The importunity of the red-cap with the luggage relieved her of the necessity for answering but the answer in her heart just then was "Yes." It was with a wry self-scornful smile that she recalled, later that day, the emotions of the ride home.
Mavering needed no other hint to speak, and he spoke fully, while Boardman listened with an agreeable silence, letting the hero of the tale break into self-scornful groans and doleful laughs, and ease his heart with grotesque, inarticulate noises, and made little or no comments. By the time his breakfast came, Boardman was ready to say, "I didn't suppose it was so much of a mash."
The day you come we had about made up our minds to leave." "Oh!" "But I've been thinkin' of something since you've been here that I don't know but you'll say is about as wild as wantin' to buy a three-hundred-dollar picture with a week's board." She gave a short, self-scornful laugh; but it was a laugh, and it relieved the tension. "It may not be worth any more," he said, glad of the relief.
My voice didn't go with my looks; it belonged to a tall, strong-willed girl." "No," he protested. "As soon as I got away it was just as it always had been. I mean that your voice and your looks went together again." "As soon as you got away?" the girl questioned. "I mean What do you care for it, anyway!" he cried, in self-scornful exasperation.
"Certainly not. I don't believe in unnecessary communications." "And you did not find her as angry as you expected?" "I will not say that; she was angry enough. And yet," continued Mary, with a burst of self-scornful penitence, "I will not call Eleanore's lofty indignation anger. She was grieved, Mamma Hubbard, grieved."

"No!" he laughed. "But ladies like to take these liberties at a safe distance." "Yes, that's a specimen of woman's daring," she said, with a self-scornful curl of the lip, which presently softened into a wistful smile. "How lovely it all is!" she sighed. "Yes, there's nothing better in all the world than a sail. It is all the world while it lasts. A boat's like your own fireside for snugness."
Clavering after having given him your word of honor to be his wife?" "Why not, when I found I could not keep my word." "Then you have decided not to marry him?" She did not reply at once, but lifted her face mechanically to the picture. "My uncle would tell you that I had decided to be governed wholly by his wishes!" she responded at last with what I felt was self-scornful bitterness.
A smile, half pitiful, half self-scornful curved her lips as she remembered the rat-tat-tat she had heard on that dismal night when she clung listening to the fence, and wondered now if it had not been the bumping of this cot sliding from step to step. But no! the repeated stroke of a hammer is unmistakable. He had played the carpenter that night as well as the mover, and with no visible results.
