Though during a week the sky has remained unclouded, the sea has for several days been growing angrier; and now the muttering of its surf sounds far into the land. They say that it always roughens thus during the period of the Festival of the Dead the three days of the Bon, which are the thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth of the seventh month by the ancient calendar.
"Don't stand talking to him. Hit him a kick!" Friesshardt became angrier every minute. "My orders is," he said again, "to arrest them as don't bow down to the hat, and for two pins, young feller, I'll arrest you. So which is it to be? Either you bow down to that there hat or you come along of me." Tell pushed him aside, and walked on with his chin in the air.
'You did not mistake, said Richard stupidly. 'Then I did him no wrong, rejoined the youth, and once more would have gone his way. But Richard, angrier than ever at finding he had given him such an easy advantage, moved with his movement, and kept rudely in front of him, provoking a quarrel in clownish fashion, it must be confessed.
Drawn by an irresistible fascination, Magdalen followed them again, gained on them as they reached the gate, and heard the voices of the two children raised in angry dispute which way they wanted to walk next.

In her despair she sent out this beseeching cry: "I appeal to the Church universal whether I ought to abjure or not!" Erard exclaimed: "You shall abjure instantly, or instantly be burnt!" She glanced up, at those awful words, and for the first time she saw the stake and the mass of red coals redder and angrier than ever now under the constantly deepening storm-gloom.
I never saw him angrier than once when a visitor staying in the house, going out with his gun one day suddenly threw it up to his shoulder and brought down a passing swallow.
Much may happen in these rapid times in the course of an hour and a half. While John was keeping his vigil on the sandstone rock, Betty was having an interview with Mr. Scobell which was to produce far-reaching results, and which, incidentally, was to leave her angrier and more at war with the whole of her world than she could remember to have been in the entire course of her life.
When his mother found him with traces of tears on his cheeks; and he was silent when she spoke to him, and had a strange look in his eyes as if they were gazing at some distant object, she was angrier than ever with the sea, for she knew that the thought of it had returned to him and that it would be harder than ever to keep him.
