To Theodora this seemed indifference to Arthur's distress, and she impatiently urged her father to take her to him at once. He would not have delayed had Arthur been alone; but since John was there, he thought their sudden arrival might be more encumbering than consoling, and decided to wait for a further account, and finish affairs that he could not easily leave.
It's enough to try the patience of a saint." "Oh, shut up!" said Marsh. He went over to his wife and laid a hand on her shoulder. She shook him off impatiently. "You've never done a stroke of work in your life, and you come here and think you can teach me everything."
"Perhaps you are not quite well," said Aurora. "You are a little pale." Apparently something in her youthfully patronising tone came as near irritating him as anything ever could. "What does it matter, whether I am hot or not?" he asked, almost impatiently, and again he passed his handkerchief over his forehead. "I did not mean to annoy you," Aurora answered with uncommon meekness.
There was the same insolent smile on the woman's face when I shook hands with her. Sir Percival paid no attention to me. He was looking impatiently at Madame Fosco, who showed no signs of leaving the room with me. The Count smiled to himself behind his book.

"I'm always ready for a visit to your only rival," said Sir Carey.
I don't wish any one, except you and me and Ralph, even to know that I have heard from him." "Not Cheditafa? Not the professor? Nor any of your friends?" "Of course not," said Edna, a little impatiently. "Don't you see how embarrassing, how impossible it would be for me to tell them anything, if I did not tell them everything? And what is there for me to tell them?
"Oh, rot, old man," said Captain Neil, impatiently, "you will come. Of course he'll come," he added to Phyllis. They moved together out of the room, Mrs. Vincent and Captain Neil leading the way. "Oh, Barry, aren't you going?" said Phyllis in a low voice. "How can I answer that?" he replied, almost in anger. "Do YOU ask me to go? Do YOU want me to go?"
I impatiently waited for my carriage, which was a long while coming, on account of the distance of the new chateau from the stables. I flung myself inside; and was driven as fast as possible. At the park gate I met another courier from M. de Ruffec, who stopped me, and said it was all over. I remained there more than half an hour absorbed in grief and reflection.
"You got my note?" he asked hoarsely. "Naturally I got it," Laverick answered impatiently, "and I came at once. Try and pull yourself together. Sit up and tell me what you are doing here, frightening your sister out of her life." Morrison groaned. "I came here," he muttered, "because I dared not go to my own rooms. I was afraid!" Laverick struggled with the contempt he felt.
