In the late evening Meynell returned to the Rectory a wearied man, but with hours of occupation and correspondence still before him.
"Tin head or no tin head," he grumbled, "I could teach those mother's darlings up there the difference between a battery of artillery and a skittle-ally." "I believe you've mentioned the matter to them already," I observed softly. Marigold met my eye for a second and then looked rather sheepish.
And so we carried her off before we knew where we were or she either," added Captain Jack as a mendacious after thought. "Well I'm ," reiterated Curwen who then rubbed his scrubby, bristling chin, scratched his poll and finally broke into another grin this time of the kind classified as sheepish.

And all afternoon Adine Lough was in close conference with such as these! Landy returned to Jode's place sooner than he was expected. There was a sheepish grin on his weathered face.

Kate saw his confusion, and smiled. Ben, catching the expression of her face, looked inconceivably sheepish.
When we rushed down the cellar after him, he swung the thing round again and simply walked out of the front door. Damn it, man, it's open!" They hurried outside. French blew his whistle. One of the plain-clothes men came running up from the avenue. He was looking a little sheepish. "What's wrong?" French demanded. "He's gone off," was the unwilling reply.

Thinking he had come to reproach me; I asked him rather sharply what he wanted. He shifted his hat from one hand to the other and looked sheepish. "Your pardon, sir," said he, "but your honour must be very ill-served here."
