"Is it possible," he says, looking rather nettled at my tone, and lowering his voice a little, as if anxious to confine the question to me alone a needless precaution, as there is no one else within hearing "that you have never heard of her?" "Never!" reply I, in some surprise; "why should I? has she ever done any thing very remarkable?" He laughs slightly, but disagreeably.
I 'spose you're going to jump some of our ground, hey? Well, you ain't! We don't want no claim jumpers here," disagreeably continued the seaman; "we won't stand for it. This is my camp see? I own it, and these is my little children." Then, as the other refused to debate with him, he resumed, groping for a new ground of attack. "Say! I'll bet you're one of them eddicated dudes, too, ain't you?
He did not cast his work in bronze, as so many do, and present it to the public ne varietur. He was continually feeling his way, recasting, and seeking the better which very often was the enemy of good. As the result of his continual researches he too frequently turned good ideas into inferior ones. The opening passage is lofty, determined and picturesque, but it ends most disagreeably.
It would have been more to the purpose, perhaps, if she had told her she was not so very bad after all, but Soeur Lucie never thought of that; perhaps she did not care much about the child; by this time Madelon was beginning to be established as the black sheep of the little community, and Soeur Lucie only expressed the general sense; but being very good-natured, she said in a kind way what other people said disagreeably.

There was an inquest and the customary verdict: the deceased, it appeared, came to her death through "heart disease."
It was Piper who had prepared the puppy, Flick, for the cross-country journey to Beechfield, and Radmore had given the man a handsome tip for all the trouble he had taken. Yes, he had not liked Piper; so much he remembered. He had thought the man self-assertive, over self-confident, while disagreeably cringing in manner.
She again kissed and blessed, and pressed closer in her arms, her little comforter, while her other hand was given to Hugh. "I have only heard about it this morning. Your uncle was here telling me just now a little while before you came in. Don't say anything about it before him." Why not? The words struck Fleda disagreeably. "What will be done with the house, Mamma?" said Hugh.
They went on talking in the train it seemed to her father a slight want of deference to him and he listened and pretended to read the Times. He was struck disagreeably by Ramage's air of gallant consideration and Ann Veronica's self-possessed answers. After all, it came to him suddenly as a harsh discovery that she might be in a sense regarded as grownup.
