"Would you be very vexed to lend this pillow to your husband? Come, are you going to refuse me a little bit of room? I am not troublesome, I can assure you." I thought I noted a smile on her lips, and, impatient to escape from my delicate position, in a moment I rose, and, while continuing to converse, hastelessly and noiselessly undressed. I was burning my ships.

Nanny Dawson has fallen sick, and there's none as I should like to have bridesmaid in her place as well as you." "To-morrow! Oh, I cannot! indeed I cannot!" "Why not?" Libbie did not answer, and Anne Dixon grew impatient. "Surely, in the name o' goodness, you're never going to baulk yourself of a day's pleasure for the sake of yon little cripple that's dead and gone!"

When she became ill her subconscious resistance came to the surface. She surprised herself by growing impatient with her husband. He, of course; retorted.

Your fresh, young, Western eyes are just what I need." This was false, for he was impatient of all criticism. "I need comfort," he added, wearily smiling. "I didn't sell enough in the West to pay my railway fare." He seemed ill as well as sad, and Bertha felt sorry for him. "Won't you come with us for a ride?"
