Chapman, the Vice-Chancellor, arose and said that Mme. Mara had conducted herself too ill to be allowed to sing before such an audience. Instantly a wicked wag cried out, "A riot, by permission of the Vice-Chancellor!" A scene of the utmost confusion ensued, and the agitated cantatrice quitted the theatre, amid hisses and yells, in high dudgeon.
Porter retired in dudgeon. She liked to rule, and at No. 90 she felt that she had become merely among those present. She was in the position of a mother country whose colony has revolted. For years she had been accustomed to look on Ruth as a disciple, a weaker spirit whom she could mould to her will, and now Ruth was refusing to be moulded. So Mrs. Porter's visits ceased.
He leaned forward, with his hands on his knees, looking her steadily in the face. "Thank you, Mr. Dudgeon, I I understand," she said haltingly. "That's what I thought you'd say," he remarked as he sat back. "I know it's a sad business for you, as it stands, and I'd rather you never had it. You're the first woman I've felt that way about for more years than you've lived.
Tommy said, "Thunder turtles!" as the only vent equal to the pent-up anguish of the moment, and, dropping Nan's arm, retired in high dudgeon, leaving her to follow with the fork, a neglect which naughty Nan punished by proceeding to prick his heart with jealousy as if it were another sort of apple. The hearth was swept, and the rosy Baldwins put down to roast.
She thought tableaux were on the whole a somewhat troublesome amusement. "Will I do, Mrs. Sandford?" she said. "Nora does not want to play." "In dudgeon, hey?" said the lady. "I expected as much.

It begins with Robin's desire to attend church at Nottingham, since "It is a fortnight and more sin' I my Saviour saw". Little John accompanies him, but on the way they quarrel about a wager, and Robin strikes him, upon which the faithful servant departs in high dudgeon. At Nottingham a hooded monk recognizes our hero and gives the alarm.
Dudgeon, and from what I hear from Jim, my barman, who's got his eye on the girl Mrs. Eustace has, they're pretty good friends now, if not a bit more. I shouldn't be surprised, speaking as between man and man, to see her back at the bank again before many years are over, that is, if young Harding stays on here." "Oh!" Dudgeon exclaimed. "Oh!" "He's a fine young fellow, Mr.
I see you made the tea, so I had mine as I was wanting a feed. You'll have to boil some more water there was only enough for one in the first lot you made." "I made that tea for myself, Mr. Dudgeon," Durham exclaimed. "Well, make some more.
And generally, what induced you to make yourself such a nuisance?" He blushed deeply. "Why, sir," says he, "there is such a thing as patriotism, I hope." By eight the next morning Dudgeon and I had made our parting. By that time we had grown to be extremely familiar; and I would very willingly have kept him by me, and even carried him to Amersham Place.
Robbery and pillage were his achievements, to make chaos more confounded was his destiny. Anjou disgusted with the temporary favor accorded to a rival whom he affected to despise disbanded his troops in dudgeon, and prepared to retire to France.
