And would you like something in advance?" "No!" she replied grudgingly. "I'll have what I've earned, when I've earned it." He sipped his claret and studied her meditatively. "You're not much of a pal, are you?" She scoffed at him, looked him up and down, at his well-fitting clothes, his general air of prosperity. "Pal!" she jeered.
She waited with a nice little superb air that made everybody hurry to serve her, and presently she was shown up to the door of Bonnie Brentwood's room. Her chauffeur had followed, bearing a large pasteboard suit-box which he set down at the door and departed. "Is this Miss Brentwood's room?" she asked of the nurse who opened the door grudgingly.
But in the various disputes which had arisen about them, Yelverton had shown that he very much disliked the business of defending monopolies, and sending London citizens to jail for infringing them. He did it, but he did it grudgingly. It was a great offence in a man whom Buckingham had always disliked; and it is impossible to doubt that what followed was the consequence of his displeasure.
The safe had not been opened in years; that was evident from the creaking of the plungers as they fell, the gummy resistance of the knob as Fairchild turned it in accordance with the directions on the paper. Finally, a great wrench, and the bolt was drawn grudgingly back; a strong pull, and the safe opened. A few old books; ledgers in sheepskin binding.
They admitted they did, though the Banker acquiesced very grudgingly. "The time of my departure is at hand. Is there anything else, gentlemen, before I leave you?" asked the Chemist, beginning to disrobe. "Please tell Lylda I want very much to meet her," said the Very Young Man earnestly, and they all laughed.
The moody look was quite absent from T. A. Buck's face now, and the troubled look from Emma McChesney's eyes. "Well," Buck said grudgingly, "if you were to advise making up a line of the latest models in deep-sea divers' uniforms, I suppose I'd give in. But flannel nightgowns! In the twentieth century flannel night " "Think it over," laughed Emma McChesney as he opened the door.
"You are forgiven, Hippy," declared Miriam. "Nora, don't allow your old friend and playmate to dislocate his spine in his efforts to show his sorrow." "You may stop bowing," said Nora grudgingly. "I suppose I'll have to forgive you." Hippy promptly straightened up and perched himself on the railing beside Nora. "I didn't say you might sit here," teased Nora. "I know it," replied Hippy coolly.
In the village, land was grudgingly leased for building, and no steam-engine manufactories were permitted. They were, most of them, bound to keep a hound at walk for the Lord of the Manor.
"I wouldn't believe it of Micky, and I don't," said Aunt M'riar. "The boy's a good boy at heart, and no tale-bearer." She ventured, as an indirect appeal on Micky's behalf, to add: "I'm shielding you, Daverill, and a many wouldn't." He affected to recognise his indebtedness, but only grudgingly. "You're what they call a good wife, Polly Daverill. Partner of a cove's joys and sorrows!
The question was so like the boy she used to know that her heart leaped wildly, then became portentously still. "Rather," she admitted, grudgingly, from the shelter of his arms. "I'm sorry. If you say so, I'll burn it. Nothing is coming between you and me." The words sounded hollow and meaningless, as he knew they were. She put her hand over his mouth. "You won't do any such thing," she said.
