You'll show moderation, now, won't you?" "I'll care for him," answered Browne unbendingly. "Away with the canoe! Good-by, captain. My tobacco will be ready for you."
"I will come," he replied, looking unbendingly, with steely gray eyes, into her white passionless face, framed in its dark hood. She bowed her head further words were impossible and turned to the door. He watched her tugging in blind stupefaction at the strange bolt, but did not move to her assistance.
Paul, indeed, was not so much a butler as a sort of steward or, even, chamberlain; he dined privately, but with almost as much pomp as his master; he was feared by all the servants; and he consulted with the prince decorously, but somewhat unbendingly rather as if he were the prince's solicitor.

The little scene was characteristic of her unbendingly determined and obstinate when she thought she was wronged and unjustly treated, impulsively ready to ask pardon when she saw herself at fault.
