'Ay, answered Steenie, 'but I didna see ye come oot! Eh, Kirsty, wuman, hae ye a heid at baith en's o' ye? Kirsty's laughter blew Steenie's discomposure away, and he too laughed. 'Come back hame, said Kirsty; 'I maun get haud o' a can'le! Yon's a place maun be seen intil. There's room eneuch; ye can see that wi' yer airms! 'What is there room eneuch for? asked Steenie.
He moved a little as these things began to arrange themselves in his mind, and at the movement the Cardinal turned round. He looked old and worn in this chilly light, and his unshaven chin sparkled like frost. But he spoke in his ordinary voice, without any sign of discomposure. "So you are awake, Monsignor? I thought I would let you have your sleep out." "What has happened? Where are we?"
Appius, nothing dismayed or surprised at this theatrical display, as soon as audience was granted him, said he came to demand Mithridates for Lucullus's triumph, otherwise to denounce war against Tigranes, insomuch that though Tigranes endeavored to receive him with a smooth countenance and a forced smile, he could not dissemble his discomposure to those who stood about him, at the bold language of the young man; for it was the first time, perhaps, in twenty-five years, the length of his reign, or, more truly, of his tyranny, that any free speech had been uttered to him.
It was not Georgiana to whom he alluded; but the appearance of Captain Gambier, and the pronounced discomposure visible in the handsome face of the captain on his hearing of the departure, led Tracy to think that Georgiana's was properly deplored by another, though that other was said to be engaged. 'On revient toujours, he hummed. Three days passed as a running dream to Emilia.

What was present to it was that he was to marry that beautiful girl; and yet his question made me conscious of some discomposure I hadn't intended to put this before everything. He himself indeed ought gracefully to have done so, and I remember thinking the whole man was in this assumption that in expressing my sense of what he had won I had fixed my thoughts on his "seat."
Pen, ink, and paper were brought, and the prisoner calmly sat down to write, without the slightest trace of discomposure upon his countenance or in any of his movements. While he was writing, Sylla said with some authority, "Beware, my lord, what you write, lest you put down something which may furnish cause for not delivering the letter."
Bultitude saw what a fearful trap he had fallen into and stood speechless. "Go along with you!" said the little stationer at last, with a not unkindly grin. "Lor bless you, I knew your face the minnit you come in. To go and tell me a brazen story like that! You're a young pickle, you are!" Mr. Bultitude began to shuffle feebly towards the door. "Pickle, eh?" he protested in great discomposure.
Murray saw her discomposure, but chose to take no notice of it, and superintended her toilet that night with almost as much interest as if she had been her own daughter. During the drive she talked on indifferent subjects, and as they went up to the dressing-room had the satisfaction of seeing that her protegee manifested no trepidation.
I mean, is it your wish to be still as friendly with her as you once were? Or do you, for whatever reason, hold aloof from her?" "Will you explain to me, Mr. Mallard, why you think yourself justified in asking such a question?" In both of them there were signs of nervous discomposure.
