Invited to make his choice from a long list of alcoholic mixtures, beginning with Whisky Straight, and ending with Bosom Caresser and Gin Sour, Saxham said that he would take a glass of ice-water. "Well, boss, since you're on the Temperance Walk," said the Australian, his would-be host, a little huffily, "you'll please yourself, I suppose?"
"I have no doubt you would!" say I, turning sharply and huffily away; then, with a sudden recollecting and repenting myself, "May I come back, then?" I say, meekly. "Come and fetch you, I mean, after a time any long time that you like!" "Will you?" he cries, with animation, the look of unwilling refusal vanishing from his face. "Would you like? would not it be too much trouble?"
Marg can play on one and get him plumb riled up to anythin'; Nella-Rose can twist him around her finger and make him act like the Second Coming." Conning called a halt. "What's the Second Coming?" he asked, his eyes twinkling. "Meaning? good as a Bible character," Jim explained huffily. "Gawd, man! do your own thinkin'. I can't talk an' splanify ter onct." "Oh! I see. Well, go on, Jim."
"Not such a bad boss," remarked Langholm, dryly; and the words set him thinking a moment on his own account. "And what happened to you?" he added, abandoning reflection by an effort. "I stayed on." "Forgiven?" "If you like to put it that way." "And you both filed the secret for future use!" "Don't talk through your neck, mister," said Abel, huffily. "What are you drivin' at?"
"Just a shot or two in the left arm a mere nothing, when one considers the dangers the whole line were incurring." "You were shot in the arm, Sir Antony?" I exclaimed, suddenly, feeling a great dislike to Mr. Dodd. "Oh, but people should not shoot if they are so careless, surely!" "I beg your pardon, ma'am," said Mr. Dodd, huffily. "I am not careless.
Arthur Miles turned his back upon Tilda, and would not budge from his boat; while Tilda seated herself huffily upon a half-decayed log by the cottage doorway, with 'Dolph beside her, and perused The Lady's Vade-Mecum.

You wouldn't consider a widder, Cephas? A widder'd be a good comp'ny-keeper for your mother." "I hain't put my good savin's into an ell jest to marry a comp'ny-keeper for mother," responded Cephas huffily.
When she introduced four candles as sole lighting of the dining-room table, however, he grumbled loudly at his inability to see what he was eating. She retired to her bedroom, and he huffily went out to get a cigar. At the cigar-counter he repented of all the unkind things he had ever done or could possibly do, and returned to eat humble pie and eat it by candle-light.
Mavis drank some of the liquor and certainly felt the better for it. "I bought you a quarter of German," declared Mrs Bilkins, as she enrolled a paper parcel. "You mean German sausage," said Mavis, as she caught sight of the mottled meat, a commodity which her old friend Mr Siggers sold. "I always call it German," remarked Mrs Bilkins, a trifle huffily. "But what am I to eat it on?"
"Well, sir, I don't know," replies Juniper, huffily; "you may amuse yourself; sir, with my humble efforts at a superior style of soliloquy; but I'm sure you're doing me injustice, and allowing yourself to be bamboozled, if you let yourself be talked over by that canting hypocrite." "Steady steady, my boy!" cries Frank; "you're half-seas over, Juniper, or you could not say so.
