Now, Kate, be stirring; they will be here to-night, and we must look our prettiest." "The hateful, prosy man! I'll not do anything to make his visit agreeable," said I, pettishly. "Why, Kate, what are you conjuring up in your foolish little noddle?" "Oh, I supposed an éclaircissement would come round somehow, and we should finish the romance in style."
When these three were gone Lady Lesbia expressed herself strongly upon Maulevrier's folly in bringing such a person as Mr. Hammond to Fellside. 'What are we to do with him, grandmother? she said, pettishly. 'Is he to live with us, and be one of us, a person of whose belongings we know positively nothing, who owns that his people are common?
You have let them adore you, and utterly spoil you; so now sometimes, Hector, you are insupportable." "You just said I was attractive." "I shall not argue further with you," said Mrs. Ellerwood, pettishly. "And I think we ought to be saying good-night, Hector," interrupted the silent Jack. "We are making an early start for Fontainebleau to-morrow, and Monica likes any amount of sleep."
'Well, I did try once or twice, said Lucy, pettishly, 'but I've always told you that sort of thing isn't in my line. Of course I understand about giving away, and all that. But he'll hardly let you give away at all! He says it's pauperising the people. And the things he wants me to do I never seem to do 'em right, and I can't get to care a bit about them.

"Why, not exactly, Eustace," he answered; "though I confess I think it rather a strange request to make just at this time."
The king rose half pettishly, observing that "Son Excellence a apparement perdu la tete," and I rushed forward to shake hands with Lord Callonby, totally forgetting the royal censure in my delight at discovering my friend. "Lorrequer, I am indeed rejoiced to see you, and when did you arrive." "This evening."

They came away, working the fans more pettishly than ever, and liquid voices were heard to hiss scornfully that the Republic, which proclaimed respect for all religions and rights, was a lie, for its first thought was to trample on the national religion, and to dispossess an inoffensive corporation of cloistered ladies of their right to then property.
