He began to ask himself irritably why on earth he had accepted an invitation which could bring nothing but petty vexations, if not positive disagreeables. He thought longingly of the cool parlor in Mantua, where at this very hour he might have been working unhindered at his polemic against Voltaire.
She ought to have been a partisan of her father, for she was the member of his trio who most "made up" to him for the disagreeables he didn't mention.
The misconduct, or unkindness of those in the nearest relation, wounds in the tenderest part, and occasions the most pungent grief. True.

'It's nice of father, isn't it? said Carrie, rather timidly, touching the telegram. 'He'd better have come himself, said Miss Anna, sharply. 'But he is coming! cried Carrie.
On the whole it is as easy a way of making money as I have ever tried, though no way of making money is perfectly easy, there must be some disagreeables.
