And, suddenly, Lupin perceived great tears rolling down the woman's sad face. Whether or not it was the sight of those tears that made Daubrecq lose his head, with a brusque movement he clutched the woman and drew her to him. She repelled him, with a violence full of hatred.
Madame de Gabry encouraged me to proceed, and I resumed: "Monsieur de Lessay was brusque with men and courteous to ladies. He used to kiss the hand of my mother, whom the customs of the Republic and the Empire had not habituated to such gallantry.
Maybe it will get there almost in time if it is mailed to-morrow, but the doctor says I must go to the infirmary for a day or two. If you would please send it away for me in the morning if you have the money to buy it, Lila, I'm sorry." The doctor walked in alert and brusque as usual but gentle too. "Now for my captive," she said, "time's up.
In the morning Kate drove down to the camp at daylight the few sheep that had not eaten enough of the saltpeter to kill them, or had missed it altogether only a small percentage of the valuable herd that had started up the mountain. Brusque, businesslike, she was as different from the girl who had clung to Hugh for love and sympathy as could well be imagined.
Ernest broached this to Pryer, who treated it as something too outrageous to be even thought of. Nothing, he said, could more tend to lower the dignity of the clergy and bring the Church into contempt. His manner was brusque, and even rude. Ernest ventured a little mild dissent; he admitted it was not usual, but something at any rate must be done, and that quickly.

Steele, in the "Tattler," attributes her disorder to her stage habit of absorbing herself in imaginary great personages. While Mrs. Tofts reigned in Clayton's opera, Signora Francesca Margarita de l'Epine, a native of Tuscany, sang Italian airs before and after it. Tall, swarthy, brusque in manner, she had a voice and a style that made her famous.
I have written it down as it sounded at the moment, Sue, suky, suky, five notes, the first longer than the others, and all of them brusque, loud, and musical, though with something of a warbler quality. It surprised me to find how the migratory movement lagged for the first half of the month.
The woman took the brief note which he scribbled after examining her, and said dejectedly: "She won't want me long no one does, least of all Ducharme." Sommers laughed. "Guess I better go straight down," she remarked more hopefully as she left. He should have taken the woman to the cottage, he reflected after she had gone, instead of sending her in this brusque manner. He had not seen Mrs.
The robust form of Comrade Ossipon, striding brusque and shadowy across the shop, squatted in a corner obediently; but this obedience was without grace. He fumbled nervously—and suddenly in the sound of a muttered curse the light behind the glazed door flicked out to a gasping, hysterical sigh of a woman.
