Gerard avowed himself to have been so long goaded and stimulated by these considerations so extremely nettled with displeasure and bitterness at seeing the obstinate wretch still escaping his just judgment as to have formed the design of baiting a trap for the fox, hoping thus to gain access to him, and to take him unawares.
"And when the Duke does break loose," replied Louis, somewhat nettled, "I warrant you will see their faces soon enough, and remember them for the rest of your life." The half-jesting remark was thus destined to become a gloomy prophecy. This was the only important action daring the campaign.
That nettled Rick a little. The idea of assuming that a mere cat, even a champion Persian, could win a fight with Dismal! Then common sense got the better of him. The unhappy truth was, Shah could lick Dismal with no strain at all. "No damage," he replied. "Except to me. The war took place on my stomach." Jan was supposed to look sorry, but she didn't. She giggled. Barby giggled, too.
Aleck felt nettled, drew himself up, and returned the stare before making a similar inspection of the young naval officer. "Whose boat's that, boy?" said the latter, haughtily. "Mine," was Aleck's prompt reply. "What ship's that, middy I don't mean the cutter, of course?" "Well, of all the insolence " began the lad.

"Oh, they are your charge," returned Lord Keith, with a twinkle in his eye. "Besides, most of them are lads, and what with school, sea, and India, they will be easily disposed of."
The marshal was a deal nettled, and, turning, he said to Miller: "I am much obliged to you." "You are quite welcome. I hope you will pay my bill as you agreed to do." "Why did you deceive me?" "I did not," replied Miller; "you deceived yourself. I said nothing to deceive you." "All right," replied the marshal, "I will settle your bill, and you may return in the morning, if you choose."

But this being a yet more important question than the other, I laid the inconveniences of it before him in a letter. This nettled him, and he made a mere jest of my letter.

"Why, then, he would be off his head," answered I: "and there are plenty here to make him feel at home." In truth I was nettled; jealous, as a lad in his first friendship is quick to be.
