Seabrooke was accusing him of searching for and taking the money he had confided to his care, but which he, Percy, certainly had no right to recover by such means. "You say I took back my money without asking you for it, and hunted it out from your places?" he asked, incredulously, but fiercely.
Seth demanded, grown restive under Pip's accusing gaze. "You, of course!" "But I haven't been up to any game." "You can't stuff me with that kind of talk, 'cause I've got it down here in black an' white." "Got what down?" Tim asked impatiently.

Having told her that I had once been a laundress, she made me wash and iron all the clothes in the house, and was forever accusing me of using too much soap and too much coal.

Hinsdale drew his horses up in front of the house around the corner, but Mary's "little friends" gave up dressing, without a qualm, and even risked missing their soup to sit, lined up in an accusing row on her bed and her window-box, ready to greet her when she stumbled into her dark room and lit her gas.
