"By heavens, if ever you do it again if ever you dare show to yourself in my house; or give my name at a gambling-house or at any other house, by Jove at any other house or give any reference at all to me, or speak to me in the street, by God, or anywhere else until I speak to you I disclaim you altogether I won't give you another shilling." "Governor, don't be provoking," Altamont said surlily.
Breakfast over, Denman sent Florrie below, ordered the dishes and table below, and again put the irons on Billings and Daniels. Then he went among them. "What do you mean to do?" asked Forsythe, surlily, as Denman looked down on him. "Keep us here and starve us?" "I will keep you in irons while I have the power," answered Denman, "no matter what I may do with the others.
The Senora did not realize how time was going; there would be no shearers to be hired presently, since the Senora was determined to have none but Indians. Of course, if she would employ Mexicans, as all the other ranches in the valley did, it would be different; but she was resolved upon having Indians, "God knows why," he interpolated surlily, under his breath.
In these circumstances, Chivers's half satirical suggestion that Collinson should be added to the sentries outside, and guard his own property, was surlily assented to by Riggs, and complacently accepted by the others.
"There is nothing that mortal man can do, madam," said the doctor, surlily. He disliked Ida Edgham, and yet he felt apologetic towards her that he could do nothing. He in reality felt testily apologetic towards all mankind that he could not avert death at last. Ida's brilliant color faded then; she ceased to smile. "I think I should have been told," she said, with a sort of hard indignation.
"You startled me by throwing open your door so suddenly just as I was about to knock," he continued; "but you haven't seen anything of a stray monkey this morning, have you?" "Not until this moment," answered the man, surlily, "and I don't want to see any more of him. Good-day."
"It is not fair to the men to keep them longer." "Well, you're a soldier's son, and know best, I suppose. Give the word yourself." Ralph hesitated, for his companion's words seemed to be tinged by a sneer, but he knew that it was madness to stay, and hesitating no longer, he gave the word to retire. "We're not going back for your orders," said one of Mark's followers surlily.
Had it to do with young Beaudry? From his reflections the cattleman came to an alert attention. Miss Rutherford was giving Meldrum instructions to arrange her bed in the back room. The convict hesitated. "I can't leave him here alone with you," he remonstrated surlily. "Why can't you?" demanded Beulah incisively. "He's tied to the bedpost and I have my gun. I can shoot as straight as you can.
Henceforward, he thought, his life would be less agreeable, less free. Iakov had surely guessed what Malva was. Meanwhile Malva, in the cabin, was trying to arouse the rustic with her bold eyes. "Perhaps you left a girl in the village?" she asked suddenly. "Perhaps," he responded surlily. Inwardly he was abusing Malva. "Is she pretty?" she asked with indifference. Iakov made no reply.
"Where's the beer?" he demanded. "You've got the key of the cask," said the housekeeper. Captain Barber, whose temper was rising, denied it. "I gave it to you this morning," said Mrs. Church; "you were going to do something to it, don't you know?" "I don't remember," said Uncle Barber, surlily. "Whatever has happened to your memory?" said Mrs. Church, sweetly.
