Why didn't ye come to me that evenin' at the haggard gate the way you always did? And me in throuble wi' all an' breaking me heart for a word from ye!" The dignified hero was gone for the nonce, and look and tone were those of a youthful and offended lover. Roseen immediately fired up too. "God give me patience!" she cried, "I never come acrass such a contrairy boy in me life!
"Bhoys," he explained, "contrairy tu my wishes, th' Docthor insists on comin' wid us this night. Now fwhat yez know 'bout that?" "Tried to shake me!" supplemented that gentleman tersely, waving his cigar at the last speaker. "What's this court's ruling?" A stern smile flitted over Yorke's high-bred features. "Appeal sustained," he announced decisively, "eh, Reddy?"
Couldn't stand it no longer, he couldn't. The tune it got on his narves, it did! If it hadn't 'a been for a sort o' reel ease he got takin' of it quick and slow like the Hoarperer he'd have gave in afore; so there was no pretence. It's all werry fine to say temp'ry insanity, but I tell you it's the contrairy when a beggar comes to his senses and drownds hisself.
And she'd a white star on her brow, I'll bet a penny?" The farrier leaned forward with his hands on his knees as he put this question, and his eyes twinkled knowingly. "Well; yes she might," said the butcher, slowly, considering that he was giving a decided affirmative. "I don't say contrairy."

'Yer've got to tell me stories all night, miles of 'em, said Lemuel, as he bestowed his small person on the floor, with his legs in the air.
'No, Mrs Richards, quite contrairy, returned Susan, 'and them two inspectors Tox and Chick, not intending to be on duty tomorrow, as I heard 'em say, me and Mid Floy will go along with you tomorrow morning, and welcome, Mrs Richards, if you like, for we may as well walk there as up and down a street, and better too.
Things allays happen so contrairy, if they've a chance; and it's an unnat'ral thing to have one bit o' your farm in one county and all the rest in another." "Ah, the Scantlands would go much better with Choyce's farm, especially as he wants dairyland and you've got plenty. I think yours is the prettiest farm on the estate, though; and do you know, Mrs.
And don't you fret your precious heart, my blessed Miss Laura, if the rain is contrairy. I dare say the clerk of the weather is one of them rampagin' radicals that's allus a goin' on about the bloated aristocracy, and he's done it a purpose to aggeravate you.
"Who is doing the work, Maria?" I asked, after a minute. "Miss Daisy," she said, "dere aint no happenin' at all widout de Lord lets it happen. Dere is much contrairy in dis world, fact, dere is! but I 'spect de Lord make it all up to us by'm by." And she turned her face full upon me with a smile of so much quiet resting in that truth, that for just a moment it silenced me.
"Dear me, Miss Kathleen!" she said; "if only Miss Alice was as good-natured as you, why, the house would go on wheels." "I often helped the servants at home," said Kathleen. "Why isn't Alice good-natured?" "She's made contrairy, I expect, miss." "Cut on the cross, I call it," said cook, who came forward at this juncture and offered a chair to Kathleen.
