"I pardon him!" cried Lady Louisa; "I declare I am monstrous glad to get rid of him." "Egad, my Lord," cried Mr. Coverley, "while you are grasping at a shadow, you'll lose a substance; you'd best make your peace while you can." "Pray, Mr. Coverley, be quiet," said Lady Louisa, peevishly; "for I declare I won't speak to him. Brother," taking hold of Lord Orville's arm, "will you walk in with me?"
Larrabie let a hand fall on the shoulder of the other man a brown, strong hand that showed no more uncertainty than the steady eyes. Dixon cursed peevishly, but after a moment he turned to go back. He did not know why he went, except that there was something compelling about this man. Besides, he told himself, his news would keep for half an hour without spoiling.
"I was thinking how exactly she would have suited you, how proud I should have been of such a daughter-in-law, and how happy you would have been with such a wife." Harley started. "Tut," said he, peevishly, "she is a mere child; you forget my years." "Why," said Lady Lansmere, surprised, "Helen is quite as young as Violante." "In dates-yes.

Presently Odalie heard the quick strokes of their axes, alternating with sharp clangs, the blows ringing out briskly on the icy air. The house was very still.

The professor had hardly finished speaking when something dark loomed up through the silvery gloom, and the camels began making a peculiar, complaining sound, while they slightly increased their pace and soon after stopped short, craning their necks and muttering and grumbling peevishly.
"Your lordship was kind enough to say that you had no objection to write a few lines to the First Lord in my behalf. I trust your lordship will not refuse me " "Well," replied he, peevishly, "so I did but I am too old, too old to write I cannot see I can hardly hold a pen." "Will your lordship allow me the honour of writing the letter for your lordship's signature?"
Jim Brentwood had peevishly bet his friend that the lovers would go on shilly-shallying half their lives; but Halbert, with keener vision, had foreseen the very hour of their betrothal, and made a bet of five pounds on the event.
'It's not good English. 'What are you always nagging at Toad for? inquired the Badger, rather peevishly. 'What's the matter with his English? It's the same what I use myself, and if it's good enough for me, it ought to be good enough for you! 'I'm very sorry, said the Rat humbly. 'Only I THINK it ought to be "teach 'em," not "learn 'em." 'But we don't WANT to teach 'em, replied the Badger.
"My sister!" exclaimed Harold, in indignant amaze, "My sister thy deadliest foe! She who never once murmured at neglect, disgrace she whose youth hath been consumed in prayers for thee and thy realm my sister! O King, I dream?"
