"It will be heavier in a little while. Open it." They obeyed. "Do you think it is large enough?" asked Wrentz. "Large enough for what the girl?" demanded Rocco, who had been sulking since his rebuke. "You are shrewd, Rocco. You have guessed rightly I suppose you'll want to put a pillow in it." "Yes, I would," said Rocco, who was the youngest of the band, "or else I would kill her first.
Céleste watched him with restless activity, made him take physic, applied blister plasters to him, and was constantly waving up and down the house, while the old Amable remained at the side of his loft, watching at a distance the gloomy cave where his son was dying. He did not come near him, through hatred of the wife, sulking like an ill-tempered dog.
Northmour was plainly from home; whether, as usual, sulking in the cabin of his yacht, or in one of his fitful and extravagant appearances in the world of society, I had, of course, no means of guessing.
But now he had a curious sense of relief, as though he had at last thrown down the gauntlet to the thing in the corner. Yet it was but a day since he had been sulking in the traces; but yesterday afternoon that he had been sent to the bank with Denny & Carson's deposit, as usual but this time he was instructed to leave the book to be balanced.
When quite a child Lydia invented falsehoods as naturally as her brother spoke the truth....

"They're all alike," she retorted scornfully. "If you go over to the mill you'll probably find Abel Revercomb sulking and brow-beating his mother because I smiled at you this afternoon. And I did it only to plague him!" "Molly's a good girl," said Reuben, rather as if he expected the assertion to be disputed, "but she was taught to despise folks when she was a baby wasn't you, pretty?"
When this availed nothing, she endeavoured to arouse him by the most frightful representations she could make of the danger they were all in a danger which increased every day, and which required that he should act, and not sit sulking, while the hours flew by which were bringing destruction on their heads.
"Well, there are worse things than being a fool," said Aldous, with insidious emphasis "sulking, and shutting up with your best friends, for instance." Frank flushed deeply, and turned upon him with a sort of uncertain fury. "I don't know what you mean."
His daughter, however, while she submitted to the inevitable, saw no reason why she should deny herself the solace of sulking, nor of avenging herself of his tyranny on "his fine pet," as she, in high indignation, described Larry to herself. Master Coppinger might be a man of property and the owner of Coppinger's Court, yes, or Dublin Castle, for all she cared!
