"Oh, gee!" this as he seized the stems, not being able to wait, he was so excited, and tried to draw the flowers from the box. "Oh, Cis, d'y' s'pose these 're from One-Eye? D'y' think maybe One-Eye is back? Oh, hurry!" "Wait!" speaking gently, yet with something of a high-and-mighty air. "Johnnie, you've got One-Eye on the brain." The cord untied, she slipped the cover off the box.
"I'll tell you what you did," the woman blazed out, standing so close to him now that he felt her fierce breath on his face. "Shortly before you left you were taken sick at the bank, or fainted, or something like it, and didn't even tell me about it. I read it in the paper. I was beneath your high-and-mighty notice dirt under your feet. But the next day you went driving with Irene Mitchell.
"That prig?" he roared, with a bull-like loudness and fury "That high-and-mighty piece of damned superior clerical wisdom? God bless my soul! There must be some mistake " "Yes surely!" murmured Miss Tabitha, feeling the clutch of a deadly spite and fear at her heart, for was not Walden HER clergyman?
"He means," explained Ojo, "that unless your servant has good brains she won't know how to obey you properly, nor do the things you ask her to do."

Many of the crowd were muttering. They resented this ostent of entry; the men more sullenly than the women, some of whom in their hearts could not help admiring its high-and-mighty insolence. The Collector, at any rate, had a crowd to receive him, for it was Saturday evening.

Men whose friendship I could not afford to dispense with even if I wished to which, I assure you, I do not won't stand for a high-and-mighty attitude in me. I am of the railroad grade, and proud of it, and I must continue to be a part of the rough-and-ready frontier life. Hiram, I suppose your ideas of womanhood are very hallowed.
Maybe he got nervous and his pencil slipped!" "Seems to me," returned Steve coldly, "he knows better than you do what the thing is worth. He's not exactly an idiot, you know." Tom stared in some surprise. "I didn't say he was an idiot, did I? Considering the things you've said about 'Horace' I don't think you need take that high-and-mighty tone!"
