Mustn’t be nervous! ’Bus all right,” he answered in a brusque, slurring stammer partaking of the timorousness of a child and the resolution of a man. He advanced fearlessly with the woman on his arm, but his lower lip dropped.
She’d do anything for anybody in general, but when it’s a case of you individually she won’t do a thing to you, and you must heed my words and be forewarned and forearmed from now on. Mustn’t he, Betty?" At this the sister laughed, nodding quite as gayly as if it were a laughing matter, instead of the opening move in a possibly serious—tremendously serious—game of life.
They remained closed. With the dirty back of his whip-hand he rubbed the stubble sprouting on his enormous chin. “You mustn’t,” stammered out Stevie violently. “It hurts.” “Mustn’t whip,” queried the other in a thoughtful whisper, and immediately whipped. He did this, not because his soul was cruel and his heart evil, but because he had to earn his fare.
"Because," she added mischievously, "I don’t suppose that it’s on account of my cousin Maude that you rebel at the approach of Monday." "No," said Jack. "It may not be polite to say so to you, but I wasn’t in the least thinking of your cousin." "Poor girl!" said Mrs. Rosscott thoughtfully; "and she was so sweet to you, too. Mustn’t it be terrible to have a face like that?"

I laugh whenever I think of it!”
‘And yet you do hope, still, even for Mr. Huntingdon?’ ‘I do, I confess, “even” for him; for it seems as if life and hope must cease together. And is he so much worse, Milicent, than Mr. Hattersley?’ ‘Well, to give you my candid opinion, I think there is no comparison between them. But you mustn’t be offended, Helen, for you know I always speak my mind, and you may speak yours too.

Jack sighed and watched her close her eyes and go instantly to sleep. Janice came in a few minutes later. "No—no," she whispered hastily, as he came toward her,—"you mustn’t—you mustn’t. I don’t believe that she really is asleep and even if she is, Lucinda is everywhere." "Where can we go?" Jack asked in despair. "It’s out of all reason to expect me to behave all the time."
At that moment I attained the knowledge of who it was I had before me. This was the man of whom both Doña Rita and Rose were so much afraid.
