The wolf now, coming from shrift clean absolved from his sins, went about to do as a certain shrewish wife once told her husband that she would do, when she came from shrift. "Be merry, man," quoth she now, "for this day, I thank God, I was well shriven. And I purpose now therefore to leave off all mine old shrewishness and begin even afresh!" VINCENT: Ah, well, uncle, can you report her so?
Had she said that Sophia looked excessively cross, she would scarcely have been beside the mark. "Well, Warman," Miss Granger replied, in rather a shrewish tone, "I am out of spirits. I have been very much annoyed this evening by papa's attentions to by the designing conduct of a young lady here." "I think I can guess who the young lady is, miss," Warman answered shrewdly.
Esther, the eldest, was a girl of considerable beauty, and amiable temper. Caroline, the second child, was plain in person, and of rather shrewish disposition; she was a most indefatigable housewife, and was never so happy as when in possession of a dust or scrubbing brush; she would have regarded a place where she could have lived in a perpetual state of house cleaning, as an earthly paradise.
He had already fallen in love with Ann at the Hallerhof, and never quit her side although, after I had overheard certain sharp words by which Ursula Tetzel strove to lower the maid in his opinion, I told him plainly of what rank and birth she was. For this he cared not one whit; nay, it increased his pleasure in making much of her and trying to spoil her shrewish foe's sport.
Jealous accusation, sharp recrimination, manly expostulation, shrewish aggravation; angry threat, summary dismissal. Fuming on one side, pouting on the other. Reaction, approximation, exclamation, exoneration, reconciliation, osculation, winding up with a grand pas de circomstance, expressive of confidence re-established and joy unbounded.
ANTHONY: Nothing, but that it eased her shrewish stomach beforehand, to think that her husband should be hanged afterward. And peradventure, if you look about the world and consider it well, you shall find more such stomachs than a few.
Hysterically again with shrewish emphasis she began to repeat: "I won't be a nurse! I tell you, I won't! I won't!" "Pray what brought you so suddenly to this remarkable decision?" scoffed the Senior Surgeon. "A letter from my father, sir," she confided more quietly. "A letter about some dogs." "Dogs?" hooted the Senior Surgeon. "Yes, sir," said the White Linen Nurse.
The ship's bell tolled at daybreak, and all the ladies but the bride were with poor Mrs. Curling at the funeral. Mrs. Seymour lay in her berth, and whined complaints of "that horrid bell." She displayed something between an interesting terror and a shrewish anger because there was "a body on board."
But England unvirtuous will be like a cautiously calculating, somewhat shrewish matron, possessed of unnatural and unbecoming friskiness, without either laugh, or song, or smile her one god, Gold, and her one commandment, the suggested eleventh, "Thou shall not be found out!" I slept that night on deck.
Only she was weak, hopelessly weak, and so all these things drove her to a shrewish discontent and peevishness. "Oh, there's no peace where you are," she cried, passionately flinging her book aside and springing to her feet. "Do you think I can't look to this miserable home you've given me? I hate it. Yes, I hate it all. Why I married you I'm sure I don't know. Look at it.
