Both Uses of
scorn
in
William Wilson
- This has been already too much an object for the scorn--for the horror--for the detestation of my race.†
*
- The pitiable condition of my dupe had thrown an air of embarrassed gloom over all; and, for some moments, a profound silence was maintained, during which I could not help feeling my cheeks tingle with the many burning glances of scorn or reproach cast upon me by the less abandoned of the party.†
