And all because some woman way back in Methusalem's time had sense enough to heave you over. At least, that's what everybody cal'lates must be the reason. You pretend to be a woman-hater. All round this part of the Cape you've took pains to get up that kind of reputation; but " "There ain't no pretendin' about it. I've got brains enough to keep clear of petticoats.
Now rage took hold of me, who remembered that while this woman-hater lived blood must flow in streams, but that if he died there would be peace and Quilla would be safe. So I lifted my sword a little, and as I did so Quilla rose from her stone and stumbled forward, crying: "O Lord, shed not the Inca's holy blood for me. Let me be given up! Let me be given up!"
Thus said Thurstane, a fellow as ignorant of the female kind as any man in the army, and scarcely less ignorant than the average man of the navy. He declared to himself that he would never have anything more to do with her, nor with any of her false sex. At twenty-three he turned woman-hater, just as Mrs. Stanley at forty-five had turned man-hater, and perhaps for much the same sort of reason.
Scarcely had I been six weeks in this city before I had an adventure which I shall here relate; for, myself excepted, all the persons concerned in it are now dead. Intrigues properly belong to novels. This book is intended for a more serious purpose, and they are therefore here usually suppressed. It cannot be supposed I was a woman-hater.
Before very long we shall train an army of menservants, and send the women to the devil. 'Queer thing, Rolfe, put in his friend, with a laugh; 'I've noticed it of late, you're getting to be a regular woman-hater. 'Not a bit of it. I hate a dirty, lying, incapable creature, that's all, whether man or woman. No doubt they're more common in petticoats. 'Been to the Frothinghams' lately? 'No.
Then Lena opened her heart, seeing that I was not a woman-hater, and told me she had a beau in Sweden; but I gathered from her manner of telling it that his intentions were somewhat vague yet. Eliza had already admitted that she had a "fellow," and had shown me his picture. Helene made a bluff at having one, too, though she did not seem able to give names or dates.
At first, when she used to think that Severne never came near her, and Uxmoor was so constant, she almost hated Uxmoor so little does the wrong man profit by doing the right thing for a woman. I admit that, though not a deadly woman-hater myself. But by-and-by she was impartially bitter against them both; the wrong man for doing the right thing, and the right man for not doing it.
Arthur smiled and shook his head, though the subject was by no means an unpleasing one, at least judging from his animated countenance, and the rapt attention which he paid to every word. "But who, may I ask, Ernest, was your informant as to my claims to the title of 'woman-hater?" "Not Miss Wiltshire, I can credibly affirm. More than that I do not think it is fair to tell you."
Miss Ruth said this mornin' she was told I don't know who by that the lightkeeper was a woman-hater. Are you the woman-hater, Seth?" Mr. Atkins looked at the floor. "Yes, I be," he answered, sullenly. "Do you wonder?" "I don't wonder at your runnin' away; that I should have expected. But there," more briskly, "this ain't gettin' us anywhere. You're here and I'm here.
Herr Gedicke says he could marry a wealthy girl, for he is a great favorite, and is invited into the most distinguished society. He repels every one, and has become a woman-hater." "He hates them does that mean that he hates me?" "Yes, he thoroughly scorns and despises you; so much so that Herr Gedicke says you should know of it, and keep out of his way.
