She looked sort of miffed when I said this, and then I said that she could set up with him any time she wanted in my sitting-room in the basement, what is real comfortable furnished and pretty-looking and which you too is perfectly welcome to bring any gentleman company to any time you've a mind.
During these two weeks of the meeting, some one introduced him to Miss Sallie. Now, remember, he didn't play her for a favorite no more than any other. That's what miffed her. She thought he ought to. "One Sunday afternoon she intimated to him, like a girl sometimes will, that she was going home, and was sorry that she had no companion for the ride.
His estates cannot be more precious to his heart, if he is a man of honor; nay, what is better than honor, his duty requires him to come to the side of these children, though he be ever so constrained by business or pleasure to attend to more worldly concerns."

"Don't get miffed about it, man," returned Nome with an irritating laugh. "All's fair in love and war. That was love down there, 'pon my word of honor it was, and this is about as near the other thing as I want to come."

Its dismay was so comical that Father Orin laughed till the woods rang with his hearty, merry voice.

She smiled bitterly; he noticed it, but went on: "You are a Cresswell, even if you have caught Harry up to some of his deviltry," she started, "and got miffed about it. It'll all come out right. You're a Cresswell, and you must hold yourself too high to 'Mister' a nigger or let him dream of any sort of equality."

"No-o," slowly drawled Rube, apparently "miffed" at being thus interrupted. "It ate me." The laugh that followed this retort restored the old trapper to good humour again. "Did you go it raw, Rube?" asked one of the hunters.
I'm going to entertain a lot this spring and summer, and you're a really useful house guest" "Thanks, indeed! How do I qualify?" "By your nice, kind, entertaining qualities. You're an all-round nice man, Chick, and I don't care who knows my opinion. And now, do you go and make up to Elise." "Yes, ma'am. Between you and me, ma'am, she's a bit miffed not?" "Hush!
