She smiled and one of those disquieting shapes seemed to me to be floating lazily and repellently downward, out of sight.
"If I can be of any service to your Reverence," replied Wolf, taking the prelate's delicate hand to kiss it; but the almoner, with visible coldness, withdrew it, repellently interrupting him: "First, Sir Knight, I must ask you for an explanation. Where the plague is raging in every street, we ought to guard our own houses carefully against it." "Undoubtedly," replied Wolf, unsuspiciously.
It appeared that the poor little draggled bird had in the summer of its days been known as Ellen Forbes had got into arrears with the rent; as some cheque had been greatly delayed, and that when the cheque had arrived she had been taken away to the fever hospital with typhoid fever, and that, since she had to lie on her back for three weeks, Ellen, who was left alone in that wee house he rolled his tongue round the loneliness repellently had neither sent the cheque on to her nor asked her to write a cheque for the rent.
I am about to know the family, and may have much to do with them. Is the lady so very alarming? Her father gives her such a portentously hard-headed reputation, that I have a burning desire to know.

The burdensome silence was broken by Miss Nunn's saying repellently, 'I haven't asked for your confidence, remember. 'No and if you try to imagine what it means for me to be speaking like this I am not shameless. I have suffered a great deal before I could bring myself to come here and tell you.
Only let them remember that love must dwell in the will as well as in the heart. But whatever the nature of Malcolm's influence upon Lady Clementina, she resented it, thinking towards and speaking to him repellently. Something in her did not like him. She knew he did not approve of her, and she did not like being disapproved of. Neither did she approve of him.
