"Does the notice state where she believes she lost the ring?" "Yes; it says, 'Somewhere between Madison Hall and the library, or in Madison Hall. Between you and me, I wonder if she really did lose a ring? It would be just like her to start this new excitement about herself on purpose to get sympathy. She must be awfully peeved yet over basket-ball. I feel almost like a villain at practice.
The pater would be more than peeved if I didn't wait for him and his diplomatic expectations. But if he doesn't get busy pretty soon, I think I'll hike it over to New York, and see what's doing." Gorham smiled in spite of the boy's earnestness. "Surely your father would realize how much in earnest you are if you talked to him as you're talking to me now."
Even if you fled and found another unknown land high and dry, or a town, what could you do, having not the remotest idea how to live in a town with only pieces of metal to get food out of instead of the mango-tree that had stood behind the house your grandfather built ever since you were born and dropped mangoes whenever you were hungry?

I had shown I was bored and peeved and had gone to bed before the hostess indicated it was bedtime. It "was n't done" in England. "What do you do if you can't keep awake?" I asked. "You slip out quietly, go to your room ask a maid to call you after you have had forty winks, then you go back and pretend you are having a good time," said Tom.
"It would have been curtains for the whole bunch. They must have been wild at the lacing you handed them." "I guess they were rather peeved," grinned Bart. "I'm sorry I had to throw away my rifle, though," mourned Tom. "Tom would find something to grouch about if he were in heaven," laughed Frank.
My dear boy, can you blame me for being peeved, enormously peeved, when I reflect that Hoky, one of the best pals in the world, is probably lying as dead as a pickled mackerel somewhere back yonder? Or if he has escaped death in his felonious enterprise he may have met the constable and be awaiting the pleasure of a grand jury of righteous farmers of the old commonwealth of Maine!"
This was a virtual refusal by Austria-Hungary to be bound by or concerned with the submarine agreement between her ally and the United States. The tenor of the Vienna note is in substance this: 'We are willing to negotiate, but first you must furnish us with the necessary material undebatable material at that. It is quite comprehensible that Washington is peeved at this censure."
