"Not quite," replied Frank, smiling in spite of himself at the irascibility of the old gentleman, "and yet I presume that Rubens and Titian began to paint before either themselves or others were aware of the fact that they possessed any genius at all." "Tut, tut," cried Mr Allfrey impatiently, "but what have you ever done, boy, to show your ability to paint?"

To those who appreciate the extraordinary irascibility of the Invisible Man, the rest of the encounter will be easy to imagine. But this is pure hypothesis. The only undeniable facts for stories of children are often unreliable are the discovery of Wicksteed's body, done to death, and of the blood-stained iron rod flung among the nettles.

The noise of those shoes is incessant." She smiled awkwardly at her irascibility, her innate peculiarities that weren't so pleasant and difficult to part from. "I'll turn the tables on you if I can. Do you think God is awful?" "I do, if He exists!" "You go to church." "With my sister, brother-in-law, and their family. We go on occasion. We aren't believers.

They must have made clowns whiten their faces in the dawn of time, and no doubt there were drolls among the antediluvians who enhanced the effect of their fun by that means.

For the longer the dissension endures, the wider and deeper it grows by the fallibility and irascibility of human nature: these are not confined to either side, and finally the invariable end is reached both in the wrong.

The stadholder gave way to fits of passion at the meanness and the insolence to which he was constantly exposed.
