He sat there, the reins gathered in his hand, staring at her, his face stiffened in a reflex of the cold passion of hers.
Rube, pausing to prepare his pipe, saw, by the flickering light of the stable lantern, that his companion's face was ghastly pale. "Feelin' kind o' mean?" he suggested with gruff sympathy. "Meaner'n a yaller dawg." There was anxiety in the older man's deep-set eyes as he noted the flicker of a smile which accompanied the reply. "There ain't nothin' fresh?"
"Well, yes, but he's as good as dead, though. Ain't walked in three years. And Matty's man, Mose, told Matty, and Matty told me, he's meaner'n forty damn devils." "So you swear, too?" asked the father, breathing deeply. Virginia opened wide and wider two sparkling blue eyes. "Swear, sir?" she protested. "I didn't swear." "Pardon me," replied Singleton, laconically.
Them there eggs won't hardly hatch out this year, I don't reckon," and at the prospect Joe broke into a malicious guffaw. "I think to club it was meaner'n to shoot the poor thing," said Betty indignantly. "And, anyway, I wouldn't a-killed it on the nest. It's mean to treat an 'fectionate bird so."

"So you ain't heard of Diablo? Devil is the right name for him. Black as night and meaner'n a mountain lion. That's Diablo. He's big enough and strong enough to carry even you.

She went down into her silver bag and pulled out a roll of bills. "I've felt meaner'n a dog every time I've thought of you buying that parrot. I've got a different view of life maybe from yours; but I'm not taking candy from a baby." When the Probationer could speak Rose was taking herself and the purple into the elevator and waving her a farewell. "Good-bye!" she said.
"To-be-sure, I used to look at things just like you, and then I got more sense and learned a heap better, and I tell you right now that you'll do the same way.

But they ain't goin' to Heaven, be they?
His brother put rat poison in the family pancakes. Nice little trick that, wasn't it? They say it was by mistake. I hope it WAS a mistake. His wife is all rigged out in silk. Yez wouldn't think to look at her she was married in cotton and mighty thankful to get married in anything, it's my opinion. There's Timothy Patterson. He's the meanest man alive meaner'n Sam Kinnaird even.
"Why, Gabriella Trent! Me! Me! Don't say that, and make me feel meaner'n dirt. It's you, honey, is that " Mrs. Trent laughed as she answered: "We make a mutual admiration society, don't we? But Aunt Sally, you mustn't think of leaving Sobrante before the holidays are past. I can't spare you.
"An' Als'on can't pick cotton fas', nohow, kase he ain't use ter cotton neber see'd none till he come yere an' her know'd he'd git a cowhidin'. It's meaner'n boneset tea," said Edny Ann. "A heap meaner," assented Cat. "Sich puffawmance's wusser'n stealin' acawns frum a blin' hog."
