The children ran wild all over the house; the English governess quarreled with the housekeeper, and wrote to a friend asking her to look out for a new situation for her; the man-cook had walked off the day before just at dinner time; the kitchen-maid, and the coachman had given warning.
Here was a difference about which two women would have mortally quarreled; and here were two men settling it in the friendliest possible manner. I wish you had seen Lady Lundie's face, when I declared myself deeply indebted to Captain Newenden for rendering any prolonged interview with her ladyship quite unnecessary.
I was a man bewitched. Again and again I say it I was a man bewitched! During the interval before my marriage, our little household at the cottage was broken up. My mother and my aunt quarreled. My mother, believing in the Dream, entreated me to break off my engagement. My aunt, believing in the cards, urged me to marry.
Two ragged boys quarreled over the Tom Thumb, but at length settled the controversy by one of them taking the head, the other satisfying himself with the legs below the knees. They evidently had Tom under their thumbs, and intended to keep him down.
"I found out by accident myself. I was at the bar and I saw her come in with a lot of others." "Why don't you go and speak to her?" Tavernake asked. The professor shivered. "There has been a disagreement," he explained. "Beatrice and Elizabeth have quarreled. Mind you, Beatrice was right." "Then why don't you go to her instead of staying with Elizabeth?" Tavernake demanded, bluntly.
They had quarreled at the dinner-table. He had left her on the ground that it was dangerous for her to be excited as he evidently excited her. It is one of the most craven shifts of a man for ending an endless wrangle with a woman. Zada tried three clubs before she found Cheever. When she heard his voice at last she was enraptured. She tried to entice him into her own shelter.
If others suspected De Artigny they felt little resentment or desire to punish him and doubtless the men had quarreled, and the fatal knife thrust been delivered in fair fight. The result interested them only slightly, and none regretted the loss of the man killed.
"Certainly not. I've sat up with you on far smaller provocation." "But how about Mary?" "She will sleep, or, if she doesn't and I suppose she won't she is entirely happy. She will be glad to have me spend the night with you." "Very well, then. Tell me the story of what has happened to you and Mary since the day when we quarreled like a pair of idiots, and like men of sense decided not to fight.
I had quarreled with the governor yes, but why? Then I should have to tell her the real reason: I didn't want to marry her or anybody else on such a bargain-counter basis. That seemed such a rotten thing to say, and she might ask why it had taken me such a long time to find it out. No, I just COULDN'T tell her that.
Exaggerated as the above story probably is, we may reasonably believe that it comes nearer the truth than that told by Diderot in after years, when he and Rousseau had quarreled. In that version, Rousseau, desiring to compete for the prize, consulted Diderot as to which side he should take, and was advised to assume that which other people would avoid. Diderot, Oeuvres, xi. 148.
