Soon after, Achleitner entered with an anxious, questioning expression in his eyes, and Ingigerd dismissed Frederick most ungraciously. There was a look of hatred in her glance. But scarcely was Frederick outside in the fog with the knob of the door still in his hand, when it seemed to him as if ropes and chains, the chains of an enslaved man, were dragging him back to the girl's couch.
Certain it is that the firing of the first shots on the Yangtsze found him alert and issuing private orders to his followers. It was inevitable that he should have been recalled to office and actually within one hundred hours of the first news of the outbreak the Court sent for him urgently and ungraciously.
The commandant, who was marching with Merle and Gerard between the advance guard and the carriage, suddenly growled out: "Ten thousand thunders! would you believe that the general detached us from Mayenne to escort two petticoats?" "But, commandant," remarked Gerard, "when we came up just now and took charge I observed that you bowed to them not ungraciously." "Ha! that's the infamy of it.
That noble Lord, too, who felt that the sacrifice which he had considerately made, in giving up the supremacy of station to Lord Rockingham, had, so far from being duly appreciated by his colleagues, been repaid only with increased alienation and distrust, could hardly be expected to make a second surrender of his advantages, in favor of persons who had, he thought, so ungraciously requited him for the first.
You're a darling to say you'll wear it," and putting her arm round Laura's shoulders, Chinky gave her a hearty kiss. This was more than Laura had bargained for; she freed herself, ungraciously. "Oh, don't! now mind, a red stone, and for the third finger of the left hand." "Yes. And Laura, I've thought of something to put inside. SEMPER EADEM ... do you like that, Laura?" "It'll do.
The sight gave me a start, for I had neither heard nor seen him approach, though the way I had come was within my field of vision. He must have made a wide circle through the woods. His mild eyes were upon me. "Good morning, Monsieur," said he, in a dry, small voice. "Good morning," said I, rather ungraciously.
"He has either painted his face, or he is consumedly sick," thought the old Judge. The light had shown more effectually upon his features as he turned to leave the room with a low bow, and they looked, he fancied, unnaturally chalky. "D him!" said the Judge ungraciously, as he began to scale the stairs: "he has half-spoiled my supper."
"Well give me all the dope, and tell me where I'm to come," he yielded ungraciously. "I've told you all I am going to tell. All the important 'dope' you'll get first-hand by being present when the thing happens. The place to come is the Hotel Grantham room eleven-forty-two at eight-thirty sharp." To this Barlow grudgingly agreed.
Kebby?" he asked, in the loud tones used to deaf people. "Oh, he's home," grumbled Mrs. Kebby ungraciously, "sittin' afore the fire like Solomon in all his glory. What d'ye want to know for?" "I saw him an hour ago," explained Blinders, "and I thought he looked ill." "So he do, like a corpse. What of that? We've all got to come to it some day.

"Give me a nice rope to hang myself with," said Hamilton ungraciously, "that would be more to the point. Here, for the Lord's sake let me be, or I shall go mad." He brushed aside all help, clambered up the steamer's high black side again, and went down to his room.
