He cabled back, 'What shall I pay? I answered, 'Head your dispatch again: Get means get! Some men have got no sense. I did not mind the price of the wine, but it riled me to have to pay for the two cables." He poured out another glass and drank it drop by drop, getting, as he said, "the worth of his money every time." "Have some more?" he said to Farnham. "No, thank you."
Then he's sore because she made some cracks about his girl that's enough to get any man riled. I don't blame Darcy for going off his nut. But he shouldn't have croaked the old lady. He done it all right, and we got the goods on him! You'll see!" "Well, it's your business, of course yours and that of the prosecutor to prove him guilty," said the colonel.
Even light hearted Monty slunk back, "shaking in his shoes," while Leslie dropped his eyes and lost all his bravado. "Hark to me, Squad! Every mortal son an' gal of ye! I'm riled I'm mad. Here am I left in charge, so to speak, of your doin's, and of the work on the ranch, anyways. Your smart-aleck work has turned everything topsy-turvy.
"Tell you what, Peg," I said, "it's too darned bad of Dr. Denbigh, if he just did it for meanness, when you haven't done anything to him. But maybe he got riled because you begged him so to let you be engaged to him.

He said somethin' that dreened my last drop of patience; I give a sharp answer, and fust thing I knew he up with his hand and slapped me. It warn't a hard blow by no means, only a kind of a wet spat side of the head; but I thought I should have flew, and was as mad as ef I'd been knocked down.

If you don't pull up and go our pace I'll knock you off your horse. 'Oh! you're riled! he said, looking as impudent as he dared, but slackening all the same.

She slapped her forehead, settled herself in her chair and continued in a more moderate tone: "Now, tell me what other people in Dorfield have led you to suspect they are not in accord with the administration, or resent our entry into the Great War." Mary Louise gave her a puzzled look.
"How do you do, Miss Sparkes?" began her enemy, not without diffidence as she turned upon him.
