Sullivan stopped in surprise. "No," he said gruffly.
'Please God he shall yet lay at my feet a province or two of our heritage of France. He touched his cap at the Deity's name, and called gruffly at his son: 'See you, forget not ever that we be Kings of France too, you and I, and the little boy with his cropped head uttered: 'Rex Angliae, Galliae, Franciae et Hiberniae! 'Aye, I ha' learned ye that, the King said, and roared with laughter.
"That's all the world gives any of us," responded the manager gruffly, as he drew forth a sheet of paper and began to write. "Nobody can develop our brains, train our muscles, or save our souls but ourselves."
'It strikes me, my boy, that you've got the devil by the tail this time, he said gruffly, as his eyes rested for a moment on Rallywood; 'but you know how to take care of yourself. Ready? We can drive to the Palace together. I have a carriage waiting. The couple proceeded downstairs, bought cigarettes of the waiter, and started.
His cap was awry, his trousers were muddy at the knees where he had knelt in the moist road, and his face was red and angry. A true knight, I thought to myself, looks not to the beauty of his lady, but only to her distress. "What's the matter, Brother?" I asked in the friendliest manner. "Bolt gone," he said gruffly, "and I got to get to town before nightfall."

Goodness, I am beginning to feel like a girl in a story-book." "It is no laughing matter," he said, a little gruffly. "Does it look like it when I come rushing out here with two loaded pistols and come near to shooting you? Come up to the house. We will talk it all over, and then, " he hesitated for a moment, "then I'll go over and see your mother." He took her arm and led her up to the house.
Brende had been trying to raise Robins but there was still no answer. We did not discuss what might be the trouble. Of what use could such talk be? But it perturbed us, for imagination can picture almost anything. Georg even felt the strain of it, for he said almost gruffly: "Stop it, father. I don't think you should call attention to us so much.
Rachel diplomatically echoed the tone of Mrs. Maldon, but more brightly, with a more frankly humorous smile "We were, indeed!" But her smile was a masterpiece of duplicity, somewhat strange in a girl so downright; for beneath it burned hotly her anger against the brute Julian. "Well, there it is!"
