You wan't old enough for the Mexican War, was you? No, of course not. But I was there and this here fightin' agin such odds puts me in mind of it." "Good morning, Major." It was the voice of the County Judge. "Good morning, sir. I see you have a gun. Don't you think it impolitic? But pardon me. This is no time for ill-humored banter." The Judge bowed.
They were too ill-humored to talk much, but stood around and sipped their hot coffee and munched sodden crackers and fried pork in silence. Pork fried in the morning in a half-canteen, and carried for hours in a dripping haversack, which reduced the crackers to a tasteless mush, is not an appetizing viand; but the hunger of hard exercise in the open air makes it "go."
My stepmother looked down upon the dangerous habit of allowing children to cultivate juvenile friendships indiscriminately, and I was not sufficient unto myself for distractions that would keep me quietly out of the way. What good was I? I was always ill-humored, vexing my step-mother and making baby cry.
After greetings, the Bohemian slept like a rock the whole night, only on the following evening he went out to greet the old knight who looked fatigued and ill-humored and received him angrily, and asked him why he had not remained at Spychow as ordered. Hlawa restrained himself till Zbyszko had left the tent, when he justified his conduct, which was owing to Jagienka's command.
He must have been an amiable man, to bear Johnson's brutal, ill-humored remarks; but seems to me if I had not spirit enough to resent the indignity, I would at least not publish it to the world!
This almost imperceptible symptom, and the rather ill-humored look, foretold a storm. Do you not see that you are wetting the floor?" Aline turned around and looked at the scolder for a moment; then, placing her watering-pot upon the floor, she darted toward the divan like a kitten that has just received a blow from its mother's paw and feels authorized to play with her.
When he is kicked out you will be my servant again, I dare say." The words and the tone were not ill-humored. It was not Hawes's cue to quarrel with a turnkey. Evans looked suddenly up, for his mind was relieved by Mr. Hawes's moderation; he looked up and saw a cold, stern eye dwelling on him with a meaning that had nothing to do with the words spoken. Small natures read one another.
The doctor walked stiffly ahead of them, still ill-humored about the guide's remark and consulting the pages of her guide book. Behind her Ulysses came close up to Freya, recalling their former contact. He thought that it would be an easy matter now to get possession of this capricious and free-mannered woman. "Sure thing, Captain!"
"You're mad. I knew you were." He was so evidently disgusted by this observation, that she caught at the meaning of his look, and laughed a little. "Ah!" she said, "that's an American word, ain't it? It sounds queer to you. You say 'vexed' instead of 'mad. Well, then, you are vexed." "If I have been so clumsy as to appear ill-humored," he said, "I beg pardon.
"Monsieur Grisson is here incognito. He wishes to hear your young friend's story from his own lips." The Duke's companion nodded silently. He had the air of a silent man. He was short, inclined to be stout, and his dress and bearing were almost bourgeois. His features were large and not particularly intelligent, his cheeks were puffy, and his gray beard ill-humored.
