"He jilted! but again I beg pardon go on." "Nae doubt sine dubio, as a body may say the lassie had a right to change her mind; and if she thought proper to prefer you to him, I canna see what law, human or divine" "Does the puppy actually try to excuse himself on so base a calumny as that Marion preferred me?
She walked with a certain quiet dignity characteristic of her but with care and very slowly because because Gerty MacDowell was... Tight boots? No. She's lame! Mr Bloom watched her as she limped away. Poor girl! That's why she's left on the shelf and the others did a sprint. Thought something was wrong by the cut of her jib. Jilted beauty. A defect is ten times worse in a woman.
"It's very hard to know; very. I don't much admire such jilts myself, but " "Miss Waddington did not jilt him, madam." "Then he jilted her. That's just what I want to come at. I'm very much obliged to you, my dear. I see you can tell me all about it. It was about money, wasn't it?" "No," shouted Adela, with an energy that quite surprised herself. "Money had nothing to do with it."
"I can understand that he should have told it you." "He did not think of loving me then. Well; he told me his story, but I kept mine to myself." "That was natural, then." "But, when he came to me with the other story and asked me to love him, was I to give him back his own tale and tell him the same thing of myself? I too have had a lover, and I have jilted him, if you please to call it so.
They drove out one sunny afternoon and remained to tea. Horace wore an apologetic air, as though he felt guilty of having jilted Elizabeth, and Estella's manner was of the same quality, with a dash of triumph. On her way upstairs to remove her wraps, Estella explained in an ecstatic whisper that they were really and truly engaged, and didn't Beth think she had the loveliest diamond ring ever?
I am told that she married an old man who is now dead, and I suppose she wants a young husband." "My dear!" "If I were you, Cissy, I would say as little as might be about her. She was an old friend of Harry's " "She jilted him when he was quite a boy; I know that long before he had seen our Florence." "And she is connected with him through his cousin. Let her be ever so bad, I should drop that."
"Yes, indeed," he assured her, tranquil as a lawyer arguing a commercial case before a logic-machine of a judge. "If you do not marry me all your friends will say I jilted you. I needn't tell you what it would mean in your set, what it would mean as to your matrimonial prospects, for you to have the reputation of having been turned down by me need I?"
"That's in one word what I must be sure of: for I am not a man that would choose to be jilted. Sit you down and pen me a farewell to that same foolish young fellow. I am a plain-spoken man, and now you have my mind."
To begin with, there was the club at Nice, where he fell in with several old comrades and friends. Then, whom should he meet but Lady Rawlins: once, for a little while in the distant past, they had been engaged; until suddenly the young lady, a beauty in her day, jilted him in favour of a wealthy banker of Hebraic origin.
This seems as if nothing were a security for matrimonial comfort. I have not so much to say for my friend Flora, who jilted a very nice young man in the Blues for the sake of that horrid Lord Stornaway, who has about as much sense, Fanny, as Mr. Rushworth, but much worse-looking, and with a blackguard character.
