Walter's father had been a younger son, and for many years the elder brother, a morose and selfish man, had lived at Restlands, often vowing that none of his kin should ever set foot in the place, and all out of a native malice and churlishness, which discharged itself upon those that were nearest to him.
He had rigidly insisted on gun practice; he had keyed up the marines to a better spirit, and churlishness had been promptly punished. He was, in effect, what the sailors called a "rogue," or a "taut one" seldom smiling, gaunt of face but fearless of eye, and with a body free from fatigue.
This answered for a time; but the stern parents, observing the acquaintanceship, ordered the actor to leave the house and not to return. "How great was our despair!" relates Lowe. "We both desired to correspond, but through whom? Would the solitary man at the opposite table assist us? Despite his serious reserve and seeming churlishness, I believe he is not unfriendly.
"Let no one leave this place," said he, "until I have said what I want to say; for saving of ill-will among us; and growth of cheer and comfort. May be I have carried things too far, even to the bounds of churlishness, and beyond the bounds of good manners.
The schools were to be used for services until a temporary iron church could be obtained, for which Julius, to make up for his churlishness in withholding his own church, made the handsomer donation, and held out hopes of buying it afterwards for the use of Squattles End. Then, having Mr.
Carew, not accustomed to be unsuccessful in his applications, could by no means brook this churlishness of the parson, and thought it highly necessary, for the benefit of his community, that it should not go unpunished.
At nearly forty he was just learning the drab sulkiness and churlishness and black jealousy of the lover.... To her: "Why didn't you go out with that guy with the black mustache?" He still stared straight ahead. She was big-eyed, a tear showing. "Why, Billy " was all she answered. He clenched his hands to keep from bursting out with all the pitiful tears which were surging in his eyes.
"This is private property. You must have seen the notice at the gate, 'Trespassers will be prosecuted." "Yes, we did see it," Bertram answered, with his unruffled smile; "and thinking it an uncalled-for piece of aggressive churlishness, both in form and substance, why, we took the liberty to disregard it." Sir Lionel glared at him.
Yet, sensing in its very churlishness the sting of some old hurt, she answered him quietly, though with heightened colour: "If you expect nothing, you'll get nothing. That's one of the rules of the road." He checked himself in the act of turning away, and regarded her with a mixture of contempt and amusement, much as one might smile at the utterances of a child.
He frankly made the amende honorable for his suspicions and churlishness of the past, and himself I think insisted on his frank and friendly children calling her "Aunt Vivie."
