He was a great lover of gaming, whether of chucking, tossing up for money, or cards, and extremely ill-humoured and quarrelsome whenever luck was not on his side; which shews, that whatever people may pretend, avarice is at the bottom, and occasions all the fondness so many testify for play.
But he said no, for it seemed unfair to live better than his comrade, and just then the vision of Bob Dimsted looking very jealous and ill-humoured rose before him. "I'm in a hurry to get back," he said. The woman nodded, and Dexter hastened back to the water-side. "I was just a-going without yer," was his greeting. "What a while you've been!"
Formerly, he found great pleasure in doing so; but now, the sound of the precious metal awoke no feeling of satisfaction within his heart as it used to do, but rung in his ears with a funereal sound. He thought it foretold his doom. He continued thus for weeks, a miserable, ill-humoured, irritated and troubled man. The month of August came, warm almost to suffocation. Mr. Rougeant often felt cold.
Embarrassed by Mr. Hervey's reproaches, and provoked to find that Belinda was proof against all her raillery, Lady Delacour grew quite ill-humoured towards her. Belinda, unconscious of having given any just cause of offence, was unmoved; and her ladyship's embarrassment increased.
I am a bad, dissipated man. . . . Now, thank God, I am quieter and I have no strength of will, but in old days when you were little I had determination, will.

"That woman looks stupid and ill-humoured," she thought; "I am sure she can't amuse him. No, he must be bored by her he never was by me." Of a Star and Garter night Lord Steyne used also to put on his grandest manner and to look and speak like a great prince, as he was. Becky admired him smiling sumptuously, easy, lofty, and stately.
Rex looked grave but did not appear in the least disturbed. 'So? he ejaculated. 'Really! Well, I can put a silver thaler in my cheek and save my teeth, at all events. They are very good. A roar of laughter greeted this response. 'But that is contrary to the code, objected the student, laughing with the rest. He was not an ill-humoured man in reality. 'Yes I was joking, said Rex.
As for Rosamund, she looked ill-humoured, frankly bored to-day but oh, how pretty and dainty, next to the commonplace Dolly! Rosamund's gleaming fair hair curled naturally all over her head; she had lovely, startled-looking eyes which went oddly with a very determined, if beautifully moulded, mouth and chin.
