"'Thank you, Maggie, says I; 'but if it is all the same to you, I'd rather have that one I was handling just now. "'The other is a good three pound heavier, said she, 'and we fattened it expressly for you. "'Never mind. I'll have the other, and I'll take it now, said I. "'Oh, just as you like, said she, a little huffed. 'Which is it you want, then?
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."
So he huffed, and he puffed, and he puffed and he huffed, and at last he blew the house in, and ate up the little pig. The third little pig met a man with a load of bricks, and said: "Good man, give me those bricks to build me a house with." The man gave the bricks, and he built his house with them. Again the wolf came, and said: "Little pig, little pig, let me come in."
"Most certainly, sir, so soon as your wardrobe and your purse allow. Nay, don't be huffed. Come, Simon, sweet Simon, are we not friends, and may not friends rally one another? No, and if I choose, I will put my hand through your arm. Indeed, sir, you're the first gentleman that ever thrust it away. See, it is there now! Doesn't it look well there, Simon and feel well there, Simon?"
And Gourlay was fired with the rest. "I heard a very good one the other day from old Bauldy Johnston," said Allan, opening his usual wallet of stories when the dinner was in full swing. At a certain stage of the evening "I heard a good one" was the invariable keynote of his talk. If you displayed no wish to hear the "good one," he was huffed.
The simple father was beginning to submit that he hoped his son, the quondam Grinder, huffed and cuffed, and flogged and badged, and taught, as parrots are, by a brute jobbed into his place of schoolmaster with as much fitness for it as a hound, might not have been educated on quite a right plan in some undiscovered respect, when Mr Dombey angrily repeating 'The usual return! led the Major away.
The station master yawned drowsily. "Didn't notice," he answered. "What an old woman you're getting, George! Want to know everybody's business, don't you?" The porter withdrew, a little huffed. When, a few minutes later, the train drew in, he even avoided ostentatiously a journey to the far end of the platform to open the door for the solitary passenger who was standing there.
"'Faith I have been in places of danger you'd be glad to get out of, I can tell you, as bould as you are, captain." "You'll pardon me for doubting you, Father Blake," said Moriarty, rather huffed. "'Faith then you wouldn't like to be where I was before I came here; that is, in a mud cabin, where I was giving the last rites to six people dying in the typhus fever."
He was awfully huffed at your not coming; but I suppose that was because Nick had other plans. We couldn't have him now, because there's no room for another gun; but since he's not here, and you're free, why you know, dearest, don't you, how we'd love to have you? Fred would be too glad too outrageously glad but you don't much mind Fred's love-making, do you?
He came quite near to me, perched on a bush in the yard, fixed his eyes on me, and then, with great deliberation, first huffed, then squawked, then sang a little, then flew. I do not know what the bird meant to say, but this is what it expressed to me: "You've worried us all through this trying time, but you didn't get one of our babies! Hurrah!"
