"My pride's a bit bruised," Adam said, climbing up the ladder. "But no, he didn't harm me physically. Like you, your brother has always had enough honor not to hit anyone weaker than he is." Despite his many other flaws.

Reddening and scowling at that, Adam looked stubbornly at the floor, still hurting from the blows to his pride.
