The mayor assumed a stern, disapproving air, and his clerk looked up at the couple with malicious curiosity. No marriage was ever so little festal. Like other human beings when deprived of their accessories, it became a simple act in itself, great only in thought.
He measured the distance with disapproving eyes. "That must be fifteen feet away," he protested, "and my arms are not a yard long." He stretched them out, viewing them ruefully. "Go!" she repeated with sternness. He obeyed slowly, his face growing sullen.
I didn't go very quick; I said, "Yes, just as soon as I've narrowed off my toe"; and when at last I pushed back my chair to go, mother called in a disapproving voice and said that they'd got along without me and I'd better go to bed. Well, after I was in bed I began to remember all that had happened lately.
She had her hands on her hips, and she cast a rather disapproving glance at father and daughter. "So you're back again?" she queried, severely. "Sure, Auntie," replied the girl, complacently. "You ran off to get out of seeing Wetherby, didn't you?" Lucy stared sweetly at her aunt. "He was waiting for hours," went on the worthy woman.
"If Madame leaves, the luck will go with her!" she heard one or two people murmur discontentedly. Chester was looking at her with amused, sarcastic, disapproving eyes. "Well!" he exclaimed.

"I don't understand it at all," said Jack Pumpkinhead in a depressed voice. "I'm afraid my head's too ripe." "Nor I," said Tik-Tok, the copper clockwork man.
He was at his worst on Thursday morning; on Thursday afternoon he came home a bright and contented man. He hung his cap on the nail with a flourish, kissed his wife, and, in full view of the disapproving Mr. Price, executed a few clumsy steps on the hearthrug. "Come in for a fortune?" inquired the latter, eying him sourly. "No; I've saved one," replied Mr. Spriggs, gayly.
Once a fox stole into the secret hiding-place, but the sailorman flapped his oars and frightened him away. He was always triumphant. To birds, to squirrels, to trespassing rabbits he was a thing of terror. Once, when the air was still, an impertinent crow perched on the very limb on which he stood, and with scornful, disapproving eyes surveyed his white trousers, his blue reefer, his red cheeks.
It was, moreover, by their sentiments that he was enabled to judge of those of the rest of his army; in short, like all other men, the silent discontent of his household disturbed him. Surrounded by disapproving countenances, and opinions contrary to his own, he felt himself uncomfortable.
