He was the first sheepman on this range, and he had to fight to hold his own, I'm here to say!" "You'd better send the kid over into peaceful territory," Mackenzie suggested, crabbedly.

He looked over the list of eligibles. He read their misspelled, crabbedly written letters. There was not one in the lot to whom a man of conscience could entrust the Moslem flower, even if she did smoke. "There is apparently not one man of education or refinement in the whole lot," exclaimed Mr. Middleton. "That's about right," said the president of the agency.
She concluded they were deliberately deaf to her, and "Let them go!" she said crabbedly, flaunting an eloquent arm to the winds, comforting herself with the thought that there was no other house in all that dreary country to give them the shelter she had denied. The sun by this time was pouring into the moor from a sky without a speck of cloud.
Squire Gregory doubted it, and sipped and kept his nose at his wineglass, crabbedly repeating his doubts of it.

He quelled one incipient mutiny through sheer dominance, but it left him more short of temper, more crabbedly moody than ever.
A cloud drifted a frown over the face of the cold moon, and A'tim skulked closer and closer almost to the very edge of the slaughter-pit. The Indian Pack-Dogs snarled at his presence, and yapped crabbedly. Other gray shadows, less venturesome than the Dog-Wolf, flitted restlessly back and forth in the dim mist of the silent plain. A'tim sneered to himself maliciously.
