"Say, messmates, hear that?" "Tom Fillot." "Ay, ay, sir." "Where are we?" "Dunno, sir. Here, I think." "But where is here, stupid?" "That's a true word, sir. I am stupid who's this?" "Dick Bannock, AB, it is," said the familiar voice of that seaman. "Know where we are, mate?" "No. Awake, I think." "Well, we know that," cried Mark, pettishly. "Yes, I remember now. I must have gone to sleep."
Parpon laughed again. "Like Madame Chalice from New York fudge!" Yet he eyed her as if he admired her penetration. "How?" he urged. "I don't know quite," she answered, a little pettishly. "But I used to see Madame go off in the woods, and she would sit hour by hour, and listen to the waterfall, and talk to the birds, and at herself too; and more than once I saw her shut her hands like that!
It won't do, you know." I told him very firmly that this was piffle of the most wretched sort. That his caller wore but the prescribed number of garments, each vogue to the last note, and that he was a person whom one must know. He responded pettishly that he vastly preferred the gentleman driver with whom he had spent the afternoon, and "Sour-dough," as he was now calling Cousin Egbert.
He burst upon the musician, and found him in the most undisguisable dumps. "Why didn't you answer my letter, you impolite old bear?" Peter asked, warding off Beethoven with his umbrella. "I was busy," Lancelot replied pettishly. "Busy writing rubbish. Haven't you got 'Ops. enough? I bet you haven't had anything published yet." "I am working at a grand opera," he said in dry, mechanical tones.
'It is only natural that I should be curious, she murmured pettishly, 'if I resemble her as much as you say I do. 'You are handsomer, he said, 'though you are about her own height and size. But don't worry yourself. You must know that you are body and soul united with me, though you are but my housekeeper. She bridled a little at the remark.
Beatrice let her sit still for some minutes, looking at her all the time with an almost piteous glance of entreaty, of which Henrietta was perfectly unconscious, and then began to beg her to undress, seconding the proposal by beginning to unfasten her dress. Henrietta moved pettishly, as if provoked at being disturbed. "I beg your pardon, dear Henrietta," said Beatrice; "if you would but let me!
"How excessively absurd!" she thought, pettishly. "As if either papa or I considered such a person of the slightest consequence!" "You will kindly suspend your opinion, won't you, Major Milroy?" said Allan, in his hearty way, at parting. "With the greatest pleasure!" replied the major, cordially shaking hands. "And you, too, Miss Milroy?" added Allan. Miss Milroy made a mercilessly formal bow.
Her cousin was either more prudent or less vivacious; he did not answer on the instant, but stood looking through one of the windows at the leafless trees and slow-dropping rain in the Mall, and only turned when Lady Betty pettishly repeated her statement.
She added, pettishly, that if Prince Maurice and other functionaries were left in the enjoyment of their offices, and if the Spaniards were sent out of the country, there seemed no reason why such terms should not be accepted. Barneveld replied that such accommodation was of course impossible, unless they accepted their ancient sovereign as prince.
"Pooh!" said the tawny Calypso, a little pettishly, "pooh! one does not talk of those things here." "Madame," said I, very energetically, "I implore you to refrain. Do not excite too severe a contest between passion and duty! I feel that I must fly you: you are already too bewitching."
