Maranne observed this ill-humour, this lassitude of the public, and thinking of all the changes which the success of his play might bring about in his simple life, he asked himself, full of a great anxiety, what he could do to bring his ideas home to those thousands of people, to pluck them away from their preoccupation, and to send through this crowd a single current which should draw to himself those absent glances, those minds of every different calibre, so difficult to move to unison.
Such as I have endeavoured to describe him, he remained motionless, his arms doggedly folded across his broad chest, and turning his sullen eyes from corner to corner of the room, as if eager to detect some object on which to vent his ill-humour.
My new drivers were the ugliest, most villainous-looking Koraks that it would have been possible to select in all the Penzhinsk Gulf settlements, and their obstinacy and sullen stupidity kept me in a chronic state of ill-humour from the time we left Kuil until we reached Penzhina. Only by threatening them periodically with a revolver could I make them go at all.
If I had not had occasion to stop there, I might have gone too far, and showed that I had more passions than one. Yet 'tis fit you should know all my faults, lest you should repent your bargain when 'twill not be in your power to release yourself; besides, I may own my ill-humour to you that cause it; 'tis the discontent my crosses in this business have given me makes me thus peevish.
A moment after, half a dozen of the guerilleros burst open the door and rushed in, crying out as they entered: "Quien tira?" "What do you mean?" angrily asked Raoul, who had been in ill-humour ever since the guerillero had refused him a draught of water. "I ask you who fired the shot?" repeated the man. "Fired the shot!" echoed Raoul, knowing nothing of what had occurred outside.
"Here's some grape juice!" Gertie Black hold out a glass to me.... "No, I won't drink that stuff," I replied, with all the petulance and ill-humour traditionally allowed a star. A Sig-Kapp, whom I had got into the play as a supe, slipped me a drink of real booze.... I had to run to the toilet three times before the second act, I was so nervous and excited.
"By the bye, talking of travelling, when is our young friend going away?" There was not a shade of ill-humour in the question. "The day after New Year's I believe." "He has had a very pleasant visit." "Yes," replied Mrs. Goddard, "I hope it will do him a great deal of good." "Why? Was he ill? Ah I remember, they said he had worked too hard.
Attendance, forbearance, patience with Darcy, was injury to Wickham. She was resolved against any sort of conversation with him, and turned away with a degree of ill-humour which she could not wholly surmount even in speaking to Mr. Bingley, whose blind partiality provoked her.
My ill-humour at seeing this deity so grossly sculptured in the gallery, was dissipated by the gracefulness of his appearance in the Tribune. Sleeping figures with me always produce the finest illusion. I easily persuade myself that I behold the very personage, cast into the lethargic state which is meant to be represented, and I can gaze whole hours upon them with complacency.
The dwarf was very much exasperated, and wanting somebody to wreak his ill-humour upon, determined to dart out suddenly, and favour Mrs Quilp with a gentle acknowledgment of her attention in making that hideous uproar.
