"She evidently did, though," I said snappishly, "since he's let her rope him in for such a wild goose chase as this!" In my heart I felt convinced that the clever Mr. Shaw was merely Miss Browne's partner in imposture. "Oh, really, now. Miss Harding, you don't think it's that that the thing's all moonshine?" He stared at me in grieved surprise. "Why, what else can it be?"
She spoke somewhat snappishly, it seemed to me. "I never thought of that," murmured the Woman of the World. "It is to be noted in connection with the argument," I ventured to remark, "that we hear but little concerning the wives of intellectual men. When we do, as in the case of the Carlyles, it is to wish we did not."
When Bert picked up his riding-whip and turned to leave the store, he saw Bob leaning against the counter, mechanically folding his letter, while his eyes were fastened upon the floor, at which he was scowling savagely. "What's the matter?" asked Bert. "No bad news, I hope." "Well, it is bad news," replied Bob, so snappishly, that Bert was sorry that he had spoken to him at all.
"I won't drink tea at that outlandish hour for any one," said Cousin Egbert rather snappishly. "You will at least refuse it like a man of the world, I hope," she replied icily, and he drooped submissive once more. "You see?" she added to me. "Quite so, Madam," I said, and resolved to be firm and thorough with Cousin Egbert. In a way I was put upon my mettle. I swore to make him look like some one.

"She does not mean anything " begins Gertrude; but Marcia interrupts, snappishly, "I do mean something, too, if you please, Miss Grandon," with a bitter emphasis on the Miss. "And I think turn about fair play. She jilted Floyd and he jilted her, it amounts to just that, and for once Violet came off best, though I doubt "
"I have been told," she remarked, rather scornfully, "that gentlemen are fond of the society of chorus-girls I suppose they enjoy a certain freedom there that they don't meet elsewhere." "Neither Miss Ross nor Miss Girond is a chorus-girl," he said though he wasn't going to lose his temper over nothing. "They have both sung in the chorus," she retorted, snappishly.
It's really too bad." "I have no doubt papa has good reasons for what he is doing, Warman," answered Miss Granger, with dignity. "O, of course, miss; gentlefolks has always good reasons for their goings-on!" Warman remarked snappishly, and then "took it out" of one of Miss Granger's bonnets during the process of packing.

"There has been a deal of trouble here, Mr. Peytral, over your absence from home, as no doubt you have become aware; and I was telegraphed for by your daughter. My name is Hewitt Martin Hewitt." Peytral's face changed instantly. "I know your name well, Mr. Hewitt," he said.
"Thank you," said Mark, and could have eaten the word and his tongue into the bargain the moment he had spoken. This was blunder number three, and the worst yet! For so anxious was he to clear himself of the reproach of abasing himself before his head boys, that his next inquiries were made brusquely and snappishly. "And Barnworth?" "I am, sir." "And Stafford?" "I am, sir." "And Felgate?"
And the election is by committee he'll get in all right. What does he want with it? oh, I don't know. Perhaps he has been disappointed in love and seeks for a little consolation in card-playing."
