Pointing to the food, he surlily ordered me to eat, and immediately again locked the door. Hungry as I had been a short time before, my heart was too full for me to eat; and the blows I had received pained me very much.
There were wild animals and birds enough on the Red-hill to last for food for a long while; and there alone could they get fuel. "You can't catch game without my dog," cried Roger, surlily, to Ailwin; "and my dog shan't put his nose to the ground, if you don't feed him well: and he shall be where I am, mind you that."
A glance at the items and their cost will, I feel sure, force you men to acknowledge that they are the best money can buy." He passed half the file to Dollard, the remainder he handed to a big fellow next him for distribution. The totals alone were startling. "We hain't had a dollar's worth of them things, and you know it," Dollard exclaimed surlily, looking up suddenly, as he read.
There was a general look of squalor and stolid depression about the people too: the landlord was a black-browed, surlily silent sort of man, his wife and the one maid-servant looked frightened and anxious, and the only voices to be heard were those of half-tipsy peasants drinking and quarrelling at the bar. To say the least, it was not enlivening. Yet my pride was aroused.
Haughtily Billy responded that this was permitted, and displayed a self-prepared document, gorgeous with red seals, which made the man scowl, mutter, and shake his head and retire surlily to his door, and finding a black-veiled girl peering out of it at Billy, he thrust her violently within. But Billy had caught her eyes and tried to look all the significance into them of which he was capable.
I was sent by the inhabitant to the work-house, to which he had surlily bid me go, saying, he 'paid enough in conscience to the poor, when, with parched tongue, I implored his charity.
"You know him as well as I do," he answered ambiguously, pocketing the tip I produced. "I don't know his name." "Then neither do I," retorted the man surlily.
"Hadn't he got the binnacle-light on his phiz all the time, captain?" "Then who did help them? Some one fastened that line. Look, there it is." A lantern was held out over the stern, and there was a murmur of voices. "That line doesn't belong there, and wasn't there yesterday," cried Jarette. "There's a traitor somewhere." "All right, cap'n, find him then," said Bob Hampton, surlily.
Thou shalt eat sweet venison and quaff the stoutest ale, and mine own good right-hand man shalt thou be, for never did I see such a cudgel player in all my life before. Speak! Wilt thou be one of my good merry men?" "That know I not," quoth the stranger surlily, for he was angry at being so tumbled about.
"Whar did ye come from?" said Tom. "Chiswell's mines, taking out lead for the army o' Congress. But there ain't excitement enough in it." "And you?" said Tom, turning to Cutcheon and eying his military coat. "I got tired of their damned discipline," the man answered surlily. He was a deserter. "Look you," said Tom, sternly, "if you come, what I say is law."
