"Not a thing." I had been readjusting the handkerchief, but I happened to look up unexpectedly. My glance caught a flash of meaning that passed between the two. It seemed to hint at a triumphant mockery of my plight. "Caine is a deep-sea brute, mean-hearted enough to be pleased at what has happened," I thought peevishly. Later I learned how wide of the mark my interpretation of that look had been.
He begged my pardon for the freedom of his supposition, saying, "I really was off my guard, from astonishment that any man can be so much and so unaccountably his own enemy. But where, Madam, can he possibly be!-has he left the room!-or has not he been in it?" "Indeed, Sir," said I peevishly, "I know nothing of him." "I don't wonder that you are disconcerted, Madam; it is really very provoking.
"Know what?" demanded the latter in reply, feeling his heart sink. "The Russians are coming!" sighed Mr. Krause. "That is a silly tale," cried Kretschmer peevishly, with an impatient gesture. "Would to God it were!" groaned Krause; "but the news is, alas, but too true, and it can no longer be doubted!" "Man of misfortune," cried Mr. Kretschmer, "who told you so?" "Pfannenstiel."
"Come," said he to an old knight, who was peevishly blaming the lieutenant-governor, "it was my own fault; I spoke but now to Aymer de Valence with more authoritative emphasis than his newly-dubbed dignity was pleased with, and this precise style of obedience is a piece of not unnatural and very pardonable revenge.

"I've never tasted better broiled ham in my life, Mr. Poopendyke." "Ham! That's it, Mr. Smart. But what I'd like to know is this:" What became of the grouse you ordered for dinner, sir? I happen to know that it was put over the fire at seven " "I sent it up to the countess, with our compliments," said I, peevishly. I think that remark silenced him. At any rate, he got up and left the room.
"Denis, come down a minute," she said, "come down, will you? here's a stranger that you haven't seen for some time." "What stranger?" he inquired, peevishly. "Who is it? I wish you wouldn't bother me I'm talkin' with a gentleman." "It's Ginty." "Ginty, is it?" said he, musing. "Well, that's odd, too to think that she should come at this very moment.
"I am very little obliged to Mr. Francis Kennedy for his pains," said the lady peevishly; "suppose he lets the boy drop from his horse, and lames him? or suppose one of the cannons comes ashore and kills him? or suppose "
Look at that." "Yes, I see; you lifted it up and it fell down again." "Yes. There's no strength in it. It ain't dead yet?" "Didn't seem like it," said Pen, smiling cheerily. "You lifted it up." "Yes, I know; but it fell back again. And what's the matter with my voice?" "Nothing." "Yes, there is," cried the boy peevishly. "It's all gone squeaky again, like it was before it changed and turned gruff.
"I'm a little out of form, I guess. This arm I strained it last spring seems to have gone lame all of a sudden." "Would you like to get in a canoe with some of the girls?" asked Dr. Grayson solicitously. "I would not," replied Monty somewhat peevishly. "Please let me alone, Uncle, I'll be all right in a minute.
