[Her] lips, moving so slightly as she spoke, not breaking the cold serene look of her face with any variation from the one lovely haughty curve. (1.7.17)

Quote #5
"What business had she, a renegade clergyman's daughter, to turn up her nose at you!" (1.9.32)
Mrs. Thornton is furious to hear that Margaret Hale has acted haughtily toward her son. In her mind, you're only as worth as much as you have in the bank… and Margaret's family is totally poor. It just goes to show you what happens when two proud people come into contact: they beat each other to a bloody pulp. Naaah. They just get snarky.
Quote #6
"A more proud, disagreeable girl I never saw. Even her great beauty is blotted out of one's memory by her scornful ways." (1.10.32)
