You'd have thought anyone would have let it go at that, but would old Scrymgeour? Not a bit of it! Of all the poisonous..." "Yes, I know. Go on." "Well, the thing ended in the blighter hauling him out from under the chair and getting more and more shirty, until finally he laid into him with a stick. That is to say," said Ginger, coldly accurate, "he started laying into him with a stick."
The position is this: A venerable archdeacon wrote an article on the patriarch Joseph " "And didn't know anything about him," interrupted Mr. Bellingham, "and got tripped up by a specialist who did, and then got shirty " "Nothing of the kind," said Miss Bellingham. "He knew as much as venerable archdeacons ought to know; but the expert knew more.
Re-enter BILL, with his mouth full. Bill. Now what are you two a squabblin' over? Oh! Jack's got a yennep, and Jim's iookin' shirty. Jim. She told him to divide it, and he won't. Bill. Who told him? Jim. Mattie. Bill. You dare, Jack? Hand over. Jack. Be hanged if I do. Bill. Then do and be hanged. Now you go and buy what you like. Jim. Am I to give Jack the half? Bill. Yes, if our Mattie said it.
"I have a poor head for whiskey." "Thanks for the tip." "Pardon?" "I mean to say," Phinuit explained, "I'm glad to have another weakness of yours to bear in mind." "You are interested in the weaknesses of others, monsieur?" "They're my hobby." "Knowledge," Monk quoted, sententious, "is power." "May I ask what other entries you have made in my dossier, Mr. Phinuit?" "You won't get shirty?"
A man who gave his name as Ember and got a bit shirty when I asked his business. Told him you might consent to see him at nine in the morning." "And the other?" "A young woman deuced pretty girl also reticent. What was her name? Brooke that was it: Cecelia Brooke." "The devil!" Stanistreet exclaimed, dropping the papers. "What did you say to her?" "What could I say, sir?
He fielded badly, which always makes him shirty. Jephson, too. You'll have a bad time with Jephson. His one wish after the match was to have your gore and plenty of it. Nothing else would have pleased him a bit. And think of the chaps in the House, too. Just consider what a pull this gives Monk and his mob over you. The House'll want some looking after now, I fancy.

The body of the letter, scrawled in a round, schoolboy hand, dealt principally with the details of the booby-trap which the general had successfully laid for his head of staff. "He was frightfully shirty," concluded the note jubilantly.
No, I thought I 'd give him a lecture first, as I had him well covered, about being so ornery mean, and while I was talking Shirty rushed in, hot on the trail, and swore he 'd let daylight through me if I did n't give him first chance at the sneak.
There was a lot of holly left over for decorations. We used very little for the sauce. The money that was left we spent very anxiously in other things to eat, such as dates and figs and toffee. We did not tell Matilda about it. She was a red-haired girl, and apt to turn shirty at the least thing.
"Well, what have you to grumble at now? Don't I hand you a five-franc piece every day that you are at work?" "But that ain't good enough. Come, don't get shirty; all I asks is a rise of salary.
