He spoke in the hall or dining-room, to be sure, but joined them no more in plans or on the gallery. And Molly turned petulant. Why had they ever come to Aden, she moaned.

"I do trust you," the voice was impetuous, almost petulant. "You are a real man: I merely give you credit for being better than the class of rich young men of whom you pretend to be an absolute type. But there, I waste words and time. Is my costume for this little opera boufe satisfactory to you? Do you like my warpaint and battle armor?" She stood before him, a glorious bird of paradise.
The old man now feeling satisfied that Jerome's dark complexion was the immediate cause of the catastrophe, said in a somewhat petulant tone, "I will be glad, sir, if you will leave us alone."
