Waynefleet watched her open it and made a little sign of impatience. "You are very clumsy this morning," he said.
The soldiers found the outer door securely fastened, and, though they thundered for admittance, there was no response from within. In their impatience, some broke down the door, while others scaled the walls.

Henrietta made a gesture full of impatience, as she said, "At least, you know all the court knows." "I know nothing at all, Madame." "Not the scene in the storm?" "No, Madame." "Not the tete-a-tete in the forest?" "No, Madame." "Nor the flight to Chaillot?"
Gryce told me I was to be sure and tell him how she was looking." "Eh, poor bairn! she is not very first-rate," the old woman answered tenderly. At least it was tenderness in her: in another person her voice and manner might have been taken for crabbedness and impatience. "She's up by there, on the fell somewhere.
