"You threatened me," he said resentfully, but with drunken dignity. "You were going to smash me; I wish to say that now you can smash and be damned! I have the money " "Oh, come, Marsh! Don't you feel cut up about that; I didn't mean to make you mad; you mustn't hold that against me!" "You come to my office to-morrow and get your money," said Langham, still with dignity.
Those who did not accept it wrathfully, as the preacher, or resentfully, as Druggist Gray, from whom the experimenter bought none of his chemicals, or humorously, as the doctor and many of higher intelligence, had a sort of sneaking hope that something might come of it. If the rain man could stir up a commotion and fetch a soaker, it would be the salvation of that country.
"It's a shame that fortune should be so unequally divided!" cried the young man, resentfully. "Here's Edward with an income of thirty thousand a year, and I, his own brother, only a year or two younger, can't boast a fourth part as many hundreds!" "Oh, Val! your father left you better off than that!" "But so much of it went, Anne," was the gloomy answer.
He was very amiable." Soames uttered a rather queer sound. A suspicion of the old deep truth that men were judged in this world rather by what they were than by what they did crept and knocked resentfully at the back door of his mind. "I know there was a superstition to that effect," he muttered. "One must do him justice now he's dead."
"Oh, you don't like my style, eh?" he came back resentfully. "All you want out of me is my money." "No, I don't!" she retorted. "I don't want your money! I want a share in that mine!" "Say, who are you, anyway?" burst out Rimrock explosively. "Are you some wise one that's on the inside?" "That's none of your business," she answered sharply, "you were satisfied when you took all my money."
She turned in astonishment from her task of putting some books tidy on his study shelves. Then she coloured half angrily. "I must put my hair up some time, I suppose," she said resentfully. There was something in the abruptness of her father's question, no less than in the new closeness and sharpness of eye with which he was examining her, that annoyed her.
Out-of-the-way plantations fared no better in the question of service. John Wynter, the head agent of the settlement at Richmonds Island in Maine, wrote thus resentfully in 1639, to Mr.
"Their minds would be better prepared.... They'd have their appropriate things to say. They have been educated by the tradition of service and '71." Then he spoke almost resentfully. "The older men ought to go before you boys. Who is to carry on if a lot of you get killed?" Hugh reflected. "In the stiffest battle that ever can be the odds are against getting killed," he said.
Hewel, who was very far from understanding such reasoning, and wept resentfully over the letter. Why should Lady Tintern snatch her only daughter away from her in order to marry her to a fool? Mrs. Hewel was of opinion that a sensible young man like Peter would be a better match.
In his negligent clothes he looked quite slouchy, she had felt that evening, as if he had long ceased to have any interest in his person. "It's all that beast of a woman," she said resentfully to Cairy, remembering the slender, quite elegant brother of the old days. "And to think of his saddling himself with her brat and lugging her around with him!
