"I wish that people might be allowed to go to church without their bonnets these hot Sundays," I say, grumblingly. "You especially, Barbara." She laughs. "I should be very glad, but I am afraid the beadle would turn me out."
Amelia, who had a spirit responsive to the dramatic exigencies of life, felt a little flush spring into her face, so hot that, on the way to the door, she involuntarily put her hand to her cheek and held it there. The door came open grumblingly. It sagged upon the hinges, but, well-used to its vagaries, she overcame it with a regardless haste. "Come in," she said, at once, to the man on the step.
"But, Corporal, how would it mend the matter to take the devil in-doors?" "Devil!" Don't call names. Did not I tell you, only one Jacobina does not hurt is her master? make you her master: now d'ye see?" "It is very hard," said Peter grumblingly, "that the only way I can defend myself from this villainous creature is to take her into my house." "Villainous! You ought to be proud of her affection.
As is usual when anything of importance is to be done, the busiest men of the community were summoned and put to work. Strangely enough, the first trial under this Committee of Vigilance resulted also in a divided jury. The mob of eight thousand or more people who had gathered to see justice done by others than the appointed court finally though grumblingly acquiesced.
"Got any money about you?" asked Vidal of Manuel and Bizco. "Two reales," replied the latter. "Well, then, invite us to something," suggested Vidal. "Let's have a bottle." Bizco assented, grumblingly, so they arose and took their way toward Madrid.
"She's a knowin' girl," mused the rider, strangely pleased that she should like the world he lived in. For it was his world; he had been born here. "Don't you think so, Willard?" added the girl. The rider strained his ears for the answer. It came, grumblingly: "I suppose it's well enough for the clodhoppers that live here." The girl laughed tolerantly; the rider on the mesa smiled.
This shearing will soon be too much for us, if they do it every time a little wool has grown on us." "Wait!" said Pelle. "Just wait! Let the other side do everything, and let us see how far they will go. Behave as if nothing had happened, and get on with your work. You have the responsibility of wives and children!" They grumblingly followed his advice, and went back to their work.
Now Master Cheese had no great liking for that vulgar edible which bore his name, and which used to form the staple of so many good, old-fashioned suppers. To cheese, in the abstract, he could certainly have borne no forcible objection, since he was wont to steal into the larder, between breakfast and dinner, and help himself as Martha would grumblingly complain to "pounds" of it.
Finally, in angry despair you land the butt of your rifle brutally on his chest, and he will start up with a cry or an oath. "Time," you mutter. The relief grumblingly rises to his feet, rubbing his glued eyes violently, and asks you if there is anything. "Nothing," you answer curtly.
"Clumsy fellow that you are!" said Manicamp, grumblingly, pushing his horse towards De Guiche, so as almost to unseat him, and then, as he passed close to him, as if he had lost command over the horse, he whispered, "For goodness' sake, think what you are saying." "Well, it is agreed, then," said the prince; "since you are so devoted to me, I shall take you with me."
