Lord Baxby duly placed his forces, and there was no longer any immediate danger. By this time Lady Baxby's feelings were more Parliamentarian than ever, and in her fancy the fagged countenance of her brother, beaten back by her husband, seemed to reproach her for heartlessness. The dissension grew bitter between them, reaching to little less than a hot quarrel, both being quick-tempered souls.
Tom was only sixteen years of age, but he was well-built and athletic for his age, and was moreover as brave as a lion, though somewhat quick-tempered and impulsive. He put out his left hand and, placing it against Lem's chest, pushed him back. "Hold on, Lem Hicks," he said. "Just you stand back. One at a time talking with Dick is enough.

He's a quick-tempered man, Packer is, but quick over. I never knew him to keep no such a black temper as this." "They always say that you can't drive a Packer," said Chauncey, tugging against the uneven waves.
The personal descriptions of this remarkable man that have come down to us, show him as a man of small stature, quick-tempered, choleric, sturdy and bluff. "As a little chimney is soon fired," wrote the Puritan historian Hubbard, "so was the Plymouth captain, a man of very little stature, yet of a very hot and angry temper."

There were other children, too, many of whom are dead now, and not a few whose very names I have forgotten.
These were mere passing clouds over the bright horizon of their lives, such as it is almost impossible for any two people living together in the same relationship to escape. Both were sensitive, and each had certain qualities peculiarly calculated to irritate the other. Mary was quick-tempered and nervous. Godwin was cool and methodical.
