It was the thought in me, when you spoke. And with good reason, too. I was the last of a large family the ugly one; the ill-tempered one; the encumbrance that made it harder than ever to find money enough to pay the household expenses. My father swore at my mother for being my mother.
A stately squadron of snowy geese were riding in an adjoining pond, convoying whole fleets of ducks; regiments of turkeys were gobbling through the farmyard, and Guinea fowls fretting about it, like ill-tempered housewives, with their peevish, discontented cry.
The general saw no way of keeping her; and he did not even wish to do so, thinking her only a quarrelsome, ill-tempered woman. The confidential servant left the house, and even the city. And immediately her revenge and torture of the general began, cutting straight at the root of his happiness, his health, even his life.
Yes, after what we have just seen quite a sentimental little episode, was it not? I can not help cherishing the hope that all is again right between them. It could not have been a very grave quarrel, as Arthur is incapable of a rudeness; but then dearest Florence is so capricious!" "Ill-tempered and capricious!" Can the girl he loves so ardently be guilty of these faults?
I mean to say this that when you have persuaded yourself somehow that you would rather reconsider your promise to Sir Keith Macleod am I right? that it does seem rather hard that you should grow ill-tempered with him and accuse him of being the author of your troubles and vexations.
The guns had got back, and came straggling in one by one, as they dressed, quickly or slowly; and Lord Doraine had such a lovely velvet suit on, and he said such nice things to me; and Lord Valmond sat at the other side, and seemed more ill-tempered than ever. I can't think what is the matter with him.
And the old monster produced THOSE VERY BOOTS which Swishtail had made him take back. I DIDN'T marry Miss Crutty: I am not sorry for it though. She was a nasty, ugly, ill-tempered wretch, and I've always said so ever since. And all this arose from those infernal boots, and that unlucky paragraph in the county paper I'll tell you how.
Listen, Miss Savine, I am as the Almighty made me, a plain and sometimes an ill-tempered man, who would gladly lay down his life to save you sorrow; but if what you say divides us is all there is, then, as long as you remain Helen Savine, I shall cling fast to my purpose and strive to prove myself worthy.
What Philip had been thinking of during my speech I do not know, for I had avoided looking at him, but when it was done he threw the properties out of his arms, and flung them around me with the hug of a Polar bear. "You ill-tempered!" he roared. "You've the temper of an angel, or you would never have come after me like this.
"The insult of the ignorant, ill-tempered woman was purely an accidental display of those qualities, and the slight recognition of your old friend the consequence of the other, for your face certainly expressed the state of your feelings, and your friend was surprised into silence by seeing you in such distress." "That, very likely, is the true explanation. But it did not so impress me then.
