To Lola, who had put forth all her artillery of artless and harmless coquetry in voice and gesture, in order to lure my thoughts into pleasanter ways, I exhibited the querulous grumpiness of a spoiled village octogenarian. We discussed the weather, which was worth discussing, for the spring, after long tarrying, had come. It was early May. Lola laughed. "The spring has got into my blood."
It was a relief to Mr. Port's mind, and also to his digestion for Dorothy's grumpiness produced an effect distinctly bilious when the end of July arrived and his own and his charming ward's views once more were brought into harmony by the move to Narragansett Pier.
I can't see why our grandfathers' quarrels and Uncle Brüs's grumpiness should hinder you from being friends with the only boys of our rank within reach of Boden." "It is a horrible nuisance. But never mind! I'll make the family feud work into my idea, sure as can be! There, Signy; there goes Loki with five dozen sillacks in his maw, so let's go too." The cormorant had had enough.
Once his father rallied him upon his "grumpiness"; then he grew sullen though trying to smile thinking with mortification of his grandfather. He understood the old man now. He was glad when the week came to an end.

Of course, we haven't done as well as we did in the hut, when the girl brought us bread and cheese and milk; but I couldn't enjoy it then with all that stinging in my back.

He shook it always with a humorous grumpiness which did me more good than the prospect of acquiring fame in the annals of the Ecole de Medicine. Here am I, however, cured. I have thrown away the stick with which I first began to limp about the garden, and I discourage Lola and Rogers in their efforts to treat me as an invalid.
There isn't a darned European soul in the place, nor ever has been. Anchorage unsafe; no harbor; bad reef; too small for missionaries to make a living, and natives got nothing worth speaking of to trade in." "What do they say?" the passenger asked, with suddenly quickened interest. "How the devil should I tell you yet, sir?" the captain retorted with choleric grumpiness.
You try pulling both those sleds up here, and you'll think it's the Fourth of July," Johnny said, adjusting his spectacles with a mittened hand.
