The opinion seemed to be that the press of the session would be upon domestic matters, for the reduction of establishments and taxation. The King wrote to the Duke and grumpily acceded to Leopold's appointment. Leopold is very uppish upon the subject. He was at Cobham to-day and yesterday. I am to see Peel on Sunday at half-past one on Indian matters. January 22.
Cæsar, as he spoke, tipped his thumb over his shoulder in the direction of Ross, and, seeing this, Ross interrupted his conversation with Kate to address himself to her father. "So you've been reading the paper, Mr. Cregeen?" "Aw, reading and reading," said Cæsar grumpily. Then in another tone, "You're home again from London, sir? Great doings yonder, they're telling me.
Why didn't you call me as usual? I'm not an invalid any longer, you know." "I thought if so be you'd a mind to sleep on, 'twouldn't do you no harm," vouchsafed Maria rather grumpily.
"Yes, but the material interests will not let you jeopardize their development for a mere idea of pity and justice," the doctor muttered grumpily. "And it is just as well perhaps." The Cardinal-Archbishop straightened up his gaunt, bony frame. "We have worked for them; we have made them, these material interests of the foreigners," the last of the Corbelans uttered in a deep, denunciatory tone.
"We can't even dress up the table and make it look pretty the way we used to on days mother came to have tea with us." "We couldn't make bread and butter look pretty," said Tom, rather grumpily. I was sorry to see him so disappointed, just when I thought that our having found Miss Goldy-hair was going to make everything nice.
At last Jimmy with perceptible apprehension turned his head on the pillow. "Good evening," he said in a conciliating tone. "H'm," answered the old seaman, grumpily. For a moment longer he looked at Jimmy with severe fixity, then suddenly went away.
That night there came another heavy fall, and when they awoke next morning it was found that the country was buried under a carpet of snow full three feet deep. "Do you admit now, Master Trench, that the masts have gone by the board," asked Paul, "and that it is impossible to carry sail any longer?" "I admit nothing," returned the captain grumpily.
Sorensen's Black Suitcase was still a problem to Thorn. He couldn't quite figure out what was in it. "Hotter'n Billy Blue Blazes!" Sorensen said as he put the Black Suitcase down on the gleaming white ground. He grinned a little, which dispelled for a moment his Angry Old Man expression, and said: "You ready to go, Mr. Thorn?" "I'm ready any time you are," Thorn said grumpily.
Tents stood in pools of water; their occupants, harassed by trench duty, lay shivering within, half-starved and wet. McKay made his way at once to the colonel and reported his return. "Oh! so you've thought fit to come back," said Colonel Blythe, rather grumpily.
Presently they came in sight of the house. It was larger than it had looked in the distance; a veritable palace. An architect had received carte-blanche, and disporting himself right royally, had designed a façade which it would be hard to beat: at any rate, in England. Stafford eyed it rather grumpily.
