'Now, Hubert, Hubert, get out of my way, she would say, feigning a charming petulance; or she would come and drag him out of his chair, saying, 'Come, Hubert, I can't allow you to lie there any longer; I have to go to South Water, and want you to come with me? And walking together, they seemed like an Italian greyhound and a tall, shaggy setter.
What He does, we do not indeed know at present, but, as far as we shall be permitted to know hereafter, we shall see that his most inscrutable procedure was guided by consummate wisdom; that our choice was often as foolish as our petulance was provoking; that the success of our own wishes would have been our most painful chastisement, would have diminished our happiness, and detracted from His praise.
"Well, I shan't trouble you long; I can take myself off in no time," he says, good-humoredly, drawing to one side to let her pass. "No no; you can stay with me if you care to," she says, wearily, ashamed of her petulance. "Care!" he says, reproachfully; and then, coming nearer to her, "you are unhappy! Something has happened!" he says, quickly, "what is it?"
It seemed to be manifest to her, from his present manner, that he would never ask the question again; but she was sure, let it be asked ever so often, that it could not be answered in any other way. Mr Amedroz, not knowing why it was so, became cross and querulous, and scolded his daughter. To Belton, also, he was captious, making little difficulties, and answering him with petulance.
He did not drink it; did not you see? he left three-quarters of it." Sir Roger does not answer, unless a slight shrug and a passing his hand across his face with a rather dispirited gesture be an answer. I feel ashamed of my petulance. "Do you feel inclined to tell me about your ill news?" I say, gently, going over to him, and putting my hand on his shoulder.
The thought of the Parisian world that he had left behind, its frivolity, its petulance, its disputation over all things in heaven and on the earth, its profound deadness to all civic activity, quickened his admiration for the simple, industrious, and independent community from which he never forgot that he was sprung. But no Catholic could enjoy the rights of citizenship.
Why can't you, as Mr Headstone said to me this very evening about another matter, leave well alone? What we have got to do, is, to turn our faces full in our new direction, and keep straight on. 'And never look back? Not even to try to make some amends? 'You are such a dreamer, said the boy, with his former petulance.
A brisk and rather crisp east wind had arisen, which had no respect for persons, and even Faith and Dolly in their high-necked country dresses had to handle their tackle warily. Dolly had a good start, and growing much excited with the petulance of the wind and with her own audacity, crossed the mouth of the brook at a very fine pace, with the easterly gusts to second her.
The very anger in her voice was silvery, as it were, and more like the petulance of a seventeen-year-old beauty. “What nonsense! A Blunt doesn’t hire himself.” “Some princely families,” I said, “were founded by men who have done that very thing. The great Condottieri, you know.” It was in an almost tempestuous tone that she made me observe that we were not living in the fifteenth century.
He shook his head and drooped. "No doubt, sir," he said. "But as far as you are concerned," Mr. Hazlewood continued briskly, "you can throw no light upon it?" "Not a glimmer, sir." Mr. Hazlewood was disappointed and with him disappointment was petulance.
