It had nearly wrecked her life: and he only realised it now, in the moment of clear-seeing which comes to every being once in a lifetime. Well, it was something to have seen the mistake at last. He had come to the sluice-gate.
He laughed a sudden laugh, if he had been a white man, I should have called it scornful; as he was a few shades darker than myself, I suppose it must be considered an insolent, or at least an unmannerly one. "It don't matter, Ma'am. I'd rather be up here with the fever than down with those niggers; and there ain't no other place fer me." Poor fellow! that was true.
I was staring at the astonishing horse, the queer wagon, and the whole outfit with more curiosity than manners, I reckon, when she came into the circle, and caught my unmannerly eye. "Well," she said, her face reddening under the tan, "if you see anything green throw your hat at it! Sellin' gawp-seed, or what is your business?"
"Fortunately, we managed to escape from her castle, and we are now on our way to Glinda the Good to see if she possesses the power to restore us to our former shapes."

'And he goeth, as is his wont, to visit my mistress, and to insult her, and to treat her unmannerly, and to threaten that he will drive her from the one remaining roof-tree she possesses.

But the pride, the recklessness, the defiance of fate, the unbounded defiance!

Margaret, looking again into her aunt's face, saw the smile of triumph that sat there, and resolved at once to make good her ground.
