Not P but Moby-Dick (90)

[Michael Bailey]

They’re sort of right, seems to me, but -

If “outraged” is an escalation from “insulted”
which it may well be - and in fact there’s also a nice “in” to “out”
contrast built in there

Then, he says he skipped right over being insulted, & progressed to being
outraged, is the purport here
