'All right, said Harlow, gruffly. 'We'll bloody soon slosh 'em over. 'Slosh' was a very suitable word; very descriptive of the manner in which the work was done. The cornices of the staircase ceilings were enriched with plaster ornaments.
"I don't, then," said Dick, gruffly in his turn. "It's been an eye-opener, the whole business." "What has?" "This." He evidently meant his own hurt and the general viewpoint induced by it. "I'm not going to stay round here, you know," he continued, presenting this as a proposition he had got to state abruptly or not at all. "Why not?"
After passing quickly along several streets, the men who led them stopped and relaxed their hold. "Now, you stand quiet for half a minute," said one of them gruffly; "there's a knife close to each of your spines at this moment." Thus warned, the captives stood still for nearly a minute. Then Sam lost patience. "Well," he said, angrily, "how long do you mean to keep us here?"
Da Souza, who opened the door for them, returned to his seat, moodily flicking the crumbs from his trousers with his serviette. "Hang it all, Trent," he remarked in an aggrieved tone, "you might be a bit more amiable! Nice lively dinner for the women I must say." "One isn't usually amiable to guests who stay when they're not asked," Trent answered gruffly.
He knew everything that was going on in the mountains. He had come back "ready for business," he said. When he made ready to go, June went to her room and stayed there, but she heard him say to her father that he was going over to the Gap, and with a laugh that chilled her soul: "I'm goin' over to kill me a policeman." And her father warned gruffly: "You better keep away from thar.
You see, I have no name at all, and this harbor at least is a good safe start. I'm afraid I'm rather a cautious sort. When I find what I want and want so hard that it's the deepest part of me I like to go slow. I'm afraid to risk losing it all deciding my life one way or the other by taking a chance." I made a restless movement. "I wasn't speaking of my work just then," I added gruffly.
"I'd turn it toward the wall," counseled Elfreda gruffly. "It's beautiful, but it gives me the creeps. It upsets you more than anything else in this house. Every time you come here, I've noticed you go straight to it. I can see that it's a Jonah. Do you give me leave to do the reversing act?" Elfreda grinned boyishly, yet her round blue eyes were purposeful.
She left her cottage that night, thinking he would murder her, and went to a friend. At the end of a week he came into the friend's house, where she was alone in bed. She cowered under the bedclothes, she told me, expecting him to strike her. Instead of which he threw his wages down beside her and gruffly invited her to come home. "He wouldn't do her no mischief."
Simon," gruffly interposed the coachman; "it's a case for a coroner, I'll be bail; so here I goes to bring him: let all bide as it is, fellow-sarvents; murder will out, they say." And off he set directly not without a shrewd remark from Mr.
Often he begged them to let him go, but the monkeys gruffly commanded him to "stop his jabbering," and poked him with long sticks having sharp points; so that the Prince's life became one of great misery.
