Say, boys, take on with me I'll double your money; and what's more I'll stand up for my rights!" He looked around at the line of gun-fighters, but their set lips did not answer his smile. Only in their eyes, those subtle mirrors of the mind, did he read the passing reflex of their scorn. "You're scared, you coward," went on Rimrock scathingly as McBain looked warily about.
It mounted into an indictment against the cramping evils of intolerance, it scathingly denounced the goodness of the strait-jacket until the old minister saw every effort of his life assailed and vilified. His mind, distorted by suffering and brooding, beheld a prophet indeed, but a prophet who carried Satan's commission and who dared to serve it in the house of God.
Then the introductions over, the Maluka said: "Ann, now I suppose she may consider herself just 'One of Us." The homestead, standing half-way up the slope that rose from the billabong, had, after all, little of that "down-at-heels, anything'll-do" appearance that Mac had so scathingly described.
She had particularly wanted to impress Dale with her good fortune. She had often, of course, heard Dale speak scathingly and bitterly of the "classes" and the "privileged few" and the unfairness of things in general, but she had paid little attention to it and could not, anyway, connect it with unassuming Robin.
Körg, bewildered, could not yet yield simple faith. He clutched desperately his bread and pudding. He found no joyful words. The little man frowned scathingly on the gift of Klaus, then burst into a scornful laugh. "It is always thus, friend, with the money elves; they deal niggardly, even at the full. But, care not, since this meagre chip will prove to you a barter for millions. Follow me!
In the second place, I resent your interference in my affairs. Wait! Do not interrupt me, please. Maybe you have not exactly interfered as yet, but you are determined to do so, for the honour of the family, I suppose." She spoke scathingly. "I defy you, and mother, too. I am not a child to be " "I must interrupt you," he exclaimed. "I haven't the slightest idea what you are talking about."
"Told Cora yet?" he asked, with scornful laughter. "Told me what?" Cora looked quickly up from her plate. "Oh, nothing about this Corliss," he returned scathingly. "Don't get excited." "Hedrick!" remonstrated his mother, out of habit. "She never thinks of anything else these days," he retorted. "Rides with him every evening in his pe-rin-sley hired machine, doesn't she?"
"How perfectly absurd!" she exclaimed, scathingly. "I was calling on Miss Mary Turner!" "How did you come to meet her, anyhow?" Burke inquired. He still held his big voice to a softer modulation than that to which it was habituated. Yet, the disdain of the girl seemed only to increase momently.
Now she marked the small stature, little taller, little stronger, than her own; the pale face, the narrow chest, the slender body. "You know what I mean, what I want," he was muttering. "That sweet young-thing innocence is all right in its place but that place is not here alone in the mountains with a man." "Man!" she burst out scathingly. "You, a man! Why, you wretched little beast!"
"When this hysterical outburst is quite over," she said scathingly, "I shall be better able to talk to you." Nan made no answer. It was all she could do to prevent herself from bursting into tears.
