But, finding that he turned uncomfortably cold when he began to wonder which of his curtains this new spectre would draw back, he put them every one aside with his own hands, and, lying down again, established a sharp look-out all round the bed. For he wished to challenge the Spirit on the moment of its appearance, and did not wish to be taken by surprise and made nervous.
The day Miss Braithwaite had the toothache, and you and I ate the fruit-cake her sister had sent from England, he was very anxious. He said we both deserved to be ill." The Princess Hedwig had been blushing uncomfortably, but now she paled. "He dared to say that?" she stormed. "He dared!" And she had picked up her muff and gone out in a fine temper.
The two sick soldiers and the sailor were already up and had begun to play cards, the sailor propped up in his hammock, and the soldiers squatting uncomfortably on the floor. One soldier had his right arm in a sling and his wrist was tightly bandaged so that he had to hold the cards in his left hand or in the crook of his elbow.
Their Majesties, the guests, and all the ministers who had stayed for dinner more than filled the theater. It looked, indeed, uncomfortably crowded. At last every one was seated, and the first syllable, "Ex," was played with great success. It represented a scene at Aix-les-Bains.
"What dost thou hold this property to be worth?" The woman courtesied and replied "Three shillings and eightpence, your worship I could not abate a penny and set forth the value honestly." The justice glanced around uncomfortably upon the crowd, then nodded to the constable, and said "Clear the court and close the doors." It was done.
The lawyer paused, as careful experts do, after bending the bow of an hypothesis, before letting the arrow go. Mr. Gridley felt very warm indeed, uncomfortably so, and applied his handkerchief to his face.

"Oh, Daniel, Daniel, how can you stand it how can you stand it!" she cried, throwing herself upon the man's somewhat unresponsive shoulder. "There, there, Nettie, control yourself, do!" besought the man uncomfortably, trying to withdraw himself from the clinging arms. "But how CAN you stand it! your only son blind!" wailed Mrs. Colebrook, with a fresh burst of sobs.
A messenger had come in hot haste to carry him to Madame de Luxembourg. News had reached her of the proposed decree of the parliament. She knew Rousseau well enough to be sure that if he were seized and examined, her own share and that of Malesherbes in the production of the condemned book would be made public, and their position uncomfortably compromised.
'Louie! he called, after his knock, in a low voice, for he was uncomfortably aware that his household was on the watch for developments. For a while there was no answer. Sandy, absorbed in the interest of the situation, clung close to his father and stopped crying. At last Louie suddenly flung the door wide open.
For it had begun to strike her rather uncomfortably that what she had undertaken was all but an impossibility. She was very conscientious, as I have said, and no self-deceiver.
