"Christian's grandmother you are his grandmother, are you not? you must be much, much older than me, but look at my hair. Am I likely to taunt any one with having grown grey or with being miserable? It takes a good deal of pain, good mother, to make young hair as white as mine." "So it should," muttered the old woman, "so it should.
He knew this of himself that he was not faithless; and no one had any right to grudge him the happiness of founding a family. He was quite indignant for the first time for a long time. That they should taunt him, who had done more for the cause than most! just because he looked after his own affairs for a time!
"That is one of the many things I have apologised for. You surely do not wish to taunt me with it again?" "Oh, I don't mean the recent accident. I mean being here in America. Your sketches of the Shawenegan Falls, and your description of the Quebec district, brought me out to America; and, added to that I expected to meet you." "To meet me?" "Certainly.
"You may taunt me, Señor de Melinza," whispered the broken voice, "you may taunt me with my helplessness. I may not break these bonds, it is true; but neither can you sever those that bind to me the love of a true-hearted English maid....

Come not to mock me!"
In the next instant Grace was sorry for her rude retort. It would have been far better to remain silent, she reflected. By answering she had shown Virginia that the latter's taunt had annoyed her. "I wish I hadn't answered Miss Gaines," she confided to Miriam as they were leaving the dining room. "It doesn't add to one's freshman dignity to quarrel." "I am glad you did," returned Miriam.
It was not fair to hold Addington entirely responsible for the promotion of his brother, who had been a junior lord of the treasury under Pitt. The taunt came with a particularly bad grace from Canning, who had himself been paymaster-general in the last administration. Pellew, Life of Sidmouth, ii., 250. Annual Register, xlvi. , p. 34. Stanhope, Life of Pitt, iv., 135-44.
The Brahmists used at one time to taunt us with our divisions, but for a long time they have had two separate Sumajes, composed respectively of Conservatives and Liberals.
Doesn't it occur to you that you were a fool ever to set out on the enterprise of coping with him?" I did not answer the taunt, but looked seaward, away across the west, where Roderick and Mary were.
