The three women who lived in the room were all standing with red, angry faces, each trying to outscold the others. Three or four little children, with frightened eyes, were huddled together in one corner, while a baby cried unheeded on the floor, its mother being too much occupied with the quarrel to pay any attention to her child.
I. T. (Ida Treadwell) Thurston - The Bishop's Shadow

Maria Edgeworth - Tales and Novels — Volume 02
