For twenty-four hours the issue remained uncertain. Letters continued to pour in; Mariette applied the plain-spoken, half-scornful arguments natural to a man holding a purely spiritual standard of life; and Elizabeth pleaded more by look and manner than by words. Anderson held out as long as he could.
"I dare say you would, you are one of the doing sort, but what?" "Why, elevate your own servants, for a specimen," said Alfred, with a half-scornful smile. "You might as well set Mount AEtna on them flat, and tell them to stand up under it, as tell me to elevate my servants under all the superincumbent mass of society upon them. One man can do nothing, against the whole action of a community.
"I know there was a little girl whom her father called Vixen, who used to ride after the hounds, and roam about the Forest on her pony; and who was herself almost as wild as the Forest ponies. But I can't associate her with this present me," concluded Violet, pointing to herself with a half-scornful gesture.
I should like to get away to Montpellier or Nice as soon as we can. Her ladyship gave him a scathing look, half-scornful, half-incredulous.

I had an only child; she was the joy of my heart.
Baby looked up with stormy eyes. "Go away, Aldiff," she said. "Miss MacCarthy, Baby, dear," Meg suggested, gently, catching Aldith's half-scornful smile. "ALDIFF," repeated Baby obstinately. Then she relented, and put one caressing little arm round her sister's neck. "I will say Miff MacCarfy iss you will say ze uzzer little pig, too."
It was a moment of intense anxiety to our poor wanderers, whose terrors were more excited on behalf of the young Mohawk than for themselves, and they congratulated her on her escape with affectionate warmth. "Are my white brothers afraid to die?" was the young squaw's half-scornful reply. "Indiana is the daughter of a brave; she fears not to die."
Mirrors were not allowed in the convent, but a bright new tin plate had showed her her emaciated face with the broad scar on the forehead, the sunken eyes, and the whole narrow head, where the hair, which grew out again very slowly, was just an ugly length. Now the sight of the bony hand which grasped the cane brought a half-sorrowful, half-scornful, smile to her lips.
It was not his doing in any true sense. I am not such a weak shuttlecock as that! But being where I was before our intimacy began, his influence hastened everything. I don't wish to minimise it. I was not made to stand alone! And again that bitter, perplexed, half-scornful sense of his own pliancy at the hands of circumstance as compared with the rigidity of other men descended upon him.
"Head you! No!" "Will you betray us?" "It is not easy to betray twenty thousand men; if ye rise merely to free yourselves from a corn-tax and England from the Woodvilles, I see no treason in your revolt." "I understand you, Lord Montagu," said Robin, with a stern and half-scornful smile, "you are not above thriving by our danger; but we need now no lord and baron, we will suffice for ourselves.
