"Ha! ha!" laughed Nigel, in a sort of desperate amusement, "I I Yes, I will ask you, Winnie! But first I must explain " "Hallo! Nigel!" came at that moment from the other side of the obstruction, "are you there all right?" "Yes, yes I'm here not all right exactly, but I'll be all right some day, you may depend upon that!" shouted the youth, in a tone of indignant exasperation.
The republican opposition submitted to be pardoned; but it was not reconciled. Discontent with the new order of things and exasperation against the unwonted ruler were general.
He had to take account of the angry exasperation of temper that prevailed; and for the general weal he felt that some settlement, however peremptory, was essential. However unwillingly, he was compelled to decide for the drastic exercise of authority which might, once for all, compose the strife and produce a settlement. Expedition was of the first importance in the business.
Only a few exceptions go on thinking restlessly to the extreme exasperation of their neighbours. The normal mind craves for decisions, even wrong or false decisions rather than none. It clutches at comforting falsehoods. It loves to be told, "There, don't you worry. That'll be all right. That's settled." This war has come as an almost overwhelming challenge to mankind.

Since those fellows were sure to have the same trouble as white pilferers in disposing of their stolen stock, they were fond of stampeding the cattle when not under the eyes of their caretakers. About all that resulted from this amusement was extra exasperation and work on the part of the cowmen. A more serious mischief was that of killing the animals.
He came very near to the summit of exasperation when, on making application at a free dispensary, his sores were dressed for him by a Hindu assistant apothecary who lectured him on brotherly love with interlarded excerpts from Carlyle done into Hindustani. But the climax came when a native policeman poked him in the ribs with a truncheon and ordered him out of sight.
He could not even compel himself. Tonight, however, he was still serene, though little tremors of unreasonable exasperation ran through him. He had to handle the razor very carefully, as he shaved, for it was not at one with him, he was afraid of it. His hearing also was too much sharpened.
