"If monsieur is ready!" mademoiselle interposed, a little petulantly, letting the tip of her boa play for a moment on his cheek. Selingman finished his wine and rose to his feet. Once more the smile encompassed his face. Of what account, after all, were the wanderings of this melancholy Englishman! There was mademoiselle's bracelet to be bought, and perhaps a few flowers.
There were three strokes he had taught Victor, and the poet had not used one of them. "Why did you let those opportunities pass?" he asked, petulantly. "Some day I may need those strokes. The vicomte does not know that I possess them." Victor smiled; then he frowned. "He is made of iron; he is a stone wall; but he is not as brilliant and daring as you are, Paul."
The only thing about it that really struck him was its note of finality. This was no petulantly written dismissal. She had thought it well out; she really meant it. He was jilted! The word stung him into life. His face flamed. A wave of passionate anger swept over him. He was jilted! The detestable thing for which he had always so deeply pitied other men of his acquaintance had happened to him.
Reassured he murmured over his shoulder, "Yes 212 that's right!" and he turned the key again. Milly frowning petulantly continued her examination of the dirty yellow brick face of her new home. She could not yet acquiesce sufficiently in the fact to mount the long flight of steps that led from the walk to the front door.
"Were you ever known to answer a plain question plainly since you were born?" he cries, petulantly. "When are you likely to come really?" "'I know not! What avails to know?" reply I, pompously spouting a line out of some forgotten poem that has lurked in my memory, and now struts out, to the anger and discomfiture of Mr. Musgrave. "Ah! here are the doors opening."
When Chris's turn came he threw back his habit petulantly, and administered his own punishment as the custom was, with angry fervour. As he was going out the Prior made him a sign, and took him through into his own cell. "Counter-accusations are contrary to the Rule," he said. "It must not happen again," and dismissed him sternly.
Geraldine shivered, and drew her fur-lined cloak more closely around her as she stepped from the train, and looking ruefully down at her little French boots, said petulantly: "Why do they never clear the snow from the platform, I wonder, and how am I to walk to the carriage? It is positively ankle deep, and I with silk stockings on!" Mrs. Geraldine was not in an enviable frame of mind.
Ere the fire had kindled, the rain came down in torrents, and, the matted roof being resonant, they heard it strike here and there above their heads. Helen sat down on her little stool and reflected. In that hut were two persons. One had foretold this, and feared it, and provided against it. The other had said petulantly it was a bugbear.
Do you know what a blind alley is?" "Yes," she said petulantly, "and I'm in one." "Quite so," said Blizzard. "And you're not taking the right way out. First you tried to climb up the house on the right, then the house on the left, and when I interrupted you, you were making a sixth effort to shin up the lightning-rod of the house that blocks the alley." Barbara laughed.
A few of our working-men have given colour to this charge by exclaiming petulantly that they could not be worse off under the Germans; but in this they have done themselves and their class less than justice. The anti-militarism and cosmopolitanism of the masses in every country is a profoundly interesting fact, a problem which demands no superficial investigation.
