As you are in such a hurry, don't let us keep you. Mrs.
The man had been willing to eat his bread; he had shown no offence at anything; what the deuce ! He pondered over it, all the way to Old Chester. When Martha, according to the custom of wives, inquired categorically concerning his day in Philadelphia, he dragged out most irritatingly vague answers.

Madame Beattie was irritatingly slow.
I do not quite know how far on it was into the night when I was roused by Fatima's voice repeating my name over and over again, in tones of subdued terror. I know nothing more irritatingly alarming, when one is young and nervous, than to be roused thus by a voice in which the terror is evident and the cause unknown. "'What's the matter? I asked.
