"I must find something, I suppose. Some sort of work, you know." He pronounced the word gingerly, distastefully, as if it were a curious, unwonted one. "Perhaps I shall be able to get a post as door-keeper somewhere; in some museum, you know, or perhaps a theatre, or the White City. I've always thought that might be amusing." "You wouldn't earn much that way," Hilary said hopelessly.
Barney reached for a dipper hanging on a nail beside the kitchen door. Hetty dipped out a small quantity of the milk, sipped, straightened up with a jerk and spewed the milk out into the yard. "Yaawwwk," she spluttered, "that tastes worse 'n Diesel oil." She stirred distastefully at the swirling, flat-looking liquid in the pails and then turned back to the kitchen.
He turned and looked at her, and now there was neither pity nor compassion in his gaze only that hardness of granite with which she was all too familiar. "Unfortunately, that's out of your power," he said coldly. "You only had power to wreck it." He glanced down distastefully at the hand on his sleeve, and she withdrew it hastily.
Sally shook her head. "Don't worry. Plenty of gas. Security takes care of that. When I said where we were going and that I wanted the car, Dad had everything checked. If I live through this, I'll bet I stay a fanatic about cautiousness all my life!" Joe said distastefully: "I suppose it gets everybody.
I have been watching our good friend, your lawyer's wife, distracted over the over the balourdise of her husband as a dancer: he dances like a bootmaker's sign, if you can imagine that, and I dare not approach them till her very natural indignation has simmered down." The Chamberlain looked across, the hall distastefully and found Mrs. Petullo's eyes on him.
Turning she found that Jude had followed her, and was standing at the chamber door. She went to him, put her hand in his, and said "Good-night." "But Sue! Don't we live here?" "You said you would do as I wished!" "Yes. Very well! ... Perhaps it was wrong of me to argue distastefully as I have done!
Owen put down the paper he held and looked at his young colleague with a smile. "Well, it's no end of a bore!" Barry frowned distastefully. "That stupid Jenkins woman has gone and landed herself in Holloway!" "Holloway?" Owen repeated the word in surprise. "Yes. I knew she was a Militant Suffragette, but I thought she would have more sense than to go mixing herself up in brawls with the police!"
The crew were getting their oars ready, and one was hammering the plug of the boat home with the butt of an enormous jack-knife. The stout American surveyed the tumbling sea beneath them distastefully. "When I get to Washington," he said, "I guess I'll fly round that li'll old town till some of our precious 'too-proud-to-fight' party just gnash their teeth and shriek aloud 'How can we bear it?"
Her previous description of, him, as a 'gentlemanly official' in his appearance, conjured him up most distastefully. True, she might have made a more lamentable choice; a silly lordling, or a hero of scandals; but if a gentlemanly official was of stabler mould, he failed to harmonize quite so well with the idea of a creature like Tony. Perhaps Mr. Redworth also failed in something.
But what kind of happiness was it? She likened it to that of the corpse underground, and shrank distastefully.
