The hollow-turner pronounced the days with emphasis, as if, considering their number, they were a rather more remarkable fact than the years. "Mr. Winterborne's father walked with her at one time," said old Timothy Tangs. "But Mr. Melbury won her. She was a child of a woman, and would cry like rain if so be he huffed her.
"By the Lord's restraining grace, sir, I refrained myself but if Mr. Philip hadn't been there that night I'm not hould-ing with violence, no, resist not evil but Mr. Philip fought the loose liver with his fist for me; he chastised him, sir; he " "D the man!" cried Pete, leaping to his feet. "What's he to me or my wife either?" Cæsar went home huffed, angry, and unsatisfied.
That was what Old O'Devy signified; and many's the man driven to his consolation by a cat of a girl, who's like the elements in their puffs and spits at a gallant ship, that rides the tighter and the tighter for all they can do to capsize. 'Tighter than ever I was tight I'll be to-night, if you can't behave. They fell upon the smack of words. Kit hitched and huffed away, threatening bottles.
The next evening she slipped away from the manse to the harbour road. Far down in Rainbow Valley she heard joyous laughter but her way lay not there. She was terribly pale and terribly in earnest so much so that she took no notice of the people she met and old Mrs. Stanley Flagg was quite huffed and said Una Meredith would be as absentminded as her father when she grew up.
At this meeting she had her full revenge of him; for she told him she wondered what he took her to be, that she should admit any man to a treaty of so much consequence as that to marriage, without inquiring very well into his circumstances; that if he thought she was to be huffed into wedlock, and that she was in the same circumstances which her neighbours might be in, viz. to take up with the first good Christian that came, he was mistaken; that, in a word, his character was really bad, or he was very ill beholden to his neighbours; and that unless he could clear up some points, in which she had justly been prejudiced, she had no more to say to him, but to do herself justice, and give him the satisfaction of knowing that she was not afraid to say No, either to him or any man else.
"Beg pardon, gentlemen," he said, speaking as if huffed, "have I said something stoopid?" "Tell him, Val," cried Denham; and I explained why we laughed. "Oh, I see," he said good-humouredly. "I thought I was being laughed at. Well, I don't know, Mr Denham, sir; I don't think the idee's quite so wild as you fancy." "Oh, it's impossible, Sergeant." "No, sir, begging your pardon, it isn't.
After the town had carried this news to Diabolus, and had told him, moreover, that the Prince that lay in the leaguer without the wall, waited upon them for an answer, he refused, and huffed as well as he could, but in heart he was afraid. Then, said he, I will go down to the gates myself, and give him such an answer as I think fit.
"Now mind ye, I'm not huffed at th' churches, aither Orange or Green, or th' praychers aither tho 'pon m' sowl ivery time I luk at wan o' thim I think ov God as a first class journeyman tailor! But I get more good switherin' over an ant-hill than whin wan o' thim wee praychers thry t' make me feel as miserable as th' divil!" "There's somethin' in that," Jamie said.
"Now don't be huffed, darling! of course you have. But, you see, it came as pat with him as if he had known me all my life: and I'll engage that he has another as pat for the next woman he meets." "I don't doubt it," agreed her spouse: "and if that's what you admire, perhaps you would like me to compliment and even kiss every pretty girl in the place. There's no saying what I can't do if I try."
And it is not that I particularly care for the person's dignity, but that I do most particularly care for Podsnap's. Hence, if any one in his presence had presumed to doubt the responsibility of the Lammles, he would have been mightily huffed. Not that any one did, for Veneering, M.P., was always the authority for their being very rich, and perhaps believed it.
