I was again compelled to assure him that the matter was not one of which I could speak with a stranger, on which he appeared to be huffed, and rode for some miles without opening his mouth. Groves of trees lined the road on either side, and the sweet smell of pines was in our nostrils. Far away the musical pealing of a bell rose and fell on the hot, close summer air.
Standing there on the shell-torn hilltop, looking across to where the Krupp surprise wrote its own testimonials at its first time of using, in characters so deadly and devastating, I found myself somehow thinking of that foolish nursery tale wherein it is recited that a pig built himself a house of straw, and the wolf came; and he huffed and he puffed and he blew the house down.
Let him show her his prize-books instead. Bessie was too humble towards Harry to be huffed. She admired the prize-books, then changed the subject, and spoke of Lady Latimer, inquiring if he had availed himself of her invitation yet to call at Fairfield. "No," said he, "I have not called at Fairfield. What business can her ladyship have with me? I don't understand her royal message.
"By the bye," interrupted Ellis, "could you tell me, for I never could find it in Herbert Spencer, what exactly in society corresponds to the spleen?" "Or the liver?" added Leslie. "Or the vermiform appendix?" Ellis pursued. "Oh, well," said Wilson, a little huffed at last, "if you are tired of being serious it's no use for me to continue." "I'm sorry, Wilson!" said Ellis.
"I have heard, by a side wind," he foamed, "that a meeting was held, two days ago, up at the Vicarage, when it was decided that you should hold lectures in this school my school. I wasn't asked to attend. . . . And of course you will jump to the conclusion that I am over-sensitive, huffed for my own sake. It isn't that! . . . I am huffed maddened if you will for the sake of my calling.
She came home in a coach-and-four nearly two hours ago, with Monsieur de Malfort; and I think they must have quarrelled. They bade each other good night so uncivilly; but he was more huffed than mother." "Where were you that you know so much?" "In the gallery. Did I not tell you I shouldn't be able to sleep?
M. de La Meilleraye, whom they called the Grand Master, was in love with Madame de Guemenee, but she could not love him; and he being, both in his own nature and by reason of his great favour with the Cardinal, the most imperious man living, took it very ill that he was not beloved. He complained, but the lady was insensible; he huffed and bounced, but was laughed to scorn.
The worthy baronet would have been a little huffed, but for the preoccupation of his mind with other matters, chiefly political. But this was in November and December; and he knew that Campion's mother had lately died, and that he was anxious about that clever sister of his, who had lately written a good novel, and then been ill, and had gone to Italy.
"My hand is neither unpleasantly clammy nor particularly dirty, is it?" "No, Peregrine." "Then why not hold it?" "Because!" "Upon my word!" I exclaimed, "you are very provoking!" "Am I, Peregrine?" "Extremely so! Why won't you hold my hand? And pray answer intelligibly." "Because I don't want to!" "Oh, very well!" said I, greatly huffed. "Then you shall decline the verb 'To be' instead."
The matter thus satisfactorily adjusted, the banquet proceeded, the merchants present being all delighted at seeing the said official, who was exceedingly, unpopular, "so well huffed by the Count."
