Did he double back through the woods, or did he have time to ride out of sight before I got there?" The reappearance of his comrade affected the sergeant strangely.

Under his breath he muttered words that, to Miss Farrar, were unintelligible.
I've been taking the thing pretty easily up to now, thinking it would come all right in time. But if I'd known it was old Rad who had grabbed me, I tell you I should have sat sweating." "It takes a lot more than a mere nigger, with his head in clouts, to scare me," said Kettle truculently, "and I don't care tuppence what he may be by trade.
"Look you! my Lords Commissioners," cried Trade, truculently cocking its hat in the face of Admiralty, "I have had enough. You have taken my butcher, my baker, my candlestick-maker, nor have you spared that worthy youth, the 'prentice who was to have wed my daughter. My coachman, the driver of my gilded chariot, goes in fear of you, and as for my sedan-chair man, he is no more found.
When they had overpowered me, and I stood, my hands bound behind me, at the girl's side, she gazed commiseratingly at me. "It is too bad that you did not do as I bid you," she said, "for now it has happened just as I feared Buckingham has you." "Which is Buckingham?" I asked. "I am Buckingham," growled a burly, unwashed brute, swaggering truculently before me.
"Lies?" he repeated, a little truculently. Tallente looked him up and down. The station master was approaching now, the whistle had blown, their conversation was at an end.

The lank swarthy youth ground his teeth.

He was a giant in stature and build, with a massive head, a large red face from which a pair of little bloodshot eyes stared out truculently, and a bull neck which was several shades deeper in colour than his face.
They trooped towards the platform, driven in truculently by the haughty mate of Zangiacomo, who looked as though she were restraining herself with difficulty from punching their backs.

He was brutally eager to strike once, and truculently sure that his arm would make sure that once would be enough.
Each time the flag went by the little man yanked off his derby and turned truculently to see that Cutty did the same.
