When Sir Thomas, indignant at the proposal, refused to act under the other's authority, Sir Edward brought the question very promptly to an issue, by writing, and handing to Sir Thomas, an order on service. Both officers were naturally warm, and Sir Thomas, disappointed as well as irritated, and who was taken so entirely by surprise, had by this time quite lost his temper.
Shutting her eyes in a rail-way carriage to open them when she pleased was child's play. This man was blind though his eyes were wide open. 'Torp, is that you? They said you were coming. Dick looked puzzled and a little irritated at the silence. 'No; it's only me, was the answer, in a strained little whisper. Maisie could hardly move her lips. 'H'm! said Dick, composedly, without moving.
One of the porters had furnished wine to shorten the hours of waiting; but it could only be drunk in secret, so there were no goblets. The jars wandered from mouth to mouth, and every sip was welcome, for the wind blew keenly, and besides, the smoke irritated their throats.
It is the Epictetus who smiles when the last vestige of physical welfare is removed. The time came, in the third year, when this thinking began to produce results in the Warren Street place. The tide of patronage dropped a little below what it had been at its best since he had been there. This irritated and worried him.

But pardon me if I say that it is ill played on a fasting man."
And what irritated him as much as anything else was the fact that he was swimming toward the right quarter of the schooner, throwing away his energy. Just then Caradoc gave a distant call, "To the left." With deep relief, Madden rounded back toward his goal. He had swung about some unseen cape of algae. He looked back toward the dock.
In the meanwhile, the feeling of distrust which was gaining on my mind warned me to remember the value of reserve in holding intercourse with a stranger. She seemed to be irritated by my silence. "If the decision doesn't rest with you," she asked, "why did you tell me to stay in the waiting-room?"
My feelings, as I have before said, were anything but cordial towards him, and this renewed violence and threatening manner had its effect.

Irritated, therefore, at his angry language, I replied "Go for the water yourself."
The Indians think the English rather mad to go crusading against him in the Soudan, and they may soon get irritated at the waste of Indian lives at Suakin, when we want our best men on the N.W. frontier; but, for the rest, they do not concern themselves about remote Arab tribes.
