Maconochie, the Camp Commandant sighed heavily. "I am a kind of receptacle for the waste products of everybody's mind," he exclaimed petulantly. Then two nuns called and asked me to find a discreet soldier un soldat discret to escort them to Hazebrouck; I told them to take my servant, who is a married man with five children.
Why, father, you know how vulgar and conceited he is, how everybody here truckles to him!" "Very likely; he's a very superior man of his kind, a kind they understand here, too, a great trapper, hunter, and pioneer." "But I don't believe in his trapping, hunting, and pioneering," said the girl, petulantly. "I believe it's all as hollow and boisterous as himself.
"Not I!" and Sah-luma shrugged his shoulders petulantly "Sleep fell upon me suddenly when I left thee, and methinks I must have wandered home like a shadow in a dream! Was I not drunk last night? Aye! and so in all likelihood wert thou! ... little could we be trusted to recognize either King or clown!"
"Can't you use the pole or the oars?" said the bank director petulantly; "you kept me waiting half an hour before you started." "I couldn't help that," replied John Wilford. Mr. Randall walked to the forward platform, fretting with impatience at the indifference of the ferryman.
That is a very petty and even a very wicked thing to do, that old persecuting instinct which says, "I will make it as unpleasant for you as I can, if you will not consent at all events to pretend to believe what I think it right to believe." A man of science does not want to persecute a child who says petulantly that he will not believe the law of gravity. He merely smiles and goes on his way.
"In view of three bandits in slouched hats, although all on the back-track and although I am convinced that it was but their astral apparitions with which you were favored I will venture to intrude my society until I can see you to the Briscoe bungalow." "Oh, there's no intrusion," she rejoined petulantly. "You must know I couldn't mean that!"
The elder girl looked up; her voice was rather dry when she answered: "No, I did not think that." Christine threw her hat aside. "I can't drive a bit," she said petulantly. "I'm so silly! I nearly ran into the wall at the gate." "Did you?" "Yes. Gladys, we're going over to Heston at two o'clock with Mr. Kettering." Gladys looked up. "We! Who do you mean by 'we'?" "You and I, of course."
Eells offered me forty thousand cash and agreed to release you from that grubstake contract " "You throwed the whole thing away, eh?" He had turned sullen now and petulantly discontented and the fire flashed back into her eyes. "Well, is that all the thanks I get? I thought you wanted that contract!" "I did!" he complained, "but if you'd left me alone I'd've got it away from him for nothing.
"I thought so," she sighed resignedly. "Of course no one would have you. It's hopeless." "It's not," he argued sharply, his pride, anger in revolt. He, who had no right to any claim. "We're not compelled to marry each other. It's a free country. It is ridiculous, preposterous." "Oh, don't get so fussy!" she interrupted petulantly. "Don't you think I've tried to kick over the traces?
"I never snub anybody," said Crosbie, petulantly; "that is unless they have absolutely deserved snubbing." "And have I deserved it? Because I seem to have got it," said Lily. "Nonsense, Lily. I never snubbed you yet, and I don't think it likely that I shall begin. But you ought not to accuse me of not being civil to your friends.
