It is a compact little tree, not more than two to three yards high here, and all closely squeezed up together. Perhaps they grew more aggressively where he was.
Sary, Ellen, Marg'reet, Jos'phine and Sybilly were also resplendent, in their way. Their carroty hair was tied with ribbons quite aggressively new, their freckles shone with maternal scrubbing, and there was a hint of home-made "crochet-lace" beneath each stiffly starched dress.
The near and dominant things were constantly those tremulous, fleeing billows of grass, the straight strong trees, the sullen rocks, the silent, shivering water. "Hoo-ee-ow!" It was too vast, too urgent. Waiting, ready, it lay there aggressively, like a challenge.
He spoke harshly, even aggressively, and as if combating some undeveloped argument of La Mothe's. A burst of temper may not convince a man's own conscience, or quiet its uneasiness, but it silences its voice for a time as declamation can always silence pleading.

"Oh, let up on all that talk, fellows, and watch what Max does," Steve broke in, impatiently. "And," remarked Owen Hastings, speaking for the first time, "if it should turn out to be any sort of a wild animal, look out how you shoot."
"The moment for that has gone by." "Very well." Karloff's shoulders settled; his jaws became aggressively angular; some spirit of his predatory forebears touched his face here and there, hardening it. "I wish to speak in regard to your daughter." "Enough! Take my honor and be gone!" The colonel's voice was loud and rasping.
I glanced furtively at the Honorable Betty. "He knows all?" asked her Highness, her chin tilted aggressively. "Everything." "What must you think of me?" There was that in her Highness' tone which dared me to express any opinion that was not totally complimentary. "I am not sufficiently well-born to pass an opinion upon your Highness' actions," I replied, with excusable irony.
