"Well, sir," said Elinor, who, though pitying him, grew impatient for his departure, "and this is all?" "Ah! no, have you forgot what passed in town? That infamous letter? Did she show it you?" "Yes, I saw every note that passed." Every line, every word was in the hackneyed metaphor which their dear writer, were she here, would forbid a dagger to my heart.
Again he stormed. "Did not I tell you so?" said Matta, starting out of his sleep. "All your storming is in vain; as long as you play you will lose. Believe me, the shortest follies are the best. Leave off, for the devil take me if it is possible for you to win." "Why?" said Cameran, who began to be impatient. "Do you wish to know?" said Matta; "why, faith, it is because we are cheating you."
'I am coming, I am coming, Captain, answered Meg; and in a moment or two the impatient commander whom she addressed made his appearance from the broken part of the ruins. He was apparently a seafaring man, rather under the middle size, and with a countenance bronzed by a thousand conflicts with the north-east wind.
This reminded Saint-Pol of his own words to De Gurdun; so he made haste to throw himself before the Queen, that he might still be pure in his devotion. 'My lady Berengère, he said ardently, 'take me for your soldier. I am a bad man, but surely not so bad as this. Let me fight him for you. The Queen shook her head, impatient. 'Hey!

"We have already impressed the best drivers," he said, "but it may be the general will consent to spare you one of them. Your work is so important that we must take good care of you." But when they were admitted to the general they found him in a more impatient mood than before. He really could not undertake to direct Red Cross workers or advise them.
He had seldom gone through such hours of keen torture as he had borne that day; and his face pale, worn, miserable seemed to have lost all its youth as he lay back in the great arm-chair and thought of the past. He rose at last with an impatient word. "It is madness to brood over what cannot be undone," he said to himself. "I must 'dree my own weird' without a word to any living soul.
"Dear comrade-in-arms, your position is indeed enviable. The faithful love of your daughters will tend you in your declining years. No misguided son, impatient for your end, will hunt you from your home. Alas, for me, to-morrow accompanied by a few faithful followers, I must go down to battle against my own flesh and blood."
He will speak to his daughter, and it will not depend upon me if you have not their reply this evening or to-morrow morning. Is it yes? Is it no?" "This evening? To-morrow?" exclaimed the Prince, shaking his head with a most comical gesture. "I can not decide like that. It is an ambush! I come to talk, to consult you." "And on what?" asked Madame Steno, with a vivacity almost impatient.
Randalin ventured to steal a glance at his face, then her own clouded with puzzlement. No haughtiness was in it, but a kind of impatient pain, and now he winced under the smart and stirred restlessly in his place. The lightness of the King's voice grated on her ear. "Then I think you must have got surprised, if this is true, which seems impossible."
"However, Frank, seeing that you are so impatient, I may as well admit it right now." "I knew it!" exclaimed Frank joyfully. "What is it, sir?" "If you will just hold your horses a bit, I'll tell you," was his commander's reply. "It seems to me that you promised to restrain your impatience." "So I did, sir," replied Frank, flushing a trifle. "I will try to remember that promise."
