Oliver, alarmed and indignant, supposing this intrusive spectator of his privacy to be some bold and lawless tramper, stepped out of the room, opened the front door, and bade the stranger go about his business; while the terrier still more inhospitably yelped and snapped at the stranger's heels. Then a hoarse voice said, "Don't you know me, Oliver? I am your brother Randal!
Before I could enter protest or excuse, he was already rattling glibly away at his benevolent work; and when I perceived that he was misnaming the things, and inhospitably amusing himself at the expense of an innocent stranger from a far country, I held my peace, and let him have his way.
Robert had insisted that the pater was all wrong in his idea that it was proper for him alone to receive the visitor, and for the mistress of the house to linger inhospitably after it was known that she must know of the visitor's arrival. Robert had coerced his mother into doing the correct thing.
Turning about we saw, clustered at the entrance, the band of Indians who had met us so inhospitably at the beach. They peered into the dark cave cautiously at first. But as soon as they saw Long Arrow and the other Indians with us, they came rushing in, laughing, clapping their hands with joy and jabbering away at a tremendous rate.
On and on they travelled through the endless, boundless white, over wind-swept rocky hills so inhospitably barren that even the snow could not find a lodgment on them, or over wide plains where the few trees that grew had been stunted and gnarled into mere shrubs by winter blasts.
The grey, rocky bluff, that fronted them, looked parched and forbidding. It seemed to frown inhospitably upon them as they drew near. "O brothers! should there be no water!" This exclamation was hardly uttered, when the mule Jeanette, hitherto lagging behind, sprang forward in a gallop, hinnying loudly as she ran.
"Oh, the new agent? Oh yes; I believe he's a very good man." "You don't expect to be 'boycotted' for going to the Castle, do you?" "And why should I be? But I haven't been inside of the Castle gates for twenty years. And here they are!" he cried out suddenly, pulling up his horse just in time to avoid driving him up against a pair of iron gates inhospitably closed. It was by this time pitch dark.
At sight of Carroll, Lawrence laid down his paper and rose to his feet. "Well?" he inquired inhospitably. Carroll laughed lightly. "It got too much for me. Too much youth. I dropped in here for a chat with you folks." "I didn't understand that you had come to call on us," said Lawrence coldly. "Why, I didn't " "You did!" snapped Lawrence. "I'm no fool, Carroll.
He had not tasted food since six o'clock, and I was obliged to kindle the fire to prepare his dinner. It was one of the hardest tasks I ever performed; I almost fainted with the heat, and most inhospitably rejoiced when his dinner was over, and I saw him depart. Shortly afterwards, my friend Mrs. C and her brother called in, on their way from Peterborough. "How do you bear the heat?" asked Mrs.
"You look kinder peaky-faced. Anything wrong?" "Nothing," replied Mintie. "You ain't a-worryin' about your Pap, air ye? I reckon he kin take keer of himself." "I reckon he kin; so kin his daughter." "Shall I put my plug into the barn?" "We're mighty short of hay," said Mintie inhospitably. Smoky Jack stared at her and laughed.
