"You’re mighty grim-mouthed," Anse commented, glancing at Drew sideways. "Thinkin’ of trains runnin’ through here git you down that far? Or else that roughenin’ up you took in town still sit sour on your stomach?" "Sits sour all right," Drew admitted. "Sits sourer to think we were suckered into it." The scout glanced from one to the other of the young men.
She had her faults even the truly lovely have mental flaws, though bodily they are perfect but whilst she lived, her poor old mother dressed in silks and velvets not in rags; she ate and drank delicately, not sour crusts and sourer wine; she slept on down and not in a cellar!"
"There'll be trouble with Sourdough if you're not careful, Vaughan. He's a demon of a dog, an', by gee! he's sourer than his boss, an' that's saying something." "Well, yes, I'd thought about Sourdough," said Dick; "and I'm glad his quarters are the other side of the yard." "The other side!" said French. "Why, man, he owns the whole place. You see how the other dogs kow-tow to him.
Saying nothing, I smiled a little bitterly as I marched away to carry in water, and then the lady, whose thin face seemed sourer than usual that evening, set me to wash the supper dishes. All went well until I had the misfortune to break a stove-cracked plate, when looking at me contemptuously she said: "How very clumsy!

You fancied so because your sin had found you out. I must go and see how the poor woman is. I don't want to reproach you at all, now you are sorry, but I should like you just to think that you have been helping to make that poor old woman wicked. She is naturally of a sour disposition, and you have made it sourer still, and no doubt made her hate everybody more than she was already inclined to do.
My impression is, that if even a shadow of a suspicion flitted across him, he is a sort of man to double-dye himself in guilt by way of vengeance in anticipation of an imagined offence.
