'M. de Marsac, he said, looking at me suddenly, 'my nephew has given me to understand that you place yourself entirely in my hands. I replied that I asked for no better fortune, and, whatever the event, thanked him from the bottom of my heart. 'Be pleased then to keep silence until I bid you speak, he replied sharply, for he was one of those whom a sudden stress sours and exacerbates.
I didn't know so much about men then as I do now, but I could see that Tom Carr was the only man in the lot that could be depended on in case of trouble. "Well, how are we fixed for things to shoot with?" went on Carr. "I've got a repeating rifle," answered Valentine. "So have you, and so has Cy. I guess Sours left some shooting-irons behind, too, didn't he, Jud?"
An' why shouldn't you 'ave some of the sours after I've given you all the sweets? You'll 'ave money to burn; I'm not axin' you to give up some nice young feller for 'im. If you play your cards well, you can 'ave all the fun you want " The girl staggered to her feet. She could endure the man's coarseness but not his innuendoes.
He still thought women ought not to smoke; and he thought of one far away, lonely by the sea, who was perfect without being cosmopolitan. The Pilgrim's Scrip remarks that: "Young men take joy in nothing so much as the thinking women Angels: and nothing sours men of experience more than knowing that all are not quite so."

They were acting worse than ever. There was no town government, but a man named Allenham had some time before been elected city marshal at a mass-meeting.
For days and weeks and months they have been obliged to live in the constant companionship and under the constant influence of an antipathy which sours and freezes their affections.
I got a good many things to eat from Joyce's, such as canned fruit and the like; but I always wrote down on a piece of paper nailed on the wall everything I got from any store, so that in the spring, if I were still alive, I could pay for it, or, if it were food, Sours could, since I was, of course, still working for him and it was his place to pay for my keep.
Since he cannot talk as he wants to, he keeps his thoughts to himself, and this sours him, He has spoken more than once, however, and bravely. He was not listened to and he was not heeded. "They needn't talk about me," he said to me one day, "it is they who are deaf!"
"We don't have so much trouble with the broths," Molly said, "but so many people would rather have the cream soups Gaspard makes, that we waste a good deal." "It sours on us," Dolly elucidated. "What do you think would be the best way out of that?" "I think to charge for the invalid things," Dolly said; "people would think more of them if they was specials, and had to be paid good money for.
In the fields only are the sours and bitters of Nature appreciated; just as the wood-chopper eats his meal in a sunny glade, in the middle of a winter day, with content, basks in a sunny ray there and dreams of summer in a degree of cold which, experienced in a chamber, would make a student miserable. They who are at work abroad are not cold, but rather it is they who sit shivering in houses.
