Martin, carrying the dry clothes-basket, got treated, and drunk. This time he babbled her whole story. The girls got hold of it and gibed her at the fountain. All she had gone through was light to her, compared with the pins and bodkins her own sex drove into her heart, whenever she came near the merry crew with her pitcher, and that was every day.
On the contrary, while she was still ill in bed, and almost absolutely dependent on what he might choose to do for her, she gibed and flouted him past bearing, mainly, no doubt, for the sake of breaking the tedium of her confinement a little.
"It was very good in you to come home with me to-night. It is a great pleasure to me." "You 're ironical this evening, Miss Elliott," he replied, laughing, and the least bit nettled. It was bore enough doing the polite to a girl who had nothing on her mind without being gibed by her to boot. "I 'm not ironical," she answered. "I should make poor work at irony. I meant just what I said."
"He's that independent that he wouldn't take nothing from me but a pair of cuff links," declared Jane Ann, wiping her eyes, for she was a tender-hearted girl under her rough exterior. "Says they will do for him to remember me by. He's a nice chap." "Jinny's getting sentimental," gibed Tom, slily. "I'm not over you, Mister Tom!" she flared up instantly. "You're too 'advanced' a dresser."
Let it dawn on them later." "Righto, Gus. It's nobody's business but ours. But what do the bunch want?" Bill soon found out, however, when Cora and Ted came to meet him.

"'O wise, wise judge!" gibed Ted.
Frank remained silent, as the bathing women, with a methodic click of the mechanism, once more dropped down through the slit in the picture frame, and hid the red-lined bulletin board from view. "Gamblers, like us, always were weak on art," gibed MacNutt.
Worshipping power and force and money-mastery as an elderly nerve-ridden woman might worship youthful physical energy, the comfortable, plump-bodied cafe-oracle had jested and gibed at the ambitions of the Balkan kinglets and their peoples, had unloosed against them that battery of strange lip-sounds that a Viennese employs almost as an auxiliary language to express the thoughts when his thoughts are not complimentary.
"Oh, I'll manage to live on," she gibed. "I guess there are other men in the world besides you." "Don't make it too hard, Milly." "You're pitying me! Don't you dare pity me!" A sob rose, and burst from her. Then abruptly she seized command over herself. "What does it all matter?" she said. "Go away now and let me change my clothes." "Are they dry?" "I don't care whether they're dry or not.
"I never loved you," she answered, her words clear-cut, cold as steel. "I never loved you. Once, it is true, I fancied that you were such a man as I could have loved. But that passed. I did not know you in those days. I know you now." "And hate me for what you know?" he said. "No," she answered. "I do not even hate you." "What then?" he gibed. "You are sorry for me perhaps?" "No!"
"Yours seem to be worse, even, than poor Aunt Alvira's." "Nell believes that life is just one thing after another," chuckled Jennie Stone. "Having struck a streak of bad luck, it must keep up."
