"It is our fate, you see, to be made prisoners. You were very nearly taking us, and now here we are." "A nice trick you played me," the sergeant said, surlily, "with your woodcutters, and your lame brother, and your sick sister, and your cask of beer. I got a nice reprimand over that affair." "Come, sergeant," Ralph said, laughing, "let bygones be bygones.
'Blest if here isn't Pegtop, said Milly. And the weather-stained red coat, the swarthy forbidding face and sooty locks of old Hawkes loomed in sight, as he stumped, steadying himself with his stick, over the uneven pavement of the yard. He touched his hat gruffly to me, but did not seem half to like our being where we were, for he looked surlily, and scratched his head under his wide-awake.
"I don't know what else you call him," says young Cusack, rather surlily, for he is very wroth at the way Telson has sneaked himself into a rather better position than his own; "he's he's a Limpet, you know." "Limpets," says a gentleman near, "are the boys in the middle school." "Rather a peculiar name," suggests the captain.
"Well, well, well," said the goat, surlily, "keep quiet and I'll carry you. But you make me very tired, Rinkitink, with your ceaseless chatter." After making this protest Bilbil began walking up the hill, carrying the fat King upon his back with no difficulty whatever.
The animal scampers, grunting, up the alley, as Mr. Korner, in his shirt sleeves, throws his broom after him, and the policeman surlily says he wishes it was the street commissioner.
The passenger whispered a word in the ear of the grim blackguard who had seized him, and his arm was instantly released. "Hist! a pal, he has the catch," said the blackguard, surlily. The group gave way, and by the light of the clear starlit skies, and a single lamp hung at the entrance of the alley, gazed upon the stranger.
Burroughs, apparently disconcerted by the intrusion of a third party Leonidas upon what was evidently a private inquiry, murmured something surlily, and passed out. Leonidas was puzzled. That big man seemed to be "snoopin'" around for something!
During vacation time he would regularly undertake long journeys on foot into distant parts of the land, traversing no end of mountains and valleys, and always returning home more surlily disposed towards the lord of the manor than ever, at the same time dropping mysterious hints in the presence of his confidants, and talking darkly of old expectations being realised, of extraordinary forthcoming events, and of important changes in the general order of things here below.
When he had knocked the ashes from his pipe he ordered Minna, surlily, to bring him his hat and coat; he must pay a visit to that rascal Sohnstein, he said; and so went out. He left the two women lost in wonder; and Aunt Hed-wig, because of his characterization of her dear Sohnstein as a rascal, disposed to weep.
"You'll find a boat moored by the landing there," said that functionary; "and give a call for young Alf, he'll do to steer you." But this would not suit Riddell at all. "No," said he; "I want Tom, please, and tell him to be quick." The man went off surlily, and Riddell was left to kick his heels for twenty minutes in a state of very uncomfortable suspense.
