His eyes, half relieved, half indignant, glowed under their pent-house of eyebrow. He sat for a moment in silence. "I think you might have told me before!" he said huffily. Jill laughed. "Yes, I suppose I ought to have told you before." "Leading me on . . . !" Jill patted him on the arm. "Never mind, Derek! It's all over now. And it was great fun, wasn't it!" "Fun!" "Shall we go and dance?
But the scientific mind is a mystery to me, and I shall never understand how you have the patience to do it." Beth found Mr. Alfred Cayley Pounce pacing about her sitting-room, biting his nails in an irritable manner. "You were at lunch, I think," he said. "I wonder why I was not asked in?" Beth said nothing. "I consider it a slight on Mr. and Mrs. Kilroy's part," he pursued huffily.
Rumour had it that Meister Anton really did try this experiment on one unfortunate occasion worried into it, I suppose, by the other chap's persistency. Anyhow, we didn't see him again for a week, he being confined to his bed with a chill on the liver. And the next suggestion made to him he rejected quite huffily, explaining that he had no intention of putting any fresh ideas into his wife's head.
Old Poynter is a pirate, an unscrupulous, money-mad, villainous old pirate and he did something or other most unpleasant to Dad in Wall Street. And would you believe it, Susanne, Philip went fuming off huffily to some ridiculous little mountain kingdom in Europe that he was awfully keen about Houdania and rented himself out as a secretary to Baron Tregar. Just imagine!
"If he was really hurt, he wouldn't make such a fuss," said Bobbie, still trembling with fury; "he's not a coward!" "I think my foot's broken off, that's all," said Peter, huffily, and sat up. Then he turned quite white. Mother put her arm round him. "He IS hurt," she said; "he's fainted. Here, Bobbie, sit down and take his head on your lap." Then Mother undid Peter's boots.
In the first place they won't exchange things bought at a bargain sale, and in the second, if you aren't interested in the other world I am. So there!" and she slid down and walked from the room before I could think of a single thing to say. She walked very huffily. Well, it was like that all the rest of the evening.
"The point is," Luck broke in, "that they took advantage of my holdup scene to pull off the robbery. I can see how the cashier would fall for a retake like that, especially since he don't know much about picture-making. Gather up the props, boys, and let's go home. I'm going to get the rights of this thing." "You've got it now," the sheriff informed him huffily.
Jervaise was calmed by this outburst. This was the sort of attitude he could understand and appreciate. "All right, keep your shirt on," he replied quite amicably. "If you'd condescend to explain," I returned as huffily as I could. "You see, this chap, Banks," he began, "isn't quite the ordinary chauffeur Johnnie. He's the son of one of our farmers.
"Why, you're as bad as Adams," returned Captain Dinks rather huffily; "I suppose you'd like me to strip the ship just when we're getting the first fair breeze we've had since leaving Plymouth! Excuse me, Mr Meldrum, I know my business; and, I presume, you'll allow a sailor to be better acquainted with his duties than any landsman can possibly be."
"Why of course for the matter of that we could have sent you back last week," said Johnny rather huffily "did you not know that the hamper goes back empty on Saturdays?" So Timmy Willie said good-bye to his new friends, and hid in the hamper with a crumb of cake and a withered cabbage leaf; and after much jolting, he was set down safely in his own garden.
