She had contrived to open it, and the coins ran in every possible direction. Drummond was now on the boat. "All aboard," growled the guard surlily. "All aboard." "Go ahead, go ahead," shouted Murray, trying to pick up the scattered change and scattering it the more. At last he understood. "Go ahead. We'll take the next boat. Can't you see the lady has dropped her purse?" The gates closed.
Moreover, he wasn't used to taking his tub in a tin-cup. "Thank your lucky stars it didn't get into Mother's room," he said surlily. I silently thanked them. He made such a row about his tub that I had to give him the pail of hot water Britton had placed in my bedroom, preparatory to my own bath. At breakfast Jasper complained about the bats.
"Nay," said mine host, "Robin will have it that some further evil is upon us tho' methinks we have got our fill and to spare with this drought ay, and 'twas at thy house, Dickon, he saw the corpse-light." "Better a corpse-light than six open mouths, and naught to fill them," said Dickon surlily. "Whither away, Robin? 'Tis not far this beast will travel."
The monk sighed. Perhaps he was disappointed to find that Pharaoh had so much knowledge. "And you?" he said, turning to me. "I am a Christian," I answered, surlily enough, for I did not like this examination. "We are both Christians, master," said Pharaoh. "Maybe we think not as you do on some points, but 'tis naught.
"I've run over to inquire how little Joe is," he said, conscious of the grim opposition to his visit in the very air that hung around the farmer. "I happened to meet Miss Dixie Hart just now on her way here, and she was considerably upset." "Nothin' wrong with the boy," Pitman muttered, surlily.
I found him at last, busy trenching some ground at the back of Shock's kitchen, as I called the shed where he cooked his potatoes and snails. As I came up to the old fellow he glanced at me surlily, stopped digging, and began to scrape his big shining spade. "Hullo!" he said gruffly; and the faint hope that he would be sorry died away. "Ike," I said, "I'm going away." "What?" he shouted.
Some of the children ventured into sight, but remained utterly unmoved by the young man's tentative advances. He heard people moving about inside, but no one came near him. Finally, just at dusk, the youngest man protruded his head from the doorway. "Come to supper," said he surlily. Bob ducked his head to enter a long, low room.
"I did," growled Tom, surlily, "and just you mind as your missus washes it out and irons it flat for you to give it me agen next time you comes to Rockabie." "I will, mate," said the smuggler, quietly. "There," he added, after drawing a long, deep breath, "I'm beginning to come right again. Yes, it is a bit dark to-night," he added, after staring about him for a minute or two.
To my great joy he was called from me by the mate, who cried down the hatchway, bidding him come up at once, as there was "something in sight." Captain Barlow evidently wanted me to come on deck with him; but I was resolute. I said I would stop below to have another try at his stories. He went on deck surlily, saying something about "You wait," or "You whelp," I could not catch his exact words.
First Selectman Sproul halted for a few moments on the steps of the town house the next morning in order to gaze out surlily on the left-overs of that day of celebration. Smyrna's village square was unsightly with a litter of evil-smelling firecracker remnants, with torn paper bags, broken canes, dented tin horns and all the usual flotsam marking the wake of a carnival crowd.
