She was glad of so good an excuse for putting a fretting thing aside. But it would not remain hidden. During Gaston's absences it reared its hated head with his return it slunk into shadow. Taking advantage of one of Gaston's brief visits from home, Joyce had gone to Drew, timing her call when she knew his womenkind were away. She had an instinctive aversion to her own sex.
And what is it, after all, but a barbarous relic of those times when a man must needs drink so much wine as to render himself unfit for the company of his womenkind? "Well," demanded Kitty, "how do you like my lion?" "Mr. Mallory? I didn't know he was a lion," responded Nan. "Of course you didn't. You musicians never realise that the human Zoo boasts any other lions but yourselves." Nan laughed.
As in the case of "the Duke's" house, so here, all the womenkind were hidden away on account of the Consul. Mohammedans are jealous and suspicious of their wives and daughters to a degree, and strongly resent, if not prevent, an Englishman's going up on to the flat roof, lest he have a view of fair occupants beyond or below.
You are like a man who cares not for religion for himself, yet insists upon it for children and for his womenkind, for his inferiors in general. Why should you feel that I need so much prompting?" His voice suddenly hardened. "Tell me. Is it my youth that makes you feel yourself my mentor, or have I failed you in any way? Answer." And he gave the stamp of the foot that I had heard once before.
As for Peter, he contemplated humanity with a jovial cynicism, and rather enjoyed the society of the old blacksmith, despite the gruff sarcasms which sometimes made their womenkind turn the conversation apprehensively.
I guess we have a right to brag o' that invention we trained the dear critters, so they don't think of striking the minutes and seconds no longer. "Now the folks of Halifax take it all out in talking. They talk of steamboats, whalers and railroads; but they all end where they begin in talk. I don't think I'd be out in my latitude if I was to say they beat the womenkind at that.
I had often admired a lassie before then, if scarce so sudden and strong; and it was rather my disposition to withdraw than to come forward, for I was much in fear of mockery from the womenkind.
But in Spain the blood of youth is very hot, love laughs at most restraints and notwithstanding these precautions, often enough there is a catastrophe. The Spaniard, who will seduce any girl he can, is pitiless under like circumstances to his own womenkind; so there is much weeping, the girl is turned out of doors and falls readily into the hands of the procuress.
So all the waiting-maids, and all the womenkind in the castle had to come and try on the shoe, but there was not one whom it would fit. 'But where is Kari Woodengown, then? asked the Prince, when all the others had tried on the shoe, for he understood the song of birds and it came to his mind what the bird had said.
Think, dear, that there have been times when brave men have killed their wives and their womenkind, to keep them from falling into the hands of the enemy. Their hands did not falter any the more because those that they loved implored them to slay them. It is men's duty towards those whom they love, in such times of sore trial!
