I will tell papa you pinched me, though you do pretend to be so sweet and gentle." Fanny felt both hurt and indignant and angry at this accusation.

"You have taken my doll, I know you have, and I do not believe you, even though you say that you have not," she exclaimed.
Louise, that sage portress, recognized the bold young cousin of the English belle des belles, and announced him to Mademoiselle Adelaide. After a parley Bessie was permitted to receive him, to go out with him, to be as happy as three days were long. Harry told her how and why he had come, and Bessie was furiously indignant at the Wileys pretending to any concern in her affairs.
"No, Stephen, I did not mean to call you selfish; but I can't understand why you are not as brave and patient about all hard things as you are about the one hardest thing of all." "Mercy, would you marry me now, if I asked you?" said Stephen. He did not realize the equivocal form of his question. An indignant look swept over Mercy's face for a moment, but only for a moment.

My informant says, Maria hardly spoke, except to beg some of the more indignant girls to be calm; but, in slow, trembling movements, with many a pause, she went down-stairs at last, and was punished for being late. Any one may fancy how such an event as this would rankle in Charlotte's mind.

Sally Carrol felt suddenly indignant as though she had been unjustly spanked but Harry evidently considered the subject closed, for he went on with a great surge of enthusiasm. "It's carnival time, you know. First in ten years.
Whereupon Hawkinson, who is no respecter of persons when the business of getting pictures is concerned, set up his camera within six feet of one of the cages and proceeded to take a "close-up" of the indignant but helpless occupant, who, unable to escape or even turn away, could only assume an indifference which she was evidently far from feeling.
