You come down sometime next week and pick out all the things you think you and Harriet would like to keep, and I'll auction off the rest."

But really there was something rather remorseless about Rodney.
Here Theresa stayed the torrent of her eloquence and looked up, to find Damaris' eyes fixed upon her in incredulous wonder. "Have you nothing to say, dear, in answer to my proposition?" she enquired, with a suddenly anxious, edgy little laugh. "I am afraid I have a lot to say, some of which you won't like." "How so?" Theresa cried, still playfully.
My audition at the Opera House." "The deuce you say!" "I've a cab waiting," she said, challenging him with a flash of eyes to their corners. "Wait," he said, darting into his office. "Zoe, how dared you?" "Lilly he's thrilling! I want him along; I feel keyed up now. The way I want to feel! Edgy!"
She would, he thought, have been good-looking if she had not looked so tired and so edgy. She came over and looked down at him and said to him, "Don't try to get up yet.

If I could hit off this edgy appearance, and insert the reflected light in the furrows of old age in half a morning, I did not think I had lost a day. How many revisions were there!

Why, you're thin and pale, and you worry me. I will never leave you again during the summer. Ann was edgy about it this year. She told me once that she felt all the hotness you were suffering. I believe she did! Now will you come away for a month?" "I I cannot, Lyn." "For two weeks, then? One?" "Darling, after next week, yes! For a week or ten days." "Good old Con!

'I'm ever so much better about liquor than I used to be, but it's the whisky in the suitcase that throws me. For God's sake, old man, don't go back on me to-night! Look at my hands! They were fairly jumping at the wrists. He sat down on a trunk that had slid out with the roll.
Round that derelict farm I ranged like a hungry wolf, cold at the feet, queasy in the stomach, and mortally edgy in the mind. Then suddenly the cloud lifted from me, and the blood seemed to run naturally in my veins. I experienced the change of mood which a man feels sometimes when his whole being is fined down and clarified by long endurance.
That's why I don't want you to get sidetracked in any way." Cameron admitted to himself that he was getting more edgy as the day of departure approached, but he tried to keep Joyce from seeing it. He was worried about the possible development of further opposition now that the Markovian had expressed his displeasure, and he was worried about their reception once they reached the Nucleus.
