"You are in right on't, master," said Tom, the thatcher; "you are a hearty man, farmer," said John Plane, the carpenter. "Come along, boys," said Tim Brick, the mason: so they all went merrily to work, fortified with a good dinner. There was only one drunken surly fellow that refused; this was Dick Guzzle, the smith.
Four hours until he became public property! 'Solicitor's divorce suit! A surly, dogged anger replaced that dead feeling within him. 'Damn them all! he thought; 'I won't run away. I'll act as if nothing had happened. And in the sweltering heat of Fleet Street and Ludgate Hill he walked all the way to his City Club, lunched, and went back to his office.
"Do you call this railroading?" he rasped, pointing backward to the menace. "Don't you know that we are on 201's time?" Bradford scowled in surly antagonism. "That blamed hot box " he began, but Lidgerwood cut him off short. "The hot box has nothing to do with the case. You are not hired to take chances, or to hold out regular trains.
The Danes, on the other hand, in the northern part of these provinces, still resist Prussianization. They keep to themselves and their language, send their children to school in Denmark, and resist all attempts at social and racial incorporation. They are troublesome, as an independent and surly daughter-in-law might be troublesome.
In fact, if a good deal of determination and promptitude rendered Porteous, in one respect, fit to command guards designed to suppress popular commotion, he seems, on the other, to have been disqualified for a charge so delicate, by a hot and surly temper, always too ready to come to blows and violence; a character void of principle; and a disposition to regard the rabble, who seldom failed to regale him and his soldiers with some marks of their displeasure, as declared enemies, upon whom it was natural and justifiable that he should seek opportunities of vengeance.
If you do not come to terms with me, you are lost. I give you only this chance. You can do nothing. You can not harm Miss Dalton now, for I have found you out, and your miserable trick is of no use any longer. Come, now; decide at once. I will give you just ten minutes. If you come to terms, you are safe; if not, you go to jail." "Who'll take me!" said Leon, in a surly voice.
He was too big to give offence to an impudent little minx like me. Besides, I wanted him to help me, and after a bit I told him so. Archie my cousin, you know; he was only a boy then was mad on card-playing at that time. And I was real worried about him. I knew he would get into a hole sooner or later, and I begged my surly Englishman to keep an eye on him. Oh, I was a fool!

"You have been listening," said the priest, calmly. "I see it in your face. You have heard all."
Leaning against a lamp-post support, he began singing, in a loud and boisterous manner 'Watchman hic tell us of the hic night. Now it happened that the watchman was one of those surly ruffians who never stop to remonstrate with a poor fellow, in whom wine has triumphed over wit.
"So much the better, for now they could see all the famous folk enter. Army, Navy, Law, and Letters are all coming to church. To-morrow is the indictment."

"I also," agreed her lover.
