It is a letter which, methinks, Fulk would not have read out of the family, of which I may call myself one," and he gave a sort of smirk at Agnes; "but he writes so crabbedly, that I, for one, cannot read two lines, and I would not willingly give it to a clerk, who might be less secret.
During the last fortnight my companion was the old mountain man, already mentioned, named Griffeth or Griffin I cannot tell which, as he was always called either "Hank" or "Griff." He was a crabbedly honest old fellow, and a very skilful hunter; but he was worn out with age and rheumatism, and his temper had failed even faster than his bodily strength.
Saunders makes boots of the latest style, and where old lapstone, with curious framed spectacles tied over his bleared eyes, has for the last forty years been seen at the window trimming welts, and mending every one's sole but his own; we will pass the four story wooden house that the landlord never paints that has the little square windows, and the little square door, and the two little iron hand rails that curl so crabbedly at the ends, and guard four crabbeder steps that give ingress and egress to its swarm of poor but honest tenants; we will pass the shop where a short, stylish sign tells us Mr.
Is Venus and her son so full of justice and severity? Venus. Pity it were that love should not be linkèd with indifferency. Then follow Colin's funeral, the punishment of the hard-hearted Thestylis, condemned to love a 'foul crooked churl' who 'crabbedly refuseth her, and the scene in which Mercury summons Paris before the Olympian tribunal.

"I'm glad he got it the way he did. I was afraid one time that girl over there was goin' to let him have it. I could see it in her eye." "You can see almost anything in a woman's eye if your imagination is working right," the doctor told him, rather crabbedly.
He had not known that the room was occupied; being considered undesirable on account of the audible slumbers of the old gentleman it was often vacant. The raps finally awakened even Mr. Penrose, who demanded sharply: "What are you doing?" "Hammering with the heel of my slipper," a feminine voice answered. "What do you want?" "A chance to sleep." "Who's stopping you?" crabbedly. "You're snoring."
Squire Gregory doubted it, and sipped and kept his nose at his wineglass, crabbedly repeating his doubts of it. The captain then remarked, that doubting it, his conscience permitted him to use stratagems, though he, the captain, not doubting it, had no such permission. 'I count I run away with her every night of my life, said Squire Gregory. 'Nothing comes of it but empty bottles.
They raised a shout at him, until finally the old man, reluctantly and crabbedly, sidled over to join them.

"Not my scheme," he growled. "Entirely Keith's. I'm a sleeping partner only.
"I don't suppose he needs anybody to tell him how it happened," replied the doctor a little crabbedly. "Of course I've got my own notion of it, old feller," prattled Walker; "but they were purty thick around there just then, and shovin' a good deal. I hope he thinks it happened that way. But I know nobody shoved you, and I'm much obliged."
But the storekeeper was deaf. Each yard made him more certain of the identity of one traveller; his thoughts, as he pursued, were of him. He gained rapidly on the pung.
