egg, meeting this acknowledgment half-way, declared that it was beneath her to take notice of such a man’s conduct, and that, for her sister’s sake, she would Men Cropped Jeans let him keep the five hundred a while Women Blouses longer, for when she put it Vans Women Women out on a mortgage she should only get four per cent.
Chapter XIII: Mr. Tulliver Further Entangles the Skein of Life
Owing to this new adjustment of Mrs. Glegg’s thoughts, Mrs. Pullet found her task of mediation the next day surprisingly easy. Men Shirts Mrs. Glegg, indeed checked her rather sharply for thinking it would be necessary to tell her elder sister what was the right mode of behavior in family matters. Mrs. Pullet’s argument, that it would look ill in the neighborhood if people Adidas Superstar should have it in their power to say that there was a quarrel in the family, was particularly offensive. If the family name never suffered except through Mrs. Glegg, Mrs. Pullet might lay her head on her pillow in perfect confidence.
“It’s not to be expected, I suppose,” observed Mrs. Glegg, by way of winding up the subject, “as I shall go to the mill again before Bessy comes to see me, or as I shall go and fall down o’ my knees to Mr. Tulliver, and ask his pardon for showing him favors; but Unisex I shall bear no malice, and when Mr. Tulliver speaks civil to me, I’ll speak civil to Vans Slippers Women him. Nobody has any call to tell me what’s becoming.”

“Then I may Off-White Men Shoes call and tell Bessy you’ll bear no malice, Men Oversized Coats and everything be as it was before?” Mrs. Pullet said, just before parting.
“Yes, you may, Sophy,” said Mrs. Glegg; “you may tell Mr. Tulliver, and Bessy too, as I’m not going to behave ill because folks behave ill to me; I know it’s my place, as the eldest, to set an example in every respect, and I do it. Nobody can say different of me, if they’ll keep to the truth.”
Mrs. Glegg being in this state of satisfaction in her own lofty magnanimity, I leave you to judge what effect was produced on her by the reception of a short letter from Mr. Tulliver that very evening, after Mrs. Pullet’s departure, informing her that she Vans Hoodies & Sweatshirts Men needn’t trouble her mind about her five hundred pounds, for it should be paid blinks:
