I replied, assuming, as well as I could, in the exigency of the moment, an air of offended surprise, and talking in the gruffest of all imaginable tones "sir! you are a sum'mat mistaken my name, in the first place, bee'nt nothing at all like Goddin, and I'd want you for to know better, you blackguard, than to call my new obercoat a darty one."
Then it was but empty glory that hung in the balance, while now I settled my feet more firmly, and lengthening my stroke, pulled with a will. Lisbeth sat up, and I saw her fingers tighten upon the rudder-lines. "You asked me to row, you know," I said in response to her look. "Yo ho!" roared Scarlet Sam in the gruffest of nautical tones.
"Well, I suppose I understand," said Georgina, at last, in her gruffest voice. "All the same, I warn you, I can't stand it much longer. I shall be saying something rude to Buntingford." "No, no don't do that!" "I haven't your motive you see." Cynthia coloured indignantly. "If you think I'm only pretending to care for the child, Georgie, you're very much mistaken!" "I don't think so.
There were marks of dirt upon it where the friendly fox's feet had rested. It was damp where the river had lain. It had tiny holes in it where the fire had sat after he had turned himself into hot ashes. "What do you mean by bringing me this dirty piece of paper?" shouted the king in his biggest, deepest, gruffest voice. "I am highly offended.

"I'll give you everything I have," she panted, "if only you'll go away." "Not so fast as all that," he answered, coolly, for indeed he had not taken so mad a risk in order to go away again if he could help it. "Who is there in the house besides you?"
" but you have a fine intelligence, and it can never be amiss for you to approach a great subject on its most elevated side. She is not much older than you are, Jock." "She is not so old as I am. She is three months younger than I am," cried Jock, in his gruffest voice. "And yet she is a revelation," said Mr. Derwentwater. "I feel that I am on the eve of a great crisis in my being.
"Your comrade Waller does indeed approach to him somewhat in height, but he's nothing to him in breadth; and as for ferocity, strength, and activity, I never saw anything like him in my life.

The tools they had done it with lay on the floor, on a neat cloth roll, such as wood-carvers keep their chisels in. "Hurry up!" Gerald heard. "You needn't take all night over it." The silver rattled slightly. "You're a rattling of them trays like bloomin' castanets," said the gruffest voice. Gerald turned and went away, very carefully and very quickly.
I had now an opportunity of watching the proceedings of one of our pursuers, at any rate and surely this was something gained. "Fine morning, sir," I said politely.
