Her appearance came into a new light, under Hurstwood's appreciation. The situation livened considerably. " Now, let me see," said Hurstwood, looking over Carrie's shoulder very deferentially. " What have you?" He studied for a moment. " That's rather good," he said. " You're lucky. Now, I'll show you how to trounce your husband. You take my advice."
Tabitha rose instantly, seized her draggled belongings and started for her door, but paused on the threshold to say, "I hit him only once. That ain't fighting, is it? I wanted to trounce him good; he deserved it." Her door shut with an emphatic bang, and the weary, perplexed, belligerent little girl crept into bed to sob herself to sleep.

Tom was so stunned that he had not even presence of mind enough to say "Who cares, Miss Smarty?" until the right time to say it had gone by. So he said nothing. But he was in a fine rage, nevertheless. He moped into the schoolyard wishing she were a boy, and imagining how he would trounce her if she were.
