The pride and hubris with which Miss Linda had made her comment regarding Alexander and Cambyses was overwhelming, threatening to almost overflow to the surroundings.

While listening to this, her partner, Lord Parker pursed his lip.

Although he usually loved the inherent haughtiness of his wife, he also felt that sometimes she tended to go a bit too far with it.
