Context
“«How can you dare to use such words!» she cried, turning impetuously upon him, her eyes flashing as the latent spirit (of which he was to see more some day) awoke in her. «My God! I could knock you out of the gig! Did it never strike your mind that what every woman says some women may feel?»
«Very well,» he said, laughing; «I am sorry to wound you. I did wrong—I admit it.» He dropped into some little bitterness as he continued: «Only you needn't be so everlastingly flinging it in my face.” source
