The woman brought the glasses in a filthy tray, and set them upon the table. Leandro pulled out sixty centimos. "They're ten apiece," corrected the woman in ill-humoured tones. "How's that?" "Because this is outside the limits." "All right; take whatever it comes to." The woman left twenty centimos on the table and returned to the counter.
Since then it was that Bows had taken her in hand and taught her part after part. How he worked and screamed, and twisted, and repeated lines over and over again, and with what indomitable patience and dulness she followed him! She knew that he made her: and let herself be made. She was not grateful, or ungrateful, or unkind, or ill-humoured.
Upon the strength of this unimpeachable fidelity, she thought she might be as ill-humoured as she pleased; she seemed now to think that she had acquired an indefeasible right to reproach her husband, since she had extorted from him the confession that he loved her less, and that he had no crime to lay to her charge.
The literary gifts which might for the sake of synthesis be symbolized in a smile are absent in both. There is as little humour in the one as in the other. Humour, however, sometimes occurs in Unamuno, but only in his ill-humoured moments, and then with a curious bite of its own which adds an unconscious element to its comic effect.
He was aroused by the return of the negro who had gone to announce him, and following now this slave, he made his way through the house to the wide piazza behind it, in whose shade Colonel Bishop and my Lord Julian Wade took what little air there was.

Finishing the service after a fashion, dissatisfied and ill-humoured, he set off for Shuteykino. In the previous autumn a gang of navvies had dug a boundary ditch near Progonnaya, and had run up a bill at the tavern for eighteen roubles, and now he had to find their foreman in Shuteykino and get the money from him.
On such nights he became petty, ill-humoured, irritable, and he fancied now that it was very necessary for him to have the telegram he had received the day before from his brother, though it contained nothing but Christmas greetings. On the table of his wife's room under the box of stationery he found a telegram, and glanced at it casually.
"I don't know, Miss Alice because I never am good, I suppose." "But what has been the matter to-day?" "Why, those apples! I thought I would come here so early, and then, when I found I must do all those baskets of apples first, I was very ill-humoured; and Aunt Fortune saw I was, and said something that made me worse.
Mrs Harrel declared herself unequal to following this advice, and said that her whole study was to find Mr Harrel amusement, for he was grown so ill-humoured and petulant she quite feared being alone with him. The house therefore now was more crowded than ever, and nothing but dissipation was thought of.
'I am very sorry, miss, I answered; 'but I but, no; I can't come. 'You are a disagreeable, ill-humoured lad, she returned disdainfully; 'and I ought not to have asked you. I shall never speak to you again. As I stood with my eyes fixed on the fire, after she was gone, I felt that the farmer bent his brows upon me. 'Eh, lad! said he; 'Sylvy's right.
