But here in this solitude just at the most critical moment of one's work and it's all very well but one can't treat a young lady, when she is actually in one's house, as if she were the tongs! He stood beside the window, with his hands on his sides, moodily looking out.
The leaves in the bluff rustled in a faint, cold wind, and the smoke of the fire drifted round the men. For a while Benson sat moodily watching his companion, and then, wrapping his blanket round him, lay down and turned away his head.
For stage-struck Seventeen, then, moodily pressing her pink organdy while mentally sweeping a triumphant course through a crowded ballroom in a sophisticated black model from Paris; or for dark-hued Martha who thumps out on a luckless shirt the damage she plans to inflict on a certain Pullman porter when he shows up at her back door again, provide an iron that cannot over-heat.
But after he got into office, then he would show them! He would take orders from no one. He sat down again and moodily surveyed the future. In the days which followed, another mental struggle was taking place in the Remington family. Poor Genevieve was like a woman struck by lightning. She felt that her whole structure of life had crashed about her ears.
We'll starve, an' we ain't got no water. I can drink about a bucketful right now," moodily replied his companion. "Well, yo're right; but mebby we can find food an' water."

I heard the two men tip-toeing away through the laurels. He, too, seemed to catch the sound, for he turned his head sharply. But at that moment Miss Belcher's voice called him back into the room. A minute later he reappeared with a loaf of bread in either hand, and walked moodily past my bush without turning his head or observing me. I faced about cautiously and looked after him.
No, that at least was plainly impossible. I got up and walked about. Then for a change I paused by the window. I had stood a good while thus moodily looking out at the casement, when I became aware of two that walked slowly up the street and halted together before the great iron-studded door which led to the Red Tower.
