"I can't come into camp in this state. I won't," he replied pettishly. "Well, you are rather a sight, but from what I gathered there it seemed to me they'd be glad to see you under any conditions. I'll look over your work here, if you like, for a couple of days, and you can pull yourself together while Faiz Ullah feeds you up."
"Do not count!" cry I, pettishly; "what is the use? not all the counting in the world will make him any younger." "It is not true!" cries Bobby, with boisterous skepticism, jumping up from his seat, and making a plunge at me; "it is a hoax! she has been taking us all in! Really, Nancy, for a beginner, you did not do it badly!"
I come on my own hook; she didn't know anything about it." Malcolm drummed on the desk with nervous fingers.

Just then there was a burst of cheering, and the crunching noise made by wheels. "Here they are," cried Mercer excitedly. "Oh, I say, I do wish you were better! I should like to lick those Hastings chaps." "Then why don't you go?" I said pettishly. "Go and bowl."

'I have not always an ailment, said Fanny, pettishly; 'and I am not going with mamma.
It is a quiet end, they say the devil knocks at the gate of the monastery often at midnight, but he never enters in, never unless perchance you are he!" Varillo turned himself about pettishly. "If I were he, I should not trouble you long," he said. "Even the devil might be glad to make exit from such a hole as this! Who is your Superior?" "We have only one Superior, God!" replied Ambrosio.
I say nothing of the many millions... I only wish that I was a man! 'I don't know that I have any special ambition that way, I rejoined. 'I am very happy in my warm Eden with my Clodagh.
