"No, he doesn't. He treats me as a woman. If he thought I was a child he wouldn't have anything to worry about. I'm over nineteen." "You don't look it." "Of course I don't. But I could if I liked. I simply won't look it because I don't care to be made ridiculous. I should start to look my age at once if father stopped treating me like a child." "But you've just said he treats you as a woman!"
These Delis are now seen in Egypt for the first time; the viceroy treats them tenderly, and Courschid, who has money for no one else, has money for his Delis; and when he has none, he delivers over to their mercy some village in the vicinity of Cairo, out of which they pay themselves by pillage.
Thus one chapter in a book of his treats of non-resistance in exceptional cases, and he owns in this connection that if there were cases in which the rule of non-resistance were impossible of application, it would prove that the law was not universally authoritative. Quoting these cases, he shows that it is precisely in them that the application of the rule is both necessary and reasonable.
"It's a trophy," declared the foreman, "and so long as it ain't where it belongs, the Flying Heart is in disgrace." "Even the 'Leven X treats us scornful!" cried the smallest of the trio angrily. "We're a joke to the whole State." "I know just how these gentlemen must feel," declared Miss Blake, tactfully, at which Stover bowed with grateful awkwardness.

I am fond of making apologies for human nature, and I think I could find an excuse for myself if I, too, were dry and barren and muddy-witted and "cantankerous," disposed to get my back up, like those other natives of the soil. I know this, that the way Mother Earth treats a boy shapes out a kind of natural theology for him.
He is really, my dear, I am sorry to have occasion to say it, an ill-temper'd young man; and treats my mother sometimes Indeed he is not dutiful.
