And the majority recognized the deliberate purpose lying behind his calmest assurance. The agent knew that his protest had touched the limit, consequently there was nothing left him but to carry out instructions to the letter. He hated the position. His face twisted into a wry grin. "Guess you don't leave much to the imagination, inspector," he said sourly. Fyles was moving away.

Calhoun will have to take his fill on his own land from the day I send him the command of the London Government." "And what day will that be, your honour?" To be questioned by one who had been a revolutionary was distasteful to the governor. "That day will be when I find the occasion opportune, my brave Boland," he said sourly. "Why 'brave, your honour?" There was an ominous light in Darius' eye.

Gom, if I wudna pinch fifty 'osses to be fetched out o' clink by such a bonny lady, begging your ladyship's pardon." "She shall fetch you out," said I sourly, "when you're jailed for not stealing." "His honour's commands are a law unto his handmaiden," said Margaret demurely and icily, addressing him, but aiming point-blank at me.

But the captain scowled at him, and Peppe frowned. "She is a rebellious jade," quoth the captain sourly. "Nay, softly," returned Francesco; for all that he still laughed. "If you were of knightly rank I'd break a lance with you on that score. As it is " he paused, his laughter ceased, and his dark eyes took the captain's measure in a curious way. "Best leave her uncensured, Ser Capitano.

Little, with his bandages and his hobble, had joined in the expedition, and was not to be deterred until faintness overcame him and he dropped by the wayside. He was taken in and given a warm chair before the fire. One long look at Bonner and the newcomer lapsed into a stubborn pout. He groaned occasionally and made much ado over his condition, but sourly resented any approach at sympathy.

Unfortunately, feelings of pity for a person so distraught, so sourly treated by fortune, do not suffice for tragedy. When we contemplate Antigone or OEdipus, it is not with a sentiment of pity struggling against abhorrence. For these reasons the play does not seem to have a good dramatic subject. The unity is given by Mary herself and her fortunes, and these are scarcely dramatic.

His eyes were blue and staring like a newborn babe's, but behind their look of childlike innocence there lurked a crafty smile.

"Ha," replied Sancho, shaking his head, and looking sourly on the knight with a side face, "have you again forgot that I am no knight? Keep your brewings for yourself, in the devil's name, and let me alone."

"I tell you what we'll do," said Keller, then: "We'll unload on them both stories, or we won't tell them either. Which shall it be?" Dixon understood that an ultimatum was being served on him. For, though his former foe was smiling, the smile was a frosty one. "Just as you say. I reckon it's your call," he acquiesced sourly. "No I'm going to leave it to you," grinned Larrabie.

The top-dog spirit was fast oozing out of me, and I sat there sourly dusting the skirts of my poor country-tailor-made coat. The men were lined up on the rough moorland track, Donald at their head, and the two pipers filling their bags and fingering their chanters behind him.
