The Major's blood ran warm through many generations. "I say, Beau, did you put a millstone in my knapsack?" inquired Bland suddenly. His face was flushed, and there was a streak of wet dust across his forehead. "If you did, it was a dirty joke," he added irritably. Dan laughed. "Now that's odd," he replied, "because there's one in mine also, and, moreover, somebody has stuck penknives in my boots.
Clemency will naturally not wish to have me a member of the household in the existing state of things." "Clemency will wish it. Of course you are going to stay, Elliot." "I don't feel as if I could, Doctor Gordon." "Nonsense!" "It will naturally not be very pleasant for me," James said, coloring. "Why not?" asked Gordon irritably. "You are not a love-sick girl."
But will it do you any more good to devour it with your eyes than with your teeth? Your reasoning has in it neither sense nor energy." "Then don't you despair?" I cried irritably. "No, certainly not," was the Professor's firm reply. "What! do you think there is any chance of safety left?"
"Caracalla," he went on, looking at Melissa, "is terrible in his passions, no one can deny that; but of late severe suffering has made him irritably sensitive, and he insists on the strictest virtue in all who are about his person. He pays no heed to female beauty, and this sweet child, at any rate, will find many protectors.
"Ten pounds eleven," said Paul irritably. He dreaded what was coming. "And he gives me a scrattlin' twenty-five, an' his club this week! But I know him. He thinks because YOU'RE earning he needn't keep the house any longer. No, all he has to do with his money is to guttle it. But I'll show him!" "Oh, mother, don't!" cried Paul. "Don't what, I should like to know?" she exclaimed.
Old Heron, who had settled on the estate of Diodoros and lived there among his birds, less surly than of old, still produced his miniature works of art; he would shake his head over those strange offerings, and once when he found himself alone with old Dido, now a freed-woman, he said, irritably: "If that little fool had done as I told her she would be empress now, and as good as Julia Domna.
That's just what he's looking for, boy, with all those thirty-thirties behind him, and he'll have plenty of witnesses there to swear us into Yuma, too. I tell you, Jeff, I've been thinking this over, and I believe my boss is right." "Sure," said Creede, showing his teeth in the twilight. "Say, let up on that, will you?" exclaimed Hardy irritably. "I'm talking business.
The action struck her as an unwarranted criticism on her care of the books, and she said irritably: "It's not my fault if they're dirty." He turned around and looked at her with reviving interest. "Ah then you're not the librarian?" "Of course I am; but I can't dust all these books. Besides, nobody ever looks at them, now Miss Hatchard's too lame to come round." "No, I suppose not."
"And he's lying here instead of being out on the watch for blacklegs?" exclaimed Pelle quite irritably. "You're a nice leader!" "Do you suppose any boy would be so mean as to be a blackleg?" said Lasse Frederik. "No, indeed! But people fetch their own milk from the carts." "Then you must get the drivers to join you." "No, we don't belong to a real union, so they won't support us."
Lambert was rather severe on the young men of the day. "I don't know what has come to them," he would remark irritably; "young men nowadays call their father 'governor, and speak to him as though he were their equal in age.
