Mostly these had travelled along the creek-bottom, showing they were blacks or cinnamons. Once Thor struck the scent of another grizzly, and he rumbled ill-humouredly. Not once in the two hours after they left the sunrock did Thor pay any apparent attention to Muskwa, who was growing hungrier and weaker as the day lengthened. No boy that ever lived was gamer than the little tan-faced cub.
But it did not seem that he enjoyed the same pleasant dreams for he groaned and tossed about, and when he awakened was ill-pleased at having to continue the same work which he had ill-humouredly laid aside the evening before. How often did Mary look at him in silence, and think of the difference between him and her Jesus.
There followed a contention, conducted ill-humouredly on the part of Gonzaga and scarcely less so on the Count's, Francesco stoutly refusing to communicate his business to any but Valentina, and Gonzaga as stoutly refusing to disturb the lady at that hour, or to lower the bridge.
Kirillov listened open-eyed and appeared to be trying to reflect, but he seemed beyond understanding now. "Damn it all," Pyotr Stepanovitch cried all at once, ill-humouredly, "he hasn't signed it! Why are you staring like that? Sign!" "I want to abuse them," muttered Kirillov. He took the pen, however, and signed. "I want to abuse them." "Write 'Vive la republique, and that will be enough."
Five minutes or so afterward he heard the shooting of bolts and the rattling down of a chain, the door was opened, and a pretty-looking maidservant, with sleep still in her eyes, confronted him ill-humouredly. "How late you are!" cried Frank. "No, sir; please, it's you who are so early. We didn't go to bed till past one." "Is Lady Gowan up yet?" "Lor' bless you, sir, no!
When I last saw Amelius, you were learning your lessons at the Home. What ill wind, Miss, blew you in here? Did Amelius fetch you, or did you come of your own accord, without waiting to be whistled for?" He spoke coarsely but not ill-humouredly. "If I guessed that you ran away from the home," he resumed, "should I guess right?" She answered with a sudden accession of confidence.
It gave me confidence for a day or two then that confidence dropped. I had fancied him reading it with relish, but if Corvick wasn't satisfied how could Vereker himself be? I reflected indeed that the heat of the admirer was sometimes grosser even than the appetite of the scribe. Corvick at all events wrote me from Paris a little ill-humouredly. Mrs.

But in vain. And so it went on, with the sleeper sometimes apologetic, sometimes imploring, till it was broad daylight; and then Bob rose and shook himself. "I say, 'tain't fair," said Dexter ill-humouredly. "Well, why didn't you make me get up!" "I did try, lots of times." "But you didn't half try. You should have got me quite awake." "It's too bad, and I'm as sleepy as can be," grumbled Dexter.
"Mass' George hungly?" said a familiar voice; and there was Pomp's contented face before me, as he came up hugging to him some slices of bread. "No," I said, ill-humouredly, "I can't eat; my leg hurts me so." "Pomp can," he said; "and him hand hurt too. Missie Morgan want to see Mass' George."
