"This is yer last kick before we kick ye to hell," said a broken-nosed gentleman at the corner of Carrick Hill.
Ever since Mary Bowerman had taunted her with being a waif, Hester had realized how much the foster aunt had done for her, and what sacrifice of time and money, she had made. The one way which Hester saw to repay the obligation, was to do those things which would reflect credit on the Alden name.
She has not excelled, because she has had no fair chance to excel. Man, placing his foot upon her shoulder, has taunted her with not rising. But the ulterior question remains behind, How came she into this attitude, originally? Explain the explanation, the logician fairly demands. Granted that woman is weak because she has been systematically degraded; but why was she degraded?
So many trifles that day roused the under-current of old thoughts and old hopes that taunted him, trifles, too, that he would not have heeded at another time. Pike came in on business, a bunch of bills in his hand. A wily, keen eye he had, looking over them, a lean face, emphasized only by cunning. No wonder Dr. Knowles cursed him for a "slippery customer," and was cheated by him the next hour.

I won't be taunted afterward that he turned me out and that I sent you to him to plead for me." "I'll tell him you didn't want me to come, that I came of my own accord," offered Nancy Ellen. "And he won't believe you," said Kate. "Would you consent for me to go?" asked Robert Gray. "Certainly not! I can look out for myself." "What shall you do?" asked Nancy Ellen anxiously.
"Ma-a-a-a!" yelled Sid, as he struggled with the handle. "Come quick, come quick." The gate suddenly yielded. Sid sprang inside, up the front steps, and into the hallway. There he turned, locked the screen door, and stuck out his tongue at his adversary. "Ya-a-a-a!" he taunted. John contemplated an attack upon the flimsy screening, but a remnant of wisdom withheld him.
Also Charity had loved Jim before she met Cheever, and she made no secret of being fond of him still. In their occasional quarrels, Cheever had taunted her with wishing she had married Jim, and she had retorted that she had indeed made a big mistake in her choice. Lovers say such things for lack of other weapons in such combats as lovers inevitably wage, if only for exercise.
