Tangle up the strings we have tied to the sheet or anything of that sort?" "He would not; for he knows well it would be the worse for him if he did. It's not likely Mr. Gregg would overlook it if Moriarty did anything that put a stop to Mrs. Gregg presenting the bouquet." "We'll have to chance it anyway, and I don't see that he can do much except sulk, and that won't hurt us.
I saw him drive through in the pony carriage with her, two or three times, and it was easy to see how thoroughly she was enjoying herself." "Well, it was your own fault, my boy. If you choose to sulk down here, and never to go up to the Hall, you can't blame Aggie for letting herself be amused by someone else." "Oh! I don't blame her," James said hastily.
We spread the net too openly. Well," he heaved a sigh, "we live and learn." He turned to the table and took up his riding whip. "I suppose my wife will be in bed and sulk all day because I vetoed the Graydown Races." "Oh, was that the trouble?" said Juliet. He nodded gloomily. "I hate the set she consorts with at these shows. There are some of the Fairharbour set impossible people!
By Christmas Day things had righted themselves a little. Ellen was too young to sulk more than a day or two, and she began to forget her grievances in the excitement of the festival. There was the usual communal midday dinner, with Arthur Alce back in his old place at Joanna's right hand. Alce had behaved like a gentleman, and refused to take back the silver tea set, his premature wedding gift.
Had she ever risen from the outpouring of prayer without the dew of happy tears to bear witness in her eyes to her riven heart? To see her in church was, as it were, to see a child in her mother's lap able to laugh, to play, to sulk and pout, ah, and to tell a fib, being so sure of forgiveness!
You've not been doing anything foolish, have you?" "Peter hasn't," the little man lied cheerfully; "Peter went home to sulk like the unwhipped cub he is; and sulking, was yet decent enough to lend me these rags." "You you're not Peter Kenny?" "No more than you are Molly Lessing." "Molly Lessing! What do you know ? Who can you be? Why are you masked?"
Of the cruelties on board slave-ships, I will mention but a few instances; though a large volume might be filled with such detestable anecdotes perfectly well authenticated. "A child on board a slave-ship, of about ten months old, took sulk and would not eat; the captain flogged it with a cat-o'-nine-tails; swearing that he would make it eat, or kill it.
It seemed as if every evil passion in her nature had been stirred up by this desperate affray and in the fierce swirl of emotions her joy in her victory was strangely mingled with rage at Rimrock. After scheming for months to prove her superiority, and arranging every possible detail, she had been cut down in her pride and seen her triumph turned to nothing by his sudden decision to sulk.
The husband was a taciturn man, and appeared to sulk under the scrutiny of the neighbourhood. The more charitable ascribed his demeanour to sorrow. The punishment his wife had meted out for the blow he struck her had, without doubt, been severe. As for Caius Simpson, his mind was sore concerning the little girl. It was as if his nature, in one part of it, had received a bruise that did not heal.
"I'm sure he will, for we men don't bear malice and sulk and bawl when we come to grief this way, but stand up and take it without winking, like the young Spartan brick when the fox was digging into him, you know." "Then, of course, you'll forgive Fan." "I'll be hanged if I do," growled Dick.
