"Thou hast no feeling, Joan; thou hast a heart of stone," she cried, bursting into weak weeping. "Why canst thou not give me help or counsel of some sort? What are we to do? What is to become of us? Wouldst have us all stay shut up in this miserable place to die together?" Joan did not smile at the feeble petulance of the half-distracted woman. Indeed it was no time for smiles of any sort.
Oh! if one could only present him with the collar and blue ribbon complete! " Cut his head off, and have done with him!" she said aloud, whipping up the pony, and laughing at her own petulance. Who could live in such a house such an atmosphere? As she drove along, her mind was all in a protesting whirl.
With the first petulance Milton Hibbard had shown during the trial he now turned to the prisoner's counsel and said: "Take the witness." "No cross-examination?" asked Nathan Goodbody, with a smile. "No." Then Betty flung one look back at the Elder, and fled to her mother and hid her flushed face on Mary Ballard's bosom.
A few minutes later Charrington took her to the door of the "den," where Knight received her with casual cheerfulness. "This is an unexpected pleasure!" he said. "Don't let us bother with conventionalities, Don!" she exclaimed, her emotion showing itself in petulance. "I had to come and have an understanding with you." "An understanding?"
Well, then, this constraint imposed upon civilized man in the expression of his feelings, confers upon him already a certain degree of authority over them, or at least develops in him a certain aptitude to rise above the purely passive state of the soul, to interrupt this state by an initiative act, and to stop by reflection the petulance of the feelings, ever ready to pass from affections to acts.
The very evil he had apprehended had come to pass, and she could well understand how, on his return in a horror- stricken, distracted state of mind, the childish petulance of his wife had worried him into loss of temper, so that he hardly knew what he said. And what must not his agony of remorse be?
"Good boy," rejoined his companion, throwing his arm about the Eastern lad's neck; "we'll come out all right. I'm confident of it." "Unless the real Con Divver, Jim Hickey and Ted Rafter happen to show up," put in the practical Walt, with a half-grin. "Botheration take you, Walt," exclaimed Ralph, in comic petulance; "you're the original laddie with a bucket of cold water.
He had proved himself a more gallant fighter than any in her kingdom; and had done it, as he had said, in her honour. So, as her admiration for Michel grew, her debt to Angele became burdensome; and, despite her will, there stole into her mind the old petulance and smothered anger against beauty and love and marriage.
Often he would be surrounded by an eager circle, all waiting to be served; holding boat-spades, pikeheads, harpoons, and lances, and jealously watching his every sooty movement, as he toiled. Nevertheless, this old man's was a patient hammer wielded by a patient arm. No murmur, no impatience, no petulance did come from him.
So do you cultivate a judicious taciturnity! for really nobody is going to put up with petulance in an ugly and toothless woman of your age, as I tell you for your own good." It always vexes people to be told anything for their own good. So what followed happened quickly. A fleece of cloud slipped over the moon.
