I was welcomed with cheerfulness, and the minister shook hands with me as if he had not seen me for a month of Sundays. Rita was a-missing. Mrs. Clark seemed nervous and ill-at-ease. Andrew, however, was in his happiest of moods. "What special brought ye over, George?" he asked.
Amid that stage scenery, all in position and still warm from the ghastly comedy that was played there every day, his own image, reflected in twenty cold, pale mirrors, rose before him, at once ominous and comical, ill-at-ease in his fashionable clothes, with bloated cheeks and face inflamed and dirty. What an inevitable and disenchanting morrow to the insane life he was leading!
Prockter arrived it was obvious to Helen, in spite of her wonderful calm upon discovering James Ollerenshaw's butler and page, that the lady was extremely ill-at-ease. And Helen, though preoccupied herself by matters of the highest personal importance, did what she could to remedy a state of affairs so unusual. Probably nobody, within the memory of that generation, had ever seen Mrs.
He was ill-at-ease, almost incoherent at moments, and it was a long time before she could discover his business. This time she received him in her tiny sitting-room, for Pinto was somehow less alarming to her than he had been.
Royson himself?" "Yes," said Mr. Fenshawe quietly, "that will be well. Send for him, Irene." It was noteworthy that he addressed no question to Mrs. Haxton. That lady, nervous and ill-at-ease, could not guess how far the rupture between von Kerber and his patron had gone.

And Shahrazad perceived the dawn of day and ceased saying her permitted say, When it was the Twentieth Night,

It's not so much that I'm dissatisfied; it's more that I'm unsatisfied.
This was not the first time that Arthur Broughton Sloane had provoked a chuckle, although, for him, life was a house of terror, a torture chamber constructed with fiendish ingenuity. Mr. Sloane suffered from "nerves." He was spending his declining years in the arduous but surprisingly successful task of being wretched, irritable and ill-at-ease.
They will remain ill-at-ease until, somewhere in the heights where Mediunah is preparing for another day, a cock crows. This is a satisfactory omen, atoning for the donkey's performance. A cock only crows when he sees an angel, and, if there are angels abroad, the ill intentions of the djinoon will be upset.
I saw that she was ill-at-ease; but as she turned away he held her back to put the words into German, saying, in so dull and low a voice that I scarce could hear him, while he stirred up the earth with the point of his sword, purposing to lay some on his swollen hand. "A froward bee hath stung my hand; Mother Earth will heal the smart.
