"Bourma.... That's awful nice. With honey. And do try some of the stuffed peppers and rice." "All right," said Theresa, gloomily. Somehow Mr. Wrenn wasn't vastly transformed even by the possession of the two thousand dollars her mother had reported. He was still "funny and sort of scary," not like the overpowering Southern gentlemen she supposed she remembered. Also, she was hungry.
"Ay, that ye must!" chorused the others. "I only axed 'wot an' wheer." "Only axed, did ye?" repeated Joel scornfully, "Ah," nodded the other, "that's all." "But you're always a-axin', you are," said Joel gloomily. "W'ich I notice," retorted the man Tom, blowing into his tankard, "w'ich I notice as you ain't never over-fond o' answerin'." "Oh! I ain't, ain't I?"
Dave, however, went about his work all but unconsciously. Never much of an egotist, he declined to believe himself the star man of the Navy eleven. When Coach Havens called off the two teams that were to play that day, Jetson observed that he was not called for either. "It looks as though Darrin has queered me," muttered that midshipman gloomily to himself.
"There won't neither him nor Burr say a word," said the old man, "but there was Burr's knife a-stickin' into Lot's side, with his name cut into it." Madelon turned sharply to Louis. "You saw the blood on my hand when I was rubbing your arm last night," she said. He made no reply, but stared gloomily at the fire. "Louis, you saw Lot Gordon's blood on my hand?"
"You got home all right," he said, gloomily, of a sudden, his tune modifying itself to one of self-commiseration. "Yes," said Carrie, easily. He looked at her steadily for a moment, slowing his pace and fixing her with his eye. She felt the flood of feeling. "How about me?" he asked. This confused Carrie considerably, for she realized the floodgates were open.
"Have you no friends whom you would wish to see?" he asked, one evening, when Rufus Dawes had proved more than usually deaf to his arguments. "No," said Dawes gloomily. "My friends are all dead to me." "What, all?" asked the other. "Most men have some one whom they wish to see." Rufus Dawes laughed a slow, heavy laugh. "I am better here." "Then are you content to live this dog's life?"
"If she married him when he was as rough as you say, and if he agrees to let bygones be bygones, you need have no fear of Mrs. Blake. Only be sure to go into raptures over the baby. Tell her it's the perfect image of its father." "What if it isn't?" objected Ashton gloomily. She dimpled.
And that was what had happened. Amid the wreckage of the property fence, which had collapsed with the weight of the German actor, sat he and Miss Dixon, while the manager, with a gesture of despair exclaimed: "That's another scene to be done over." "I knew that would happen!" observed Pepper Sneed, gloomily.
One evening, when he had been unwell for several days, Doctor Bindon came in, after dinner, from the adjoining medical quarter, and smoked with him over the fire. The patient's ailment was not such as to require much thought, and they talked together on indifferent subjects. 'I am a lonely man, Bindon a lonely man, Millborne took occasion to say, shaking his head gloomily.
Razumov at a certain address in town which seemed to be that of an oculist. Razumov read it, finished shaving, dressed, looked at the note again, and muttered gloomily, "Oculist." He pondered over it for a time, lit a match, and burned the two envelopes and the enclosure carefully.
