went on, building broader and broader foundations. I flounced away in a rage, and didn't go back for a great while.
