He raved about her when he adjourned with his companions to the bar, and they chaffed him a good deal to his face and sneered at him behind his back. He was there the next night, and the night, after and by-and-by he managed to get introduced to her.

This tone of authority and his unasked-for interference irritated me as much as ever the language of my two adversaries had done. Hawkesbury was always getting the pull of me in ways like this. I retired sulkily to my seat, saying I would thrash any one who insulted Smith in my presence, at which the others sneered.
All human beings enjoy themselves from the outside, and so getting on a little has this good in it, you still keep in your old class where your feelings are, and are thoughtfully treated by this class: while by getting on too much you are sneered at by your new acquaintance, who don't know the skill of your rise, and you are parted from and forgot by the old ones who do.
Cutler, hoping still to be wagon-master, wrote to Lieutenant Balwin, hearing in reply that the reinforcements would not arrive for two months. The session of the court came in one, and Cutler was the Territory's only witness. He gave his name and age, and hesitated over his occupation. "Call it poker-dealer," sneered Toussaint's attorney. "I would, but I'm such a fool one," observed the witness.
"A party; eh?" he sneered. "I'm coming to it, I am; and I'm going to have two plates of ice cream." "You are not!" cried Freddie. "My mamma wouldn't let a boy like you come to our party." "'Specially not after what you did telling us to play in the water," added Freddie. "You can't come!" "Yes, I can," insisted Danny, just to tease the children.
She said nothing. "Well, is it a go?" he breathlessly demanded. "I don't know," said Bela slowly. Her voice gave nothing away. "I got get married if I can." "Who would marry you now?" cried Joe.

When Asmund next saw the mare and stroked her back, the hide came off beneath his hand. He taxed Grettir with the deed, but the boy sneered mockingly and said nothing. Keingala had to be killed. Such and many other scurvy tricks did Grettir play in his childhood, but meanwhile he grew in body and strength, though none as yet knew him to be strong beyond his years.
I'll go alone," sneered Horace. Flushing at the taunt of cowardice, Tom bit his lips that he might not say anything he should regret. "You ought to know, Horace, that neither Larry nor I are afraid," he responded. "I was only thinking about your mother. We promised her we would be back by to-morrow night. The idea of our going in pursuit of Megget by ourselves is foolish.
"You will be sorry, I think, some day for the way you have treated me," he exclaimed, showing temper; "and what you expect to gain by it I cannot imagine." "Oh, please," Beth protested, "I am not imbued with the commercial spirit of the churches. I do not expect a percentage in the way of reward on every simple duty I do." "Virtue is its own reward," he sneered.
And chances are, she's got a calf up in the barn. You see, a cow is always ugly when she thinks they're agoin' to steal her calf away, like they did lots of other times." "Oh! rats!" sneered the valiant Fritz, drawing his staff over with him, so as to get a purchase on the ground within the field, and ease his intended jump.
