"I shall stay to the last, to the end of the Session," said Carmen. "And NOW I shall go." She got up and pulled her shawl viciously over her shoulders, with a pretty pettishness, perhaps the most feminine thing she had done that evening. Possibly, the most genuine.
'Well, at any rate, the story would come with so much better a grace from him that I shall give him the chance; I won't go over to the Hall till the end of the week; he may have written and told his father before then. Cynthia held her tongue for a little while. Then she said, with tearful pettishness, 'A man's promise is to override a woman's wish then, is it?
Prohack, with an imitation of pettishness, as though he had been steadily advocating a change of scene for days past; but he had done nothing of the kind. "Oh!" Eve cried piteously, "that's the one thing I can't do!" Dr. Veiga laughed. "Afraid of the expense, I suppose?" "No," Eve answered with seriousness.
Madame Piriac signalled to him a salutation of the finest good humour. She had forgotten his pettishness. By absolutely ignoring it she had made it as though it had never existed. This was her art.

"There is not another girl left in the city to be mentioned the same day with Edith Allen," said Gus, with the pettishness of a child from whom something had been taken. "Well, spooney, what are you going to do about it?" asked Mr. Van Dam coolly. "What is there to do about it? You know well enough that I can't afford to marry her.
It was hardly a time to play with mammets or to tilt with lips, and it seemed that the matter might wait. There was a good deal of the pettishness of nervousness among us at that time, and I had my full share of it. Insomnia was prevalent, and gray hairs increased and multiplied. The time was drawing near for our meeting with Pendleton in Chicago.
