"But where are all the things they have in the shop windows all the meats and cakes and sweet things? What becomes of all them?" "That I don't know," said Pelle grumpily; he himself had racked his brains over this very question. "I get all I can eat, but washing and clothes I have to see to myself."
Old John Fenwick was not much better pleased about Mark and me than Father was, though he didn't go to the length of forbidding it; he just acted grumpily and disagreeably.

A polite stranger who sat close to us turned round with a pleasant smile. "Would you allow me to offer you one?" he said, drawing a copy from his pocket. "I fancy I bought the last. There's a run on them to-day, you see. Important news this morning from the Transvaal." Charles raised his eyebrows, and accepted it, as I thought, just a trifle grumpily.
He dropped one hand at length and began to dig his brown fingers into the powdery sand with irritable energy; but a minute or more passed before very grumpily he spoke. "I've had a row with my grandfather. We both of us behaved like wild beasts. In the end, he thought he was going to give me a caning, and that was more than I could stand. I smashed his ruler for him and bolted.
Bilbil was a rare curiosity to the islanders, but since there was little pleasure in talking with the goat they kept away from him. This pleased the creature, who seemed well satisfied to be left to his own devices. Once Prince Inga, wishing to be courteous, walked up to the goat and said: "Good morning, Bilbil." "It isn't a good morning," answered Bilbil grumpily.
A moment later she was walking off with Lord Masham.

"She oughtn't to have come out at all," her ladyship rather grumpily remarked. "Is she so very much of an invalid?" "Very bad indeed."
I have every right in the world to seek out as much information from whatever source I may select; and I have the additional right to inspect the information I receive to pass upon its competence and relevance. Sit down, counsel!" Manison sat grumpily and Judge Carter eyed James again, and James took a full breath. This was the moment he had been waiting for. "Go on, James. Answer my question.
"And don't you egg him on, Mole, when you know what he is; but please tell us as soon as possible what the position is, and what's best to be done, now that Toad is back at last." "The position's about as bad as it can be," replied the Mole grumpily; "and as for what's to be done, why, blest if I know!
Very beautiful these stretches of rich green looked on a bright summer's day, and Katherine exclaimed in delight as she forced the boat through the weedy channel, which became every week more difficult to pass. "Oh, Phil, isn't it lovely!" she cried. "Can't say I admire it," the boy answered grumpily.
But Mrs. Lovell, she settled the case a lady, Farmer Wainsby, with your leave. There's the good of having a lady present on the field. That's due to a lady!" "Happen she was at the bottom of it," the farmer returned Stephen's nod grumpily. "How did it end, Stephen, my lad?" said Butcher Billing, indicating a "never mind him."
