He was sorry for Angela at moments. Then, because of her insistence on his presence with her on her being in his company, "following him around" as he put it, he hated her.

Think, at this moment he might be with Frieda walking in the sun somewhere, rowing on the lake at Alexandria, holding her in his arms.
What difference did it make to me whether Hugh Mountjoy ended in living or dying? Well! I declare positively that the alarming news from London spoilt my breakfast. While I was reading about his illness, I found myself hoping that he would recover and, I give you my sacred word of honour, I hated him all the time. My Irish friend is mad you will say.
"No," replied the owner of the letter, "and that seems such hard luck. He had given up shooting altogether a year or two ago. He never really enjoyed it, because he so loved the beauty of life and hated death in every form. He has a lovely place in the North, and was up there painting.

But, in fact, the experiment was made under every disadvantage. The King, very naturally, hated the constitution.
Therefore I forgive you freely a deed for which at one time I confess that I hated you, and which spurred me to bear you off when I found you under my hand that night at Arwenack when I went for Lionel." "You mean that it was no part of your intent to have done so?" she asked him. "To carry you off together with him?" he asked. "I swear to God I had not premeditated that.
"And now for No. 1," said she whom I so absolutely hated; "I think there is still enough for a pair of slippers. There's nothing so nice for the house as good black cloth slippers that are warm to the feet and don't show the dirt." And so saying, she spread out on the floor the lacerated remainders.
They appeared to regard this tame bird that dwelt with man as a kind of renegade, and hated him accordingly. Before he had been long at the estancia it began to be noticed that he followed the broods of young chickens about very assiduously, apparently taking great interest in their welfare, and even trying to entice them to follow him.
