He did not, however, find the lost one, though he made it the entire business of his over-hours to stand about in by-streets in the hope of discovering her, and would start up in the night, saying, 'That rascal's torturing her to maintain him! To which his wife would answer peevishly, 'Don't 'ee raft yourself so, Ned! You prevent my getting a bit o' rest!
The portrait, however, when finished, did not please her; and she remarked rather peevishly "I am surely much handsomer than that!" On the 17th of January, Karemaku arrived with a squadron of two and three-masted ships, and many soldiers, before the harbour of Hanaruro, after having terminated the war at O Tuai quite to his satisfaction.
"Heinz!" she said again; and this time the word was a reprimand. "Ssh! be quiet," said Krafft peevishly, without looking up. The girl took no notice of Maurice's attempt to greet her. Letting fall on the grand piano, some volumes of music she was carrying, she continued sternly: "Another cat! oh, it is abominable of you!
But I say no more. She under whose wing I live now deals the blow. I'm sped 'tis but a chambermaid gone. Catch what's left on't!" and she staggered and sank backwards on to the handsomest fellow in the room, which happened to be Gerard.

He carefully took his spectacles off and donned his reading-glasses to read it, throwing the envelope carelessly into the fire.
After hastily finishing his instructions and dismissing his slaves, Diagoras turned to the impatient Chian, and said: "Now, young warrior, I am all ears for thy speech." "Truly," said Antagoras, "if thou wert aware of what I am about to utter, thou wouldst not have postponed consideration for thy daughter, to thy care for a few jars of beggarly olives." "Hem!" said Diagoras, peevishly.
"Certainly one of the mackerel family, by its head and the great crescent moon tail." "Yes, and the short fins on front, top, and bottom.

"No," said the invalid, peevishly, as he glanced quickly from his sister to the doctor and back. "Thank you for helping me, Alison Dale.
"Elsa" wished never to see me again: that was bad; but it was "Elsa" who was so wicked as to wish that: that was good. And by a curious freak of the mind it occurred to me as a hardship that I had not received so much as a note of one line from "Marie." "Nonsense!" said I aloud and peevishly; and I thrust the letter into my pocket, cheek by jowl with the Cardinal's Necklace.
