While the spectators are yelling, waving their hands, flourishing and clinking pieces of silver; while they search in their pockets for the last coin, or, in the lack of such, try to pledge their word, promising to sell the carabao or the next crop, two boys, brothers apparently, follow the bettors with wistful eyes, loiter about, murmur timid words to which no one listens, become more and more gloomy and gaze at one another ill-humoredly and dejectedly.
Between here and there I know that I shall not be thirsty." And that in a tone, in which for the first time he allowed the authority of a Captain to speak. "That is easy to say," I thought, ill-humoredly. "He knows that when he wants them, my water-skin, and Bou-Djema's, are at his service."
"The reckoning is far off," I retorted, ill-humoredly. "Far off yes. Further away than you know. You will never cross swords with Walter Butler." "And why not?" "He means to use the Iroquois." I was silent. "For the honor of your women, you cannot fight such a man," she added, quietly. "I wish I had the right to protect your honor," I said, so suddenly and so bitterly that I surprised myself.
"All Paris is on the walls watching the battle. Lucky Paris!" Trois-Echelles laughed ill-humoredly. "Not so lucky if we don't win the battle." Petit-Jean was complacent. "Whichever wins will need us to hang the losers. Look at the bright side, man." Trois-Echelles fumbled his beads furtively. "I've lost heart, I tell you. I haven't hanged a man for a week."
There was something in the ring of Roderick's voice, as he uttered these words, which sent them home with convincing force. He was not talking for effect, or the mere sensuous pleasure of extravagant and paradoxical utterance, as had often enough been the case ere this; he was not even talking viciously or ill-humoredly.
Edi, too, sat quite ill-humoredly before his plate, as if he had to swallow sorrel instead of little golden apples; for he felt much troubled that his father had heard of his inattention in the school. Ritz had expected a kind of admonishing speech from him, because the outburst had taken place right after he had spoken to Sally.
Madame Seelye did design it Isobel standing patiently before the long mirror in the fashionable modiste's fitting-room while Madame, herself, on her knees, pinned and unpinned and pinned again soft folds of pink satin which made Isobel's face, above it, reflect the color of a rose. "You'd think the whole world revolved 'round your old play," exclaimed Graham, not ill-humoredly.
So Lina came slowly along the vegetable beds; on the big, stout body perched a small head, with a puffy-cheeked, very heated childish face under a heavy mass of oily brown hair. She still kept her hands on her apron, as if wishing to conceal the fact that she was pregnant. She stopped short before Billy and asked ill-humoredly, "What is it, father?"
He came and sat mysteriously at my side. "You see," he said, "how I stand with Breschia. I can have the run of the fortress at any time, and so, if you play your cards properly, can you." "Was there any need," I asked, ill-humoredly, "to bring me here to say that?" I admit that I was in a quite unreasonable temper, and that an angel would have been tempted to quarrel with me.
Often he would remark, ill-humoredly: "If I'm turned inside out with eating this stuff, how am I to go any farther? And what's to be done then?" We had no chance of earning anything, neither had we a penny left to buy a bit of bread. All we had to live on was fruit, and our hopes for the future.
