So here is a man facing death at night for a friend whose very name he pretended not to know in the morning!
Lovell, explaining that the parcel contained those jewels, his precious gifts of what she had insultingly chosen to call "esteem" for her.
That was because he wanted to be able to pay the hotel-manager and insultingly inform him that they were going to leave.... The manager bore up under the blow.... They did move to a "furnished housekeeping-room" on West Nineteenth Street in the very district of gray rooms and pathetic landladies where Una had sought a boarding-house after the death of her mother.
"Dewey, Sampson & Schley!" jeered Don Melville, in a low tone, yet loud enough to be heard by Jack's party. Yet the boys paid no heed, but would have passed in silence, had not Don added, insultingly: "The three little muckers!" That was too much for Eph. He couldn't help turning, the flush mounting to his cheeks, to retort: "Speak for yourself!" Don took a step forward.
"And, if you do not pay me twenty-five thousand pounds, that letter goes to the inspector at Wanbury." "It can go now," she declared dauntlessly.

At any rate he had been unworthy of his own ideals when he, assuming without question that she was the usual capitalistic snob with the itch for gratifying vanity by patronizing the "poor dear lower classes," had been almost insultingly curt and mocking. "What was the matter with me?" he asked himself. "I never acted in that way before."
"I found that still addicted, though, I believed, not so madly as before, to the old amusements he was in the neighbourhood of Newmarket, awaiting the races shortly to ensue. No sooner did I find his address than I wrote him another challenge, still more forcibly and insultingly worded than the one you took.
"I'm goin' to make yuh crawl on yore hands and knees, Cotton-picker!" He holstered his gun, watching Kid Wolf cunningly, and drew back a little to give himself leeway with his whip. Then he began to roll up his sleeve. "I'll make yuh beg, Cotton-picker," he taunted insultingly, as he bared his brawny right arm. "And if yuh run, I'll shoot not to kill; that'd be too easy.
"Oh, yes!" and still more abruptly he said, "Ain't you the youngest? Yes! I thought so! I remember you when you were a wee thing, so high," placing his hand at a most insultingly short distance from the floor. "Really I must ask your name," I said.
