Until at last Just before his eyes Up there on the top of the bank, not far from where Dacres and Mrs.
For better or worse, Miss Mollie, it is evidently ordained that I must stay on at the Court!" The village doctor came to doctor Jack Melland's damaged ankle, and the patient fumed and fretted beneath his old-fashioned treatment. "Bandaging me and laying me up by the heels for weeks at a time; it's folly!" he declared angrily. "The man is twenty years behind the times.
Harland fumed and fretted, pacing up and down in the saloon with an angry face and brooding eyes. He looked at me where I stood waiting, ready dressed for the excursion of the day, and said: "I'm sorry for all this worry. Catherine gets worse and worse. Her nerves tear her to pieces." "She allows them to do so," I answered "And Dr. Brayle allows her to give them their way."
"Another month's work will knock Morton into 'pi," was a remark that caught my ear as I fumed from the composing-room back to my private office. I had just irately blamed a printer for a blunder of my own, and the words I overheard reminded me of the unpleasant truth that I had recently made a great many senseless blunders, over which I chafed in merciless self-condemnation.

"I'll see you damned before I do," fumed his lordship. "Why, that's unreasonable and unreasoning. But if ye insist, why, another messenger will do as well, and another hostage aboard as I had originally intended will make my hand the stronger." Lord Julian stared at him, realizing exactly what he had refused. "You'll think better of it now that ye understand?" quoth Blood.
No wonder Egypt's in the mess of ruins it is if this is the way traffic has always been regulated," fumed and fretted Sir Timothy, whilst Mary Bingham twirled her sunshade over her hat and gazed unseeingly at the domes, cupolas, and minarets of the distant mosque of the Mohamet Ali; and the thin heir of the race of Gruntham pondered upon the allurements of the yashmak, which hid all but the eyes of the few Eastern women who glanced timidly in passing at the occupants of the motor-cars.
