bitterness

I know I am flaky, I accept that__nd I know, as well, that I can mangle the good king__ English like no one else in my or the next ten governesses_ acquaintances, but that will not prevent me from speaking! I may not be as wise as you in the ways of the world, I may not have wounds that run as deeply or scars to wear upon my chest like medals of valor, but at least I don__ retreat and hide the moment a soul comes within reach of my fingers!

Cries for justice are often the bitter laments of the vengeful.

You never worked a day for this company, any more than you and mymother worked a day to be parents. Until he's ready to step aside, Eli MacMillan runs this show. Andwhen he's ready to step aside, I'll run it. Believe me, I won't be as patient as he's been. You cause himone more moment's grief, and we'll have more than a phone conversation about it.""Are you threatening me? Do you plan to send someone after me like Tony Avano?""No, I know how to hit you where it hurts.
