Marie all at once incredible that he could ever have believed ill of her ever have doubted her honesty. It seemed to him so incredible that he could have laughed aloud in bitterness and self-disdain.
But the talk went on, and what with the absurd misery of his own position and the well-known lines the conversation followed, he was fairly aflame with embarrassment and self-disdain. Exactly what this gifted and amiable young ass of a Bostonian was doing, and saying, and thinking, and feeling, he had been doing, saying, thinking, feeling a year ago. And Gertrude was playing with young Mr.
And as she did it, and bound the lance-gash close, and bathed his breast, his forehead, his hair, his beard, free from the sand and the powder and the gore, a thousand changes swept over her mobile face. It was one moment soft, and flushed, and tender as passion; it was the next jealous, fiery, scornful, pale, and full of impatient self-disdain. He was nothing to her morbleu!
But what he told you was true." He looked steadfastly at her, and she realized how handsome he was, and how well dressed. His thick red hair seemed to have grown darker above his forehead; his moustache was heavier, and it curved in at the corners of his mouth; he bore himself with a sort of self-disdain that enhanced his splendor.
"O woman! changeful fickle vain!" laughed the young man, as he performed the duty of supporting the not very fragile form of the fair Christal. Olive was left alone. Why did she tremble? Why did her pulse sink, slower and slower? She asked herself this question, even in self-disdain. But there was no answer. Harold entered.

"Oh, pshaw!" exclaimed Tim in modest self-disdain, "that ain't nothin', but I wish I could git off a bit." "Get off? What do you mean?" The boy was silent for some moments, then asked shyly: "Say! Is there big cities in Scotland, an' crowds of people, an' trains, an' engines, an' factories, an' things? My! I wish I could git away!"
No chance, but the urging of his own exalted mood, brought him the last lines of Moody's "Ode in Time of Hesitation": "Then on your guiltier head Shall our intolerable self-disdain Wreak suddenly its anger and its pain; For manifest in that disastrous light We shall discern the right And do it, tardily. O ye who lead, Take heed! Blindness we may forgive, but baseness we will smite."
Sometimes I feel like a girl that has run away from home diamonds and dyed hair, you know and then wakes up at night and cries to think of what a price she has paid for all her fine things!" Florence waved her hand towards the alabaster statue of Pocahontas, with a little ripple of self-disdain.
