Once before, when a boy of eighteen, and sorely pressed, he had done the same thing, and met with a rebuff from the foreman, who said to him gruffly: 'No, sir; we don't want no more boys; leastwise, gentlemen boys. We've had enough of 'em. Try t'other furnace. Mr. Warner is allus takin' all kinds of trash, out of pity, and if he says "No," go to his wife; she'll get you in.
And this was no more than the simple truth, for she certainly had been a serving maid and never learnt dancing. At this unexpected rebuff, Zurdoki became as red as a turkey cock, and in his fury sought out the most hideous woman in the room. This was old Dame Fürmender, and with her he opened the ball.
Kwaque passed off the rebuff with a silly gibbering laugh and started to step nearer the door to be in readiness to open it at his master's coming. But at first lift of his leg, Michael flew at it. Kwaque immediately put it down, and Michael subsided, though he kept a watchful guard.
Larpent's eyes came definitely down to him, grimly contemptuous. "Do you also suppose that would be the same thing?" he said. Bunny flushed a little, but he accepted the rebuff with a good grace. "I don't know, sir. You see, I've never been the captain of a yacht." Larpent's hard visage relaxed a little. He resumed his contemplation of the distant pine-woods in silence.
I shall be at home this evening and to-morrow evening Why not this evening?" demanded Livingstone almost sharply. "Why, only that it's . However, " The speaker broke off. "I'll be there, sir. About eight-thirty, I suppose?" "Yes," said Livingstone, curtly. He was miffed, offended, aggrieved. He had intended to do a kind thing by this man, and he had met with a rebuff.
"Then some old squaw of the Strike Axe outfit issues forth an' throws the broncos loose. That's to show that the Saucy Willow is a onusual excellent young squaw an' pop'lar with her folks, an' they don't aim to shake her social standin' by acceptin' sech niggard terms. "But the Crooked Claw outfit ain't dismayed, an' takes this rebuff phlegmatic.
A very convenient arrangement for Germany, but not an arrangement that promised well for the peace of the world! Even this rebuff did not dishearten Britain.
"You shouldn't allow it to affect your mind, though. He has sterling qualities, quite an extraordinary character; and I have no fear but he means to behave handsomely to you." I suppose there was never a more topsy-turvy situation; you would have thought it was I who had suffered some rebuff, and that iron-sided Adam was a generous conqueror who scorned to take advantage.
They talked but little together: since the rebuff his enthusiastic confidences had received from Van Loo, Barker had been grave and thoughtful, and Stacy, with the irritating recollection of Van Loo's criticisms in his mind, had refrained from his usual rallying of Barker.
He nodded urbane acquiescence, strolled away immediately, and minutely inspected the surface of the funnel, till some female passengers of Giant's Town tittered at what they must have thought a rebuff for the approaching wedding was known to many on St. Maria's Island, though to nobody elsewhere.
