More than once or twice, in the ill-humors that followed a forced hilarity, he had forgotten his claims to being a gentleman so far as not exactly to reproach her with having brought him to poverty but to remind her that, if she was poor, she was no poorer than she had been when dependent on the charity of a distant relation! The baby began to cry.
Snivel thanks the vote-cribber, who pledges his honor he would accompany him, but for the reason that he opens crib to-morrow, and has in his eye a dozen voters he intends to look up. He has also a few recently-arrived sons of the Emerald Isle he purposes turning into citizens. PURGED of all the ill-humors of her mind, Mrs.
This cost me strange crosses, not that I cared for the losses, but I seemed to be the butt of all the ill-humors of the family. With what pleasure did I sacrifice temporal blessings. How often I felt willing to have begged my bread, if God had so ordered it. But my mother-in-law was inconsolable. She bid me pray to God for these things. To me that was wholly impossible.
He did not suppose any one had dared to guess at, much less talk over what he felt, and dreaded; but his servants watched him, and read his face and his ill-humors and fits of gloom, and discussed them in the servants' hall.

The transitory expression in his eyes Eleanor saw it now with triumph was that of one who has thrown a pearl away. But he followed. Dining with Mark Heath in the Hotel Marseillaise that night, Bertram fell into a spell of musing, a visible melancholy uncommon in him; for his ill-humors, like his laughters, burned short and violent.
Though bearish in his manners and arrogant in dispute, especially when talking "for victory," Johnson had a large and tender heart. He loved his ugly, old wife twenty-one years his senior and he had his house full of unfortunates a blind woman, an invalid surgeon, a destitute widow, a negro servant whom he supported for many years, and bore with all their ill-humors patiently.
