"But half the time, anyway, she forgets it." "Except when she is talking to men," said Alice vindictively, to which Mrs. Hooper added with her little obstinate air "Any girl who likes admiration as much as Connie does must be vain. Of course, I don't blame her." "Likes admiration? Hm," said Nora, still chewing at her twig. "Yes, I suppose she does. But she's good at snubbing, too."
But instead of that he was evidently determined to brazen the thing out, and had begun by snubbing the very fellows whom he had so deeply injured. Wraysford felt specially hurt. It had cost him a good deal to put on a friendly air and speak as if nothing had happened; and to find himself scorned for his pains and actually avoided by the friend who had wronged him was too much.
His frank good humour, his ready wit, his unfailing kindliness, won him affection. Even the Colonel liked him, and bore from McMahon behaviour which would have led to the sharp snubbing of anyone else. There came a day the 6th of August for which the Colonel, or some higher authority, devised a "stunt" of the most intense and laborious kind.
Newman attributes great results in the formation of his own character: the first emphatically opening his mind and teaching him to use his reason, whilst in religious opinion he taught him the existence of a church, and fixed in him Anti-Erastian views of Church polity; the second being a man of most exact mind, who through a course of severe snubbing taught him to weigh his words and be cautious in his statements.
"We always are patient until the Herr Piper is ready to tell us what he wishes; then we listen and attend." Doris would have felt that the boy was snubbing her if his eyes had not been so kind and his voice so sweet. As it was she took it all pleasantly, and determined to ask no more questions, but to content herself with as much information as the Piper was willing to bestow upon her.
"Miss Blood," he said, "I envy you your gift of snubbing people." Lydia looked at him. "Snubbing people?" she echoed. "Yes; your power of remaining silent when you wish to put down some one who has been wittingly or unwittingly impertinent." "I don't know what you mean," she said, in a sort of breathless way. "And you didn't intend to mark your displeasure at my planning your future?" "No!
If we are to be idols we can't afford to give our subjects a bit of relief from their religious obligations, and I'm quite sure we are idols or sovereigns, more than likely the former, judging by the snubbing our flinty friend has received."
She led her senses round to weep, and produced a state of mental drowning for a truce to the bitter riddle. Quiet reigned in the household next day, and for the length of the day. Her father had departed, her mother treated her vixenishly, snubbing her for a word, but the ugly business of yesterday seemed a matter settled and dismissed. Alvan, then, had been appeased.
Stuyvesant-Knox made her distinctions in snubbing some people and preening herself to others. "What are the Four Hundred? Are they a kind of Light Brigade, like the Six Hundred?" I asked. "Or is it a sort of governing body like like the Council of Three?"
Mollie recalled the snubbing which she had received on suggesting the improvements to the vicarage, coupled with the various cynical remarks to which Mr Farrell had given utterance on the subject of this very garden-party, and felt convinced that he was not the anonymous donor; but these things were not to be repeated, so she remained silent, while Ruth and Mrs Thornton wondered and speculated.
