They were as completely and coldly separate as though they occupied opposite poles. And the girl who recognized these things, and the man who watched them, only wondered how long it must be before the final disaster came upon them. Jeff's moods had become extraordinarily variable. There were moments when his moroseness became threatening.
He is thought to be identified with Thomas Crager, whose wife had been hanged in Salem as a witch, and whose only child had been stolen by Indians. After a long, vain search for the little one he gave way to a bitter moroseness, and avoided the habitations of civilized man and savages alike.
Government, while it grows older, seems to acquire the moroseness of age; and as if our property were become dearer in proportion as it increased, as if the more enormous our wealth, the more extensive our fears, all our possessions are paled up with new edicts every day, and hung round with gibbets to scare every invader.
These articles were all landed in boats, and conveyed with more or less difficulty up to one of the large buildings before-mentioned, and there housed. There was great jubilation among the men at the sight of so rich a cargo; Ralli, the Greek, quite laying aside his former moroseness of manner and exhibiting an almost childish delight at the sight of the bullion and the kegs of dollars.
Anyhow I redeemed my promise and gave him Doria's message. He received it with a grumpy nod and said nothing.

Creech contracted a melancholy, and moroseness of temper, which occasioned the disinclination of many towards him, and threw him into habits of recluseness, and discontent.

"What passes for 'fascinating mystery' in him now will be plain moroseness sometime. He is 'taciturn' now; he'll be cross, then. It is 'erratic' when he won't play the piano to-day; but a few years from now, when he refuses some simple request of mine, it will be stubbornness. All this it will be if I don't love him; and I don't. I know I don't. Besides, we aren't really congenial.
At the sight of a stranger standing in the doorway, however, her features resumed the habitual expression of harshness and moroseness. "What do you want?" she asked roughly. "Why do you come in without rapping at the door? I don't know you! who are you?"
The follies and the vices, the weariness and the sadness, the discontent and the moroseness of life, all spring from the want of a just conception of its relations and its value, such as can be attained only by calm, deliberate reflection, out of which wise opinions evolve, and are gradually shaped into a creed such as forms the bone and muscle of a wise and noble Character.
