"Did you want your boxes, sir?" asked the boy. "Put 'em down," Thomas Batchgrew growled. The boy deposited them in haste on the table and hurried out. "How is Mrs. Maldon?" demanded Mr. Batchgrew with curtness, after he had snorted and sniffed. He remained standing near to Rachel. "Oh, she's very much better," said Rachel eagerly. "She was asleep when I left." "Have ye left her by herself?" Mr.
He watched this one's approach warily, and when the fellow pulled up with a glistening smile and a polite "Buenas tardes," Stratton responded with some curtness. "Fine day, señor," remarked the stranger pleasantly. "You've said it," returned Buck drily. "We haven't had rain in as much as three weeks." "Tha's right," agreed the other.
The dining room was so heavily respectable, with its fussily formal arrangements like Uncle, for it's big; like Aunt, for it's crotchety. I suppose there must have been a scene with Ned. Aunt Frank was depressed, fitfully talkative. Milly scarcely spoke, but in the curtness with which she turned her sullen head when poor Ethel asked some question, I wasn't slow in finding a meaning.
Hermon remembered all this himself, yet, with an imperious curtness in marked contrast to his usual pleasant manner to this worthy servant, he hoarsely commanded him to bring Chello to him early the next morning, and then again relapsed into his solitary meditations.
"London's a fine place," said Edward Henry. "I know," said Robert, negligently. "What's the population of London?"

Almost without any preliminary words of courtesy, and without any attempt to prolong the short conversation which always took place before he was made to stand with his back to the abbess's open door, he coldly inquired about the good lady's condition during the past night, and made one or two observations thereon with a brevity almost amounting to curtness.
Their question is met by Elisha with curtness and scant courtesy, which indicates that it was asked in no sympathetic spirit, but from mere love of telling bad news, and of vulgar excitement. Even the gentle Elisha is stirred to rebuke the gossiping chatterers, who intrude their curiosity into that sacred hour.
Should my son come out unscathed he has no one but me and I have no one but him. I have to think of his life. Mr. But he sleeps very badly, doesn’t he?” I murmured something affirmative in a doubtful tone and she remarked quaintly, with a certain curtness, “It’s so unnecessary, this worry! The unfortunate position of an exile has its advantages.
"How's the west-bound on time?" queried the young man rather shortly, but despite the curtness of his accents there was a musical quality in the ringing tones. Before the cavernous jaws could close sufficiently for reply, two distant whistles sounded almost simultaneously.
His quick, restless movements suggested nervous energy, but when advisable, he could assume the bovine stolidity which, though foreign to his real nature, the Canadian bushman occasionally adopts for diplomatic purposes.
