"We've nothing to warm it with," said she sulkily. "And haven't we then? Granny was on the beach last night, and saw the old boat, she did. But Ditte was in the land of Nod, and never knew." "Is there more firewood?" "Hush, child, the coastguard might hear us. He's long ears and the Magistrate pays him for keeping poor folks from getting warm. That's why he himself takes all that's washed ashore."
'No sir, I'm no fool, said the ploughman sulkily, starting his horses to go up the furrow. In vain the other called out an attempted apology, and tried to delay him; the accustomed shout and clank of the chains was all he got in answer. The birds that had settled upon the field rose again at the return of the horses, and curveted in a long fluttering line above their heads.
"This dog here looks some like him," went on Wefers, sulkily. "But it ain't him. And I'll so report to the author'ties. I done what I come to do. The case is closed. And-and-if you folks ever want to sell your dog, why, well, I'll just go mortgage something and and buy him off'n you!" There were four of them; two gaudily-clad damsels and two men.
"What signify these fripperies?" she asked him, one day, "any more than did your coat of decent black? Are these also outward symbols?" "You may take them for such, madam," he answered sulkily. "You liked me not as I was " "And I like you less as you are," she broke in. "Cynthia, you mock me," he cried angrily. "Now, Heaven forbid! I do but mark the change," she answered airily.

"Well," said the detective in a vexed tone, "now she is going to disguise herself. Upon my word, I am getting puzzled! What can she be up to?" When Fanferlot was sulkily walking down the Faubourg St. Martin, he had fully made up his mind that he would not tell his wife of his discomfiture.
After dinner there was great talk about getting up a party to go on General Fairford's drag. Lady Carwitchet was in ecstasies and tried to coax me into joining. Leta declined positively. Tom accepted sulkily. The look in Lord Carwitchet's eye returned to my mind as I locked up my rubies that night. It made him look so like his mother! I went round my fastenings with unusual care.

He gazed at them sulkily, put them aside, drew another plate before him, and remarked to Mabel: "You know we are moving into the vicarage to-morrow? We are giving an At Home to-morrow week. You will come."
With these words he went off, bearing himself sturdily, with his head erect, for he had vanquished his feelings. His cassock rustled very gently against the borders of thyme. La Teuse, who for a moment had remained rooted to the spot where she was standing, sulkily picked up her basin and wooden spoon.
