Granger was a man who prided himself upon his strength of mind, and he had a very poor idea of the exclusive recluse whose early extravagances had made him master of Arden Court. He had not seen Mr.
Paul, who prided himself on his knowledge of feminine subtlety, was at fault; but who was he to appreciate the repressive influence of a practical-minded convent friend, quickly formative and loudly assertive of opinions, on an impressionable lady awakening to curiosities?
He looked at his master between his snarls as much as to say: "Well, this is great, to tree the real live son of the all-conquering man!" It maddened him, too, to see the supreme indifference with which the all-conqueror's son treated his presence. Jud grunted. He prided himself on his bird-lore. Finally he said: "Wal, any fool could tell you it's a wood-pecker's nest."
It was astonishing, he thought, with gaze fixed innocently on the black coals, that he should ever have done such things. He detested that kind of 'rot'; that jaunty theatrical pose so many men prided their jackdaw brains on. And he sat quite still, like a cat at a cranny, listening, as it were, for the faintest remotest stir that might hint at any return of this activity.
"Rough or smooth?" called Blake, tossing his racket in the air. "Rough," answered Cooper. "Smooth it is," the other declared, with a grin. "I'll take serve." Blake had a peculiar and difficult cut on which he prided himself in serving. It was seldom that anyone could touch it until after he had played with Blake for some time, and Cooper was no exception to the rule.

Being unmarried, he spent many of his evenings at Rhodopis' house, and had been told the secret of her granddaughter's betrothal.
"You can sail on Wednesday at two o'clock by the Cunarder," he said. "You can go to Newport to-day, and come back by the boat on Tuesday night, and be ready to start in the morning." Mr. Bellingham prided himself greatly on his faculty for making combinations of times and places. "How about those letters, Mr.
And," with a shrug, "I'd rather prided myself that when my mind was made up it stayed that way. But but, well, consarn it, I've about come to the conclusion that I was a pig-headed old fool, Al, in some ways." "Nonsense, Grandfather. You are the last man to " "Oh, I don't mean a candidate for the feeble-minded school.
This was nothing less than a half-crazy poetess, who prided herself on speaking in rhyme and such rhyme, amusing from its very badness. On she was going at a great rate, when she was called to order in a manner which admitted of no demur.
She left the room. I rose and, with my hands in my pockets, began to pace the floor. This was the tightest place I had ever been in. There had been a time, years before, when I prided myself on my knowledge of the stock market and its idiosyncrasies.
