Sidney, not perhaps much regretting the loss of his share in this rather inglorious shooting party, went down to the water-side, accompanied by Captain Norris, to meet Hollock and the other commanders. As the Count stepped on shore he scowled ominously, and looked very much out of temper. "What has come to Hollock?" whispered Captain Patton, a Scotchman, to Sidney.
Otis said he was going to speak, and his companion again warned him against being irritated by interruptions from the opposition. He soon rose, and was speaking with great fluency and powerful logic, when Timothy Ruggles interrupted him; he grew warm in reply, and his friend pulled his coat slightly. Otis scowled as he turned round, but taking the hint moderated his tone. Soon afterwards, Mr.
But there was nothing wrong in it, any more than in Amaryllis clinging to the embrace of Strephon in the whirling of a waltz. Custom reconciles to everything. On stepping into the small boat I had my first difficulty with Albert. I trod on his tail. The dog looked reproachfully, but did not moan. His mistress scowled, and warned me to take care what I was about for an awkward fool.
And now she turned to address the woman, though in language quite beyond my comprehension, stabbing her staff at us all four in turn. "No, gammer no!" cried the girl passionately, but at the ancient woman's commanding gesture she fell mute, though she scowled in sullen defiance and I saw the knife glitter where she gripped it, half concealed by a fold of her petticoat.
"What difference does it make so long as the shells won't sink?" he asked. "We're ready," replied Dick Rollins. "It's Shelburne holding things up; she wants smooth water, of course. It suits me, though. Things will soften up by sunset." "Sunset!" Deacon scowled at the western skies. "Well, sunset isn't so far off as it was." Word came, as a matter of fact, shortly after five o'clock.
"Probably, to save the risk of that, they are not supplied with ammunition," I rejoined. "This is the way in which the Spaniards obtain their recruits. The poor fellows are thus marched off to be slaughtered; unless they can contrive to run away, which they certainly will do if they have the opportunity." Saluting the sergeant, who only scowled at us in return, we rode on ahead of the party.
Here he took the circus pictures from his breast, where they had been much flattened during the several demonstrations of family affection in which they had been involved. "Here's a picture for each of you." Billy seemed to approve of the monkey, but Tom scowled and said, "What do I care for an elephant's head, when I seen the whole animal at the show, an' everythin' else besides?"
The boy sat down opposite the engineer, while the latter read the message. "That Miss Brock is fine, isn't she?" Glover scowled. "I took a despatch over to the car yesterday and she gave me a dollar," continued Solomon. "What car?" "Her car. She's in that Pittsburg party." "The young lady that sat here a moment ago?" "Sure; didn't you know? There she goes now to the car again."
He took a porch chair while she departed to find out. "If you please," said the maid, suddenly reappearing, "Miss Mix is setting a Plymouth, and will you step right down?" "Setting a " scowled Anthony. "Plymouth," supplied the maid, mildly. Anthony eyed her suspiciously, but there was evidently nothing concealed behind her innocence of manner.
The king jumped at the offer, but in return bestowed upon Wolsey the old manor of Richmond, the favorite residence of his father, Henry VII. It was observed, when the great Cardinal was going home, after this interview with his royal master, that he scowled and growled at his followers, and belabored the poor mule that he rode most unmercifully.
