Colonel Musgrave frowned disapprovingly at her frivolity; he swallowed his coffee, and buttered a superfluous potato. "H'm!" said he; "then you know?"

For some time the amused master of the house could not succeed in shaking his head disapprovingly; but when the old housekeeper, who had never ceased scolding and shaking her myrtle-staff, began to totter from anger and excitement, Lysander thought the jest was being carried too far, and, turning to his daughter, exclaimed: "Go, rescue Semestre and drive those crazy people away.

"You look as if you'd learn easy, and Man ain't the worst cook I ever ate after. If he's trained you faithful, maybe it'll be safe to take a change. How about that? Can you make sour-dough bread yet?" "No!" she flung the word at him. "And I don't want to learn," she added, at the expense of her dignity. Kent shook his head disapprovingly.

Mrs. Durgin listened frowningly, but not disapprovingly, as it seemed; though at the end she asked: "And what am I going to do, with Jackson gone?" Jeff laughed, with his head down.

"I guess the judge knows how he wants his own hat," returned Hannah, her mouth working disapprovingly. "But he doesn't realize how it looks. Some one asked me the other day if I supposed Judge Trent slept in his hat." "And I s'pose you told 'em you didn't know," returned the old woman sourly.

He began to be annoyed with the presence of the clergyman, of Desmond, and Julia, who waited disapprovingly upon the bride, of Marie's mother and the small horde of friends and relations; he began to think, "If only it was over and I had her to myself!
