Underlying all this was a flavor of independence, but not such crude independence that it killed the delicate tone that implied that the hearer of the whisper was a very pretty girl, and that that fact was granted even while her interference in the whisperer's affairs was misliked, and her suspicions of dishonest acts on his part considered uncalled for.
The girl behind Flibbertigibbet hissed in her ear: "Yer jest pizen mean; dirt ain't in it." A back kick worthy of a pack mule took effect upon the whisperer's shin.

He drew his chair away, and sat a spectacle of terror, misery, and rage.
