It was only eleven o'clock, and Delamere, not being at all sleepy, and feeling somewhat out of sorts as the combined results of his afternoon's debauch and the snubbing he had received at Clara's hands, directed the major's coachman, who had taken charge of the trap upon its arrival, to drive him to the St. James Hotel before returning the horses to the stable.
Then they turned their heads away, all snubbing him at once, and sauntered up the last step to the terrace, and so forward to where their young host stood. "Gee, he hated what y' done t' him!" exclaimed Johnnie. After shaking hands with them, he passed them on to Uncas and his braves, the Indians receiving them with every indication of cordiality.
The thought of young Carver's public snubbing before his friends was my one unmixed satisfaction. I rather imagined that he was more uncomfortable than I was or could be. Lute crowed vaingloriously over his own good judgment in leaving for home early. "I don't know how 'twas," he declared. "Somethin' seemed to tell me we was in for a turrible tempest.
One afternoon, when there was little custom in the store, Tom entered one of the rear rooms, where were Zeigler and two other clerks. The fellow's heart rankled at the snubbing he had received, and he was plotting some way of "getting even" with the sanctimonious fellow, who would never swear or indulge in a coarse word. "This is just the place for a wrestling match," remarked Zeigler.
Kenby was for not only throwing his attention entirely around the newcomer, but for snubbing Larcher utterly forthwith; seeing which, Florence took upon herself the office of introducing the two young men. Mr. Turl, in resting his eyes on Larcher, showed no consciousness of having encountered him before. They were blue eyes, clear and soft, and with something kind and well-wishing in their look.
I ought to have taken more care of my daughter. I should have bundled the major out at once, or have gone straight to his excellency, his papa, and disclosed all. The young baron will get off merely with a snubbing, I know that well enough, and all the blame will fall upon the fiddler. Pooh! nonsense! How can it fall upon you? What have people to do with you?
Rob looked anxiously up at the lofty bank which rose above them. Perhaps there was a little trace of stubbornness in Rob's make-up, and certainly he had no wish to abandon the project at this stage. "We might edge her up the bank a little at a time," said Alex, "snubbing her up by the line.
But Honoria's moment of piteousness was past. She had recovered all her habitual lazy and gallant grace when he came up with her. "No no," she said. "Hear me. I began this rather foolish conversation. I laid myself open to well to a snubbing. I got one, anyhow!" "In mercy don't rub it in!" Mr. Quayle murmured contritely. "But I did," Honoria returned.
A donkey engine would have stalled trying to pull Johnny around to the front porch, after that bald hint. As it happened, Mary V was not taking any chances. She was not on the front porch, but down at the airplane, snubbing Bland most unmercifully and waiting for Johnny.
It was evident to him that she did not in the slightest degree resent his daily declaration of independence; indeed, he saw that she scarcely gave him any thoughts whatever that he was to her no more than heavy-footed Jotham. "She does not even consider me worth snubbing," he thought, with much dissatisfaction, about a week subsequent to their arrival.
