But I couldn't let you go on talking like that and calling me by it, now could I?" The mutinous young waiter brought their food and thumped it truculently down before them. "Look out!" said Dean with sudden violent harshness, the vein in his forehead darkening ominously. "What do you think you're doing, feeding cattle?"
Goes up to the Abbey Inn of a night he do, him and that there Gipsy Hawkins, the prettiest pair o' rascals in Upper Crossleys. Drove all the decent folk away from the place, and Martin keeps the best beer about here, too. If I was Martin," continued the ancient, truculently, "I'd know what to say to them two, I would; aye, and what to do to 'em," he added with great ferocity.
Then Roger Stapylton said, more truculently: "Yes, sir! on account of a boy-and-girl affair five years ago, this half-strainer, this poor-white trash, has actually had the presumption, sir, but I don't doubt that Pat has told you all about it?" "Why, no," said Colonel Musgrave. "She did not mention it this afternoon. She was not feeling very well. A slight headache.
"I don't reckon I'll grub," he said. "Then of course you have been to Lazette," she returned. "You had dinner there." "Look here," he said truculently; "does it make any difference to you where I've been or what I've done?" "Perhaps it really doesn't make any difference," she answered calmly; "but of course I am interested. I don't want you to starve." His face expressed disgust.
Deacon demanded truculently, and then went on to deny the half-caste's knowledge. "You chaps put on a lot of side over a new chum. I've done some sailing myself, and this naming a craft when its sail is only a blur, or naming a man by the sound of his anchor it's it's unadulterated poppycock." Peter Gee was engaged in lighting a cigarette, and did not answer.
"Well," truculently, "if you were young?" The marquis's bold and fearless eyes sparkled with fire. "I am an old man; vain wishes are useless. You are a coward, Monsieur; one of the coarser breed; and I say to you if my son had not challenged you or had accepted an apology, I would disown him indeed.
"Yeh c'n tell it all to the magistrate to-morrow morning. Meantime yeh'll have time to think up a yarn explainin' how it come that a crook like Anisty made three attempts in one day to steal some jewels, 'nd didn't get 'em. Where were they all this time?" "In safe-keeping," Maitland lied manfully, with a furtive glance toward the alcove. "Whose?" pursued Mr. Hickey truculently.
"But you won't get them anywhere now, Miss Godden. It's just between seasons in another month ..." "I must have 'em now," said Joanna truculently, "I don't care what I pay." It ended in the telephone at the Post Office being put into hysteric action, and a London shop admonished to send down peaches and grapes to Rye station by passenger train that afternoon.
An' where's the bloomin' boss?" "Better see 'im in the mawning," supplemented Black Whiskers, truculently. "He's busy now. Works all night sometimes, 'e does. But there's a vacancy or two, I know, for factory 'ands. Bin a bit of riotin' an' splittin' uv state secrets. But the fellers wot did it are gorn now" he laughed a trifle grimly "won't never come troublin' 'ere again.
"Now a glass of beer and so to bed. 'Night." Haney waved his hand. The three of them marched off, the two huge figures of Haney and the Chief, with Mike trotting truculently between them, hardly taller than their knees.
