Scarcely was the last word out of the gourmand's mouth before the noble personage so designated, joined us. As for me, feeling any thing but social, I soon left the ill-matched pair, and rode into the other park. Just as I entered it, I perceived, on a dull, yet cross-looking pony, Mr. Wormwood, of bitter memory.
In three days he will bring you back here, with your parents and sisters, and any guests you may invite, in your company. By that time the feast will be ready. Helga had so much to think about, that the ride home appeared very short. Her father and mother were delighted to see her, as they did not feel sure that so ugly and cross-looking a man as Habogi might not have played her some cruel trick.
"She is Madame DuBois, the French teacher, who is in charge of our floor. Your room is across from Carrie's, isn't it?" "Yes," answered Tabitha, shyly. "She looks as if she might be lovely." "Oh, she is! Next to Miss Pomeroy, she is the most popular teacher here. The red-headed, cross-looking, fat woman at the second table is Miss White, who has classes in music and drawing.
She had not on that morning been very careful with her toilet, as was perhaps natural enough. The cares of the world were heavy on her, and he would not be there to see her. Her hair was rough, and her face was red, and she had hardly had the patience to make straight the collar round her neck. To the eye she was an untidy, angry, cross-looking woman.
The dowager, who rarely paid attention to appearances, or to anything else, except her own comfort, had her feet up on a sofa, and was fast asleep; two ladies were standing in front of the fire, talking in undertones; Lady Hartledon sat on a sofa a little apart, her baby on her knee; and her sister-in-law, Lady Kirton, a fragile and rather cross-looking young woman, who looked as if a breath would blow her away, was standing over her, studying the infant's face.
We pulled on board in the gig, and Peggy was soon in the arms of her husband. As Pearson embraced her at the gangway for he could not help it the first lieutenant very kindly said, "Pearson, I shan't want you on deck till after dinner: you may go below with your wife." "Now, may God bless you, for a cross-looking, kind-hearted gentleman," said Peggy to the first lieutenant.
A seven was the highest card in his hand. Everyone turns to him, surprised. He laughs A difficult man to deal with, that, in other matters besides cards. A man whose thoughts lie a good deal below his skin. Opposite, a cross-looking old woman clamours for sausages, gets them, and seems crosser than ever. She scowls round on everyone, with a malignant expression that is quite terrifying.
If some of the poor, pretty creatures here aren't quite what they ought to be, because they've been badly brought up or unfortunate, would you think it right and womanly not to answer when they speak, or to turn one's back on them, or slam the Casino door in their faces, as some cross-looking people do? Wouldn't that drive them to being worse?"
A cross-looking but scrupulously clean hostess received me, and showed me into a large room with a dinner-table in it, which, though it might have accommodated thirty or forty guests, only stretched down half the length of the eating-room.
Because there are compensations. The scenery, is it not?" "And for me your society." And so on. And so on. Oh yes, there were consolations in being a motor maid, sitting as far away as possible from a cross-looking if rather handsome chauffeur, who would want to bite her if she tried to do the "society act." It is such a nice motor car, and I did want to ask intelligent questions about it!
