Some wild words, susceptible of a double meaning, were used about the way in which she had jilted one lover, and the way in which another lover would punish her for her coquetry. On no better grounds than these her relations imagined that Spencer Cowper had, with the assistance of these three retainers of the law, strangled her, and thrown her corpse into the water.
"You see, March, when I first came to this part o' the world I fell in with a comrade a trapper much to my likin'. This trapper had been jilted by some girl, and came away in a passion, detarminin' never more to return to his native place. I never know'd where he come from, nor the partic'lars of his story, for that was a pint he'd never speak on. I don't believe I ever know'd his right name.
Belk, the Justice of the Peace little pink and flaxen gentleman, carrying himself with an air of pompous levity eyes slewing round as you passed; and Mrs. Belk hard, tight rotundity, little iron-grey eyes twinkling busily in a snub face, putty-skinned with a bilious gleam; curious eyes, busy eyes saying, "I'd like to know what she did to be jilted."
The interest and curiosity of the village centred around Spencer Morgan, and his case was well discussed. Gossip said that the actress had jilted him and that he was breaking his heart about it.

It believed that Elizabeth had been jilted, for it knew, via Annie and the Oglethorpe's laundress, that no letters came from Dick. And against Dick its indignation was directed, in a hot flame of mainly feminine anger. But it sensed a mystery, too, and if it hated a jilt it loved a mystery.
Penelope exclaimed, and her voice changed to one of sympathy. "I am sorry, David. I see now what you meant by the Sudan." "Didn't you know that Gladys Todd had jilted me years ago?" I asked. "Why, no," she answered. "How should I? You never told me." "I was on my way to tell you one day," said I. "And then " I stopped. Remembering why I had not told Penelope, I deemed it wiser to be evasive.
I loved him like a son; and now, now they Will say that he has jilted her, jilted Marcia, and you know, Robert, a girl never recovers from that sort of thing. "And then, Lydia Ames, horrid thing, said, oh, how can I tell it, that she was anxious to present Ydo, Ydo Carrothers, forsooth, with a set of butterflies as beautiful as Marcia's. Oh, Mr.
"Ay," said he to himself, "I WILL remember you, you heartless jilt, and the man you have jilted me for. Staines is his d d name, is it?" He drove back crestfallen, bitter, and, for once in his life, heart-sick, and drew up at his lodgings. Here he found attendants waiting to receive him.
