What I got out of it was that he was starved, intellectually starved, mentally starved, starved of the good old milk of human kindness that's what I mean. Everything he put up he threw down, not because she wanted to snub him, but because she either couldn't or wouldn't take the faintest interest in anything that interested him. Course, she may have had jolly good reason. I daresay she had.
"Don't you dare call me Sally, Jack Welles!" "I'll call you Sadie, then," said the boy obligingly. "Where's Rosemary?" He was a short, stocky lad, between fifteen and sixteen years old, with a freckled snub nose, engaging brown eyes and a chin that promised well for future force of character. "Where's Rosemary?" he asked again. "I don't know I haven't seen her since lunch," answered Sarah.
We raise the voluptuous by the score, Gwynne, houris to beat the band. Climate's a regular Venus factory; but somehow we don't get the classic very often. Too mixed, probably. Will have to wait another generation or two. Eyes, complexions, figures ye gods! But noses somehow they run to snub. Still! Look over there.
Now what was one to do with a man like that? A man who laughed at refusals and mellowed with each passing snub! "Telephone, Miss McCormick," the boy sang out from the booth. The opening "Hello" was very short, but the voice changed oddly on the "Oh, Ernestine." Her whole face softened. It was another Georgia now.
General Buncombe was shipped out to Nevada in the invoice of Territorial officers, to be United States Attorney. Now the older citizens of a new territory look down upon the rest of the world with a calm, benevolent compassion, as long as it keeps out of the way when it gets in the way they snub it. Sometimes this latter takes the shape of a practical joke.
He took gloomy views of the situation, was disposed to snub any young man who seemed to be casting glances toward his last remaining treasure, and finally announced that when Fate dealt her last and final blow and carried off Johnnie, he should give up the practice of medicine in Burnet, and retire to the High Valley to live as physician in ordinary to the community for the rest of his days.
I disliked going away, and thought that perhaps he would relent; but when I sat down, as if I was intending to stay, he growled and told me that I was not wanted. I ought by this time to have grown accustomed to being alone, and to have been incapable of letting myself be made miserable by a snub, even from my father. But I was not; I was wretched.
She told Beechy, in an argument they were having together, that she would just as soon as not snub an English duke or marquise, just to show that there were some American girls who didn't come abroad to spend their money on buying a husband from the British aristocracy.
Warwick, and had met a snub an icy check-bow of the aristocratic head from the top of the spinal column, and not a word, not a look; the half-turn of a head devoid of mouth and eyes! She practised that forbidding checkbow herself to perfection, so the endurance of it was horrible.
Even in the wan light her face was rosy with her confession. But she laughed joyously. "I wanted to snub you for being so rude to me. Alas! I ended by by scrubbing your floor." "Diana of the Tubs! How you scrubbed!" "I liked it. You were very nice at Thimble Island, Philidor." She paused a moment. "Then Olga came and the others. She quite owned you, then, didn't she?" "No," he replied slowly.
