If a quarrel took place, the whole play was spoilt. Arthur was very touchy, and Billy Pillins really Philips was worse. Then Paul had to side with Arthur, and on Paul's side went Alice, while Billy Pillins always had Emmie Limb and Eddie Dakin to back him up. Then the six would fight, hate with a fury of hatred, and flee home in terror.
He went home in a touchy temper. The first thing he heard was his wife's agitated: "George! DID you remember to go to Vecchia's and get the ice cream?" "Say! Look here! Do I ever forget to do things?" "Yes! Often!"
He does nothing to obtain them, it almost seems as if he did not want any. He is not coarse, noisy and foul-mouthed, like the rascal Groult who amuses the whole ward. He is only dull and reserved. He does not often say "Thank you" when he is offered something, and many touchy people take offence at this. When I sit down by his bed, he gives no sign of any pleasure at my visit.
Helene: ``I stole nothing from Mme Gauthier except one bottle of wine. If I commit a larceny it is from choler. It was when Helene began to poison for vengeance that retribution fell upon her. Her fondness for the bottle started to get her into trouble. It made her touchy.
You know, yourself, that Mrs. Todd has queer ways of her own." "She is not perfect, certainly." "Not by a great deal; and Mrs. Jones has not hesitated to say so. There is not the least doubt in my mind, that Mrs. Todd has heard something." "Perhaps so; but she is very foolish to take any notice of it." "So I think; but you know she is touchy."
You will find there landladies devoured with jealousy, astute housekeepers, delightful boys, wise peasants, touchy shopkeepers, all the cosas de Espana and, in addition, the pale girl Rosario. I recommend that pathetic and silent victim of fate to your benevolent compassion.
And I wish you would tell her so." Within a few days after this Deborah wrote to her father that she was coming the next week. He said nothing to Edith about it at first, he had William saddled and went for a ride to try to determine what he should do. But it was a ticklish business. For women were queer and touchy, and once more he felt the working of those uncanny family ties.
"You don't have to worry yourself about it," returned Roy warmly. "It's mine, and I presume I can do anything I please with it." "Awful touchy to-night," muttered Rackliff. He lighted a cigarette, but the first whiff threw him into a most distressing fit of coughing and he flung it out through the open door. "Can't seem to get anything out of a smoke," he complained.
I suppose he is going upon the old business of the willow-tree. As Sir ROGER was giving me this account of Tom Touchy, Will Wimble and his two companions stopped short till we came up to them. After having paid their respects to Sir ROGER, Will told him that Mr. Touchy and he must appeal to him upon a dispute that arose between them.
"Yes," said Brummy, resentfully, "an' you'll always be thrown' it up to me afterwards that I done you out of a job!" "I'll swear I won't," said Swampy, hurriedly. "But since you're so blasted touchy and suspicious about it, you take this job an' I'll take the next that turns up. How'll that suit you?" Brummy thought resentfully.
