Excerpt from Hagar Revelly

Eman Revelly and his wife had quarrelled for quite half of their twenty years together. This quarrel was apparently much like the others.

His wife and the two daughters, Hagar and Thatah, sat at the breakfast table, as he backed in from the kitchen. His short, thick figure was trembling with temper, the beads of perspiration, like little pearls, stood out upon the bald part of his head.

"Fanny is disrespectful again. For a servant, a blockhead, a piece of animal flesh without brains, to answer me in this manner is - is -" he stumbled on the word, and then, noticing the look of disgust and tolerance on his wife's face, and on the face of the younger daughter, Hagar, he controlled himself and took the remaining vacant chair.

As if he felt the necessity for further words, he asked nervously: "What have we to eat?" He took a handkerchief from his sleeve and energetically mopped his reddened face, adding, "I get so nervous. I can't control myself."

The only answer that came to him was a laugh from Hagar. The child was always amused when her father spoke under temper, for his habit of rolling the r's had never left him. But further aggravation from Hagar was suppressed by her face being buried in a napkin.

After a moment, Mrs. Revelly broke in. Not very courageously, she said: "Hagar, show your father some respect."
