Your mere puny stripling, that winced at the least flourish of the rod, was passed by with indulgence; but the claims of justice were satisfied by inflicting a double portion on some little tough, wrong-headed, broad-skirted Dutch urchin, who sulked and swelled and grew dogged and sullen beneath the birch.
The Duchesse de Bourgogne used then to pretend to sulk, too; but the other did not hold out long, and came crawling back to her, crying, begging pardon for having sulked, and praying that she might not cease to be a source of amusement!
"Then I am mad at you, and I am going to stay mad," said the tiger, and he sulked in his cage. Tum Tum was not very much afraid of the tiger now, even though he knew the bad animal might some day get loose and scratch him. "I don't believe Sharp Tooth will ever get out," said Tum Tum to himself. The big elephant had good times in the circus.
But not even this freakish return of summer could rouse him from the grumpy mood which held over from the night before. He scanned the front yards on the street as he sulked along to school. How slowly grass grew in the fall! Not a lawn needed trimming, and as for freeing them from leaves, the nearly denuded boughs made such operations unnecessary. Coin of the realm seemed further away than ever.
Flurry pouted and sulked; her heart was at Scutari, and her wits went wool-gathering, and refused dates and the multiplication table. To make matters worse, it commenced snowing, and there was no prospect of a walk before luncheon. Miss Ruth did not come down to that meal, and afterward I sat and knitted in grim silence.
Good, wasn't it?" Mrs. Williams he said had been weeping her eyes out over our desolate end; and even the skipper had sulked with his food for a day or two. "Ha! Ha! Drowned! Excellent!" He shook me by the shoulders, looking me straight in the eyes and the bizarre, nervous hilarity of my reception, so unlike his scornful attitude, proved that he, too, had believed the rumour.
Marie had met him once for a walk along the Graben. She had worn an experimental touch of rouge under a veil, and fine lines were drawn under her blue eyes, darkening them. She had looked very pretty, rather frightened. Stewart had sent her home and had sulked for an entire evening. So curious a thing is the mind masculine, such an order of disorder, so conventional its defiance of convention.
Collier was heavy with sleep, but Lambert and Webb, who still sat on the floor with their backs propped up against a sofa, were full of song. Dennison sulked in a corner; he told me afterwards that I had hurt his head. Ward and I by violent efforts got Lambert and Webb upon their legs and propped them up against each other.
"Why," replied the little fellow, "I never got the signal." "Guess you were too busy getting your sea serpent," smiled Ned. "Did you pull?" asked Jimmie. "Sure. Jack and Frank are out there now, ready to beat you up for keeping them out so long." The prisoner turned his face away from the two and sulked. "There's the boys now," Jimmie said. "Let them in."
He was rejected as Governor, and not even chosen as one of the Council. This hurt him deeply, he sulked in a somewhat undignified manner, and at length in August sailed home, never to return. He had flashed like a brilliant meteor across the dull life of the colony. He made strife at the time, but afterwards there was no bitterness.
