But Hedwig's interest was so evidently assumed that he turned to the Countess.
So heavy was that tropical fall of water that the horses were bothered by the beating of the big drops, and shook their heads and stamped fretfully under the ceaseless bombardment. Indeed, when one stretched out his hand the drops stung him as if with lashes of tiny whips.
"Oh, I don't know, mother!" answered Becky fretfully. "Betty had on a gingham dress, and she said I couldn't get over the fences in my best one, and I didn't think it made any difference." "Well, no matter," said Mrs. Beck sighing, "they saw you dressed up decently at first. I think you girls are too old to climb fences and be tomboys, for my part.
"In the dumps again, Kate?" said my husband, when he returned home in the evening. "What is the matter now?" "Enough to put you or any one else in the dumps," I replied fretfully.

Alois, kneeling, kissed his dry forehead.
Barbara pouted and sat silent until she could launch an ultimatum as the cab stopped at her door. The success of his first night was making Eric masterful; and she wanted to test her power.

The question, or perhaps the way it was asked, sent a chill through Black Dennis Nolan. His glance wavered and he crumpled his fur cap in his hands. His sudden confusion showed in his dark face.
This quiet of the last few months alarms me. Dangerous dogs do not bark. I trust no one. The very air is full of sedition." The King twisted his blue-veined old hands together, but his voice was quiet. "But why?" he demanded, almost fretfully. "If the people are fond of the boy, and I think they are, to to carry him off, or injure him, would hurt the cause.
"Cousin Rose," began Isabel, a little abashed by the older woman's magnificence, "I'm engaged to Allison." "Really?" cried Rose, with well-assumed astonishment. "Come here and let me kiss the bride-to-be. You must make him very happy," she said, then added, softly: "I pray that you may." "Everybody seems to think of him and not of me," Isabel returned, a little fretfully.
