"It does it for thousands of men every day." But Billy shook his head and backed away. "You shave three times a week," she urged. "That's forty-five cents. Call it half a dollar, and there are fifty-two weeks in the year. Twenty-six dollars a year just for shaving. Come on, dear, and try it. Lots of men swear by it." He shook his head mutinously, and the cloudy deeps of his eyes grew more cloudy.
These islanders were all cannibals when first discovered by Europeans, intellectually inferior to other savages, ignorant of agricultural and mechanical arts, going entirely naked, and living more like brutes than human beings. Slowly and mutinously have their barbarous customs been relinquished, even by those brought into occasional contact with foreigners, while those in the interior are savage as the monsters that prowl about them in dens and holes of the earth. Even such as mingle most freely with the colonists can seldom be prevailed on to practice permanently the arts of civilized life, usually preferring their original habits and pursuits to the restraints of society. They readily admit the superiority of foreigners, but cling tenaciously to their forest homes and rude lives of unfettered freedom. In character they are cruel and vindictive, improvident and thievish; and they seem almost devoid of gallantry in the treatment of their women, wooing their wives with blows, and often inflicting death upon women and children for the slightest offences. Yet they have some ideas of a Supreme Being and a future state, they practice a sort of religious worship, and they bury or burn their dead. They call their chiefs be-
Now keep quiet. We'll be there soon." "Ah ain't a-goin'," he declared mutinously. "Don't be silly," Ricky scolded him; "we're taking you. Does Val have to come and hold you down?" "Ah can't!" His eyes flickered from Val's face to hers. There was something more than independence behind that firm refusal. "Ah ain't a-goin' theah." "Why not?" He seemed to shrink from her.
Hooper looked at his wife with some embarrassment. "I want you to have anything you wish for in reason my dear Connie; but your aunt is rather exercised about the proprieties." The small dried-up woman behind the tea-urn said sharply: "A girl can't ride alone in Oxford she'd be talked about at once!" Lady Connie flushed mutinously. "I could take a groom, Aunt Ellen!"
The gypsy looked at him defiantly. "This is my place," she said, "for I have found my friend, and I think she needs my friendship." Gonzague spoke, imperiously: "Retire, Mademoiselle de Nevers!" The gypsy girl gave him no answer, but held her ground mutinously. Gabrielle moved a little away from her friend's side. She asserted her right firmly. "I am Gabrielle de Nevers."
At the same time the horizon appeared to close in perceptibly; what little definition it had had in earlier hours was erased; and the Sybarite, shearing the oily and lifeless waters of a dead calm, seemed less to make progress than to struggle sullenly in a pool of quicksilver at the bottom of a slowly revolving sphere of clouded glass, mutinously aware that all her labouring wrought no sort of gain.
They expand their chests and whoop. And a girl, even the mildest and sweetest of girls even a girl like Aline Peters cannot help resenting the note of triumph. But supermen despise tact. As far as one can gather, that is the chief difference between them and the ordinary man. A little frown appeared on Aline's forehead and she set her mouth mutinously.
I'll come over after I'm through work to-morrow and help her get things looking a little more like living." "You'll do nothing of the sort." Jean looked at him mutinously. "I'm all right just as I am. I won't have her, Lite. That's settled." "Sure, it's settled," Lite agreed, with more than his usual pertinacity. "I'll have her out here by noon, and a supply of real grub.
"Oh, not so bad," Lane protested. "You are just a little pinched. You'll be fitter than ever when it's over!" The man doesn't care, she thought mutinously. It seems to him the proper thing, what woman is made for. Isabelle was conscious that she was made for much more, for her own joy and her own activity, and she hated to part with even a little of it! He could not understand her attitude.
The corners of Miss Gordon's mouth twitched mutinously, but she contrived to throw much innocent surprise and questioning into the handsome brown eyes, which she lifted from her gold-hearted pansies, to her Aunt's face. "Could you possibly associate mercenary motives with any step which he might take? Such a supposition would be totally incompatible with my estimate of his character."
