He carried in his own breast an accusing voice which called him faithless and mean-spirited, and showed him Pilar as the victim of his treachery; and he had need of an advocate, seeing that he was himself unable to refute these accusations with any sort of confidence. He was to receive the support he longed for.
Ambrose finished the narrative with a broken voice indeed, but as one who had more self-command than his brother, perhaps than his uncle, whose exclamations became bitter and angry as he heard of the treatment the boys had experienced from their half-brother, who, as he said, he had always known as a currish mean-spirited churl, but scarce such as this.
This is a difficult piece." "I know Gounod's work pretty well, sir," said Dick, quietly. "Oh, do you!" said the bandmaster, with a little jerky laugh, like that of a spiteful woman. "Now, then; what's your name, sir?" "Smithson," said Dick, feeling as if he would like to kick the mean-spirited little cad. "Oh, Smithson, eh? son of the great Smith!"
For a long time, until Sylvia's individuality began to assert itself, the question of dress for the children was solved, with similar ease, by the typical Marshall expedient, most heartily resented by their faculty acquaintances, the mean-spirited expedient of getting along comfortably on inadequate means by not attempting to associate with people to whose society their brains and cultivation gave them the right that is to say, those families of La Chance whose incomes were from three to five times that of college professors.

Again he saw himself in a pitiful light, and this self-contempt reflected upon Sidwell.

Something like a regular stampede of men ambitious to call themselves undertakers, began to cross over from the larger to the smaller island.
The concern which Charon showed, drew tears from many; but all protested vehemently against his supposing any one of them so mean-spirited and base, at the appearance of approaching danger, as to suspect or blame him; and therefore, desired him not to involve his son, but to set him out of harm's way; that so he, perhaps, escaping the tyrant's power, might live to revenge the city and his friends.
