"I don't believe I'll go to Vera's this year," Mrs. Breckenridge said aloud to her husband and stepdaughter. "I'm not crazy about it," Billy agreed fretfully. "Might as well," was the man's enthusiastic contribution. "Oh, I'm GOING!" Billy said discontentedly. "But I don't see why you and Rachael have to go." "Don't you?" her father said significantly.
"Shucks!" he said fretfully to himself as he looked back at the droning, half asleep brigade camp, and then off to the north, across the boiling yellow flood of waters that tumbled past the rocks far below him. "A feller sure does git tired of doin' nothin'." Lusty, young, and bred to an active life, Si, while he did not really crave hustle and bustle, was yet wedded to "keeping things moving."
Just when the new home was ready for occupation, just when Asako's enthusiasm was at its height and the purchases of silken bedding and dainty trays were almost complete, Geoffrey suddenly announced his intention of leaving Japan. "I can't stick it any longer," he said fretfully, "I don't know what's coming over me." "Leave Japan?" cried his wife, aghast.
As it was, Bubbles told herself fretfully that she had no wish to be married. She was not yet tired of the kind of idle-busy life she led; it was an amusing and stimulating life; and though she had her dark hours, when nothing seemed worth while, up to the present time there had been much more sunshine than shadow.
Jake Brewer says as how Ben telled him one night that when yer daddy air dead ye air goin' to his shanty. Ye ain't, air ye, Tess?" The pale eyes of the young squatter boy darkened under the emotion that rose in his breast. He looked at the girl he had loved since she had taken her first step. Every wicked act he had committed he laid fretfully at the door of her refusal to marry him.
It was in the dusk of a wet night of early June, with the sea in a tumble and the wind blowing fretfully from the west of north, that the mail-boat made our harbour. For three weeks we had kept watch for her, but in the end we were caught unready the lookouts in from the Watchman, my father's crew gone home, ourselves at evening prayer in the room where my mother lay abed.
"Charlotte!" said I, taking in a sudden pity a step nearer and holding out my hand; but she only snatched her arm away fretfully and cried the more bitterly. "Has your father been speaking unkindly to you?" I asked her, being much surprised. She shook her head, and a wet handkerchief plashed on my hand like a sob as she shook it out. "What is it, then?"
Her heart leapt towards it, but she was recalled by Ermentrude's fretfully imperious voice. "I was only looking forth from the window, lady," she said, returning. "Ah! thou saw'st no travellers at the Ford?" cried Ermentrude, starting up with lively interest. "No, lady; I was gazing at the far distance. Know you if it be indeed Ulm that we see from these windows?" "Ulm?
"Oh, dadda, isn't it beautiful?" exclaimed Janice, delightedly, as they rode down the hill to the bridge over Stony Creek. "What? Where?" demanded that worthy, looking about in all directions. "The fields, and the trees, and " "Can't ye keep your thoughts from gadding off on such nonsense, Jan?" cavilled her father, fretfully, his gouty foot putting him in anything but a sweet mood.
But there is in resignation a further good element: even real goods, when they are unattainable, ought not to be fretfully desired. To every man comes, sooner or later, the great renunciation. For the young, there is nothing unattainable; a good thing desired with the whole force of a passionate will, and yet impossible, is to them not credible.
