The unidentified martyr on the left stared straight in front of him with callous indifference, and St. Roch looked aggravatingly plump for all his ostentatious plague-spot. The picture was worse than meaningless. It was insulting. It drove me out of the Public Gallery. Outside a grey mist veiled the hills and a fine penetrating rain was falling.
Once out of the valley of the Inn River, however, I find the uplands intervening between it and the valley of the Danube aggravatingly hilly. While eating my first luncheon in Austria, at the village of Altheim, the village pedagogue informs me in good English that I am the first Briton he has ever had the pleasure of conversing with.
He was always given up as lost, and yet always stepped in as the train was on the move, his manner aggravatingly unruffled, his talk pursuing the quiet tenor of his thought about engines or about what we should do the week after next. Now I am different. I have been catching trains all my life, and all my life I have been afraid I shouldn't catch them.
"It was not extravagant when you consider that anything in Venice in the way of a habitable house is called a palace, and that there are no servants to be tipped; that your lights, candles all, cost you first price only, and not the profit of the landlord, plus that of the concierge, plus that of the maid, plus several other small but aggravatingly augmentative sums which make your hotel bills seem like highway robbery.
If the guard was of the long suffering kind he would answer: "Take yo' head back in, up dah; you kno hits agin all odahs to do dat?" Then the voice would say, aggravatingly, "Oh, well, go to you Rebel , if you can't answer a civil question." Before the speech was ended the guard's rifle would be at his shoulder and he would fire.
The abatement of a snow-storm that grows to exceptional magnitude is regretted, for there is always the half-hope that this will be, since it has gone so far, the largest fall of snow ever known in the region, burying out of sight the great fall of 1808, the account of which is circumstantially and aggravatingly thrown in our way annually upon the least provocation.
"Perhaps there are a lot of us in the same fix," laughed Holcomb. "We, who know more than any men who ever lived, want to know still more! It may be, after all, that we know very little; even though we have solved the problem." His eyes twinkled again, aggravatingly. "Tell us, then!" from Harry, on impulse as always. "What is the Blind Spot?" But Holcomb shook his head.
It was plain that she had expected this reception, and knew how to meet it. She gazed at him serenely from big, gray eyes. She smiled and held her head a little to one side, her nose tiptilted a bit, giving her an aggravatingly teasing expression. "I tell you he's not here, and he won't be here." "Oh yes, he will.
"What else have you to urge against her?" "I would have married a girl without a slur, if I must have married," aggravatingly returned Miss Corny. "Slur?" "Slur, yes. Dear me, is it an honor the possessing a brother such as Richard?" Miss Corny sniffed. "Pigs may fly; but I never saw them try at it." "The next consideration, Cornelia, is about your residence.
Then, without the least expression of cordiality he spoke the thought in his mind. "That's a good nag remarkably good. You handle her tolerably. Didn't get your name?" "Tresler John Tresler." "Yes. New hereabouts?" The broad-shouldered man had an aggravatingly official manner. Tresler replied with a nod. "Ah! Remittance man?" At this the other laughed outright.
