'You make my head ache by remaining in that position, Edmund, said Mrs Sparkler, raising her eyes to him after another minute; 'you look so aggravatingly large by this light. Do sit down. 'Certainly, my dear, said Mr Sparkler, and took a chair on the same spot.
You have more influence over him than any one else. Do come, dear child, if you possibly can." In face of the last letter it was impossible to say no. Darsie was not sure that she wanted to say no; on the other hand, she was aggravatingly uncertain if she wanted to say yes.
There did not seem any particular task for me to undertake; the people whom it was my business to help, if I could, seemed unaccountably and aggravatingly prosperous and independent. Not only did no one seem to want my opinion, but I did not feel that I had any opinions worth delivering. Who does not know the frame of mind?

As in Nature, so in the affairs of human life, and the Rendells found another example of the truth of the old adage in the month following Lilias's engagement.

"I never forget a figure which has idiosyncrasy," he added, with a bland eye wandering over the priest's gaunt form.
You shall have the pleasure, Mademoiselle and you, Monsieur of seeing with me what that careless person left behind him." He had laid the thing on the table, and now he tapped it, aggravatingly, with his hand. But the strain was over for me.
But I haven't told you the worst. The Creature is on his way out to Canada now. He may arrive here at any minute. And they are all so aggravatingly delighted over it." "What do you suppose he feels like?" asked the Young Man reflectively. "Well," said the Girl frankly, "I've been too much taken up with my own feelings to worry about his. But I daresay they are pretty much like mine.

It did not wear away, as he had supposed it would, but was becoming an obsessive factor in his thoughts.
