When he did find words they were of the gruffest and most matter-of-fact that an Englishman could vent. "So then," he cried, "you have come back?" "Yes, my brother," replied Francis, and his voice sounded musical and soft, as the gesture he made was graceful and easy. "I, the King of France, have come back to you, my brother of England, to ask your pardon for my mad folly and grave mistake.
"Reddy, Reddy, smart and sly, Couldn't catch a buzzing fly!" taunted Peter. "Chug-a-rum!" said Grandfather Frog in his deepest, gruffest voice. "We know all about that. What we want to know is what Little Joe Otter has got on his mind." "It's news great news!" cried Little Joe. "We can tell better how great it is when we hear what it is," replied Grandfather Frog testily. "What is it?"
"Three months is a long time, Aunt Hepsy," said Lucy at last. Aunt Hepsy never spoke. Then Lucy rose and came to her, and laid her arm about her neck. "You don't want me to go, auntie, I know you don't." "Go away; I didn't say I didn't," said Aunt Hepsy in her gruffest tones. "Auntie, if you will only tell me you would rather I stayed, I won't go."

The high boots did feel queer on her legs. Her companion was hammering on the door of the cottage with the hilt of his sword. A window opened above. "Leutnant Gilder and Sub-Leutnant Louden billeted here. Make haste and come down," he commanded in his gruffest voice as the automobile wheeled around in the drive and started back for the gate.
I was ready to swap canal repartee with any of the canallers. It had become my world. I felt myself a good deal of a man. I could see my mother's astonished look as she opened the door, and heard me in the gruffest voice I could command asking her if she could tell me where Mrs. Rucker lived and yet, I felt anxious.

Cochrane's stiff, aristocratic nature fought hard before he could bring himself to ask advice from such a man, and when he at last did so, it was in the gruffest and most unconciliatory voice. "You know the rascals, and you have the same way of looking at things," said he.
"Alas! worthy sir," he said at last in a lower key, "my son dare not return here for reasons I cannot divulge. Indeed, this was no cheerful house for the boy. He had his ambitions and he left me to pursue them." "What does he do, this youngster?" interrupted Michael, in his gruffest tones. The landlord started. "Indeed, good sir, I could not tell you, for I know not myself."
"Chugarum!" he exclaimed in his deepest, gruffest voice. "Chugarum! Go back to your Great World and learn to mind your own affairs, Mr. Toad." Right away old Mr. Toad began to swell with anger too.
