"Where's the girls?" he asked. "Gone," said Conward, sulkily. "Couldn't expect 'em to stick around all night to say good bye, could you, and you sleeping off your drunk?" Dave raised his hand to his head. A sense of disgrace was already upon him. Then he suddenly turned in anger on Conward. "You put this up on me," he cried. "You made a fool of me. I've a mind to bash your skull in for you."
Oswyn had seated himself on a low chair by the bed; he kept his head averted, as does a priest who hears confessions; and he gazed with absent eyes at the fire which burned sulkily, at the row of medicine-bottles on the mantelpiece, at all the dreary paraphernalia of a sick-room.

'It is a pretty, bewitching little demd countenance, and it should not be out of humour, for it spoils its loveliness, and makes it cross and gloomy like a frightful, naughty, demd hobgoblin. 'I am not to be brought round in that way, always, rejoined Madame, sulkily.
Feltram did not seem to take the slightest interest in the matter. Sulkily and drowsily he was leaning with his elbow on his knee, and it seemed thinking of something far away. Sir Bale could not wait to count them any longer. He reckoned them on the bench, and found two thousand.
"Now, Boyne," she said, "I am not going to have any more nonsense. I want to know why you did it." The judge and Ellen had already conjectured clearly enough, and Boyne did not fear them. But he looked at his younger sister as he sulkily answered, "I am not going to tell you before Lottie." "Come in here, then," said his mother, and she led him into the next room and closed the door.
I spent most of the time out of doors, rather than in the gamal, for there many of the dancers of the evening lay in all directions and in most uncomfortable positions, beside and across each other, snoring, shivering or staring sulkily into dark corners.
"Pay!" cried the landlord, leading the way with his light sulkily into the bedroom. "You'll find your score on the slate when you go downstairs. I wouldn't have taken you in for all the money you've got about you if I'd known your dreaming, screeching ways beforehand. Look at the bed. Where's the cut of a knife in it? Look at the window is the lock bursted?
"This extraordinary story in the 'Blade' refers to you, does it not?" inquired the banker, shoving the paper before the young man. "Yes, sir," Bert admitted sulkily. "You and your friend, Bayliss, have been making fools of yourselves, have you?" "No, sir," cried Bert. "We were made fools of by others."
He was not so highhanded as his mother, and he once sulkily told her that she might better have taught her granddaughter to cook before she sent Johanna away. Olaf could have borne a good deal for the sake of prunes spiced in honey, the secret of which Johanna had taken away with her.
"You fellows wouldn't put me out in the cold again!" dared Hen. "Wouldn't we?" retorted Greg Holmes. "I just wanted a tramp, and took one," replied Hen sulkily. "That's too thin!" snapped Dan Dalzell. "Then you fellows can invent your own story," offered Hen. "Out with him, fellows!" called Harry Hazelton, making a dive for Hen. "Don't you dare!" blustered Dutcher tremulously.
