Well, I suppose you are right, Pickle. I did feel in an awful temper; but I don't feel quite so bad now that I have found my watch." "And pencil-case, uncle." "Ah, yes, my boy. That was the gift of a very grateful old patient." "And then there are all those gold napoleons, uncle." "Bah! Trash! Base counters, good for nothing, like the ugly head that's upon them," cried Uncle Paul irascibly.
"Use!" irascibly retorted Mr. Williams, "he could not play a psalm if it were to save his life. I depended upon Jupp. It was an understood thing that he should remain with me as assistant; had it not been, I should have taken good care to bring somebody on to replace him. As to attending the services on week-days myself, it is next door to an impossibility. If I do, my teaching will be ruined."
"We can hardly accept your assertion that we should get nothing in the event of bankruptcy. We fancy you greatly underrate the possibilities. Fifteen hundred a year is the least you can do for us." "See you d -d first." Another silence followed, then Ventnor, the solicitor, said irascibly: "We know where we are, then."

In surly tones Truxton replied to his sharp query, saying that the candle had gone out while he slept. "It is noon," said the old man irascibly. Then he came in and lighted a candle. "Noon of the 25th," said Truxton bitterly. "In twenty-four hours it will be all over, eh, Spantz?"
"No, sir, we don't I mean I was mistaken, sir! But, you see, it looked so so queer, you coming in like that " "Queer! What was queer about it!" demanded Mr. Drummond irascibly, "No one but a parcel of young idiots would think it queer!" He took an envelope from his pocket, tossed it into the safe, closed door and panel and faced them again. "Who are you, anyway? I don't remember you."
"Has that grog been served out, Waters?" "No, your honour; it's just a-going to be done." "Go and stop it." "Stop it, your honour? The men's grog?" "Go and stop it, I say," cried the lieutenant irascibly. "I shall not send the expedition to-night."
"Is that a boy or a girl kid, grandpa?" he inquired, when the gardener returned. "Hold your tongue!" replied the old man, irascibly. Suddenly he seized the boy by his two thin little shoulders with knotted old hands.
"But, my good sir," interrupted the Governor irascibly, "whilst I admit the possibility to which you allude, I do not admit that a dead man, and a heavy one at that, can be carried up a ladder of silk and bamboo! Yet, on the evidence of my own eyes, the body of the prisoner, Samarkan, was removed from the mortuary last night!"
"Ay, and no wonder 't is a sad surprise to ye," went on Mr. Meredith, irascibly. "There shall be no more stolen interviews ay, or kisses from henceforth, ye Jerry Sneak! Come out of the hall, Janice, and have done with this courting by stealth." "I call Heaven to witness," retorted Jack, hotly, "if once I have acted underhand; and you have no right " "Pooh!
"Your instructions were to find out all about this man who he is, what he does, where he goes, and the rest. This is my preliminary report. You didn't mention diamonds." "I didn't know he would have them," Mr. Latham exploded irascibly. "That empty gripsack, man when he left here he carried millions I mean a great quantity of diamonds in it."
