Oh, I know the kind afraid of their own shadows, and no more spunk in them than in so many sheep. That 's what they are sheep. Well, I 'm not a sheep, and there 's no more to be said. And I don't want to go on your picnic, and, what 's more, I 'm not going." The tears welled up in Bessie's brown eyes, and her lips were trembling. This angered him unreasonably.
They had gone there so often and found it untenanted that they had come to regard it as their private property, and, in consequence, they were most unreasonably annoyed, when climbing down the steps, to hear sounds of laughter rising up from below. "Who's in our cove?" demanded Merle sharply, somewhat as Father Bruin asked the immortal question, "Who's sleeping on my bed?"
"On the contrary," said Copeland, putting down his hat and coat, "I 'm quite in the dark as to how I can be of service to you." Both his tone and his words angered Blake, angered him unreasonably. But he kept warning himself to wait, to hold himself in until the proper moment arrived. "I expect no service from you," was Blake's curtly guttural response.
She defended the very man against whom all the evening she had been unreasonably bitter. "You have no right to abuse him. He is your people's guest and a very distinguished man, and you are only a foolish boy." He paled below his sunburn. Now he believed the truth of the horrid suspicion which had been fastening on his mind. "But but," he stammered, "the chap isn't a gentleman, you know."
It helped her to revive her hatred of Brook and to colour it with the inheritance of some harm done to her own mother. That certainly was an advantage. But she should be very sorry not to see Brook any more, never to hear him talk to her again, never to look into his eyes which, all the same, she so unreasonably dreaded. It was beyond her powers of analysis to reconcile her like and dislike.
She detested the policeman and objected earnestly to the arrangement. She pointed out, not unreasonably, that she might have been allowed to fall asleep over one of St. George Rathbone's novels on the third floor, but she was overruled. Raspberries and cops were not created for nothing.
Nobody would have guessed, not in the secret, that he had any particular attention in that room, or indeed anywhere! He did not approach Wych Hazel to oblige her to notice him; he would not give her the additional annoyance or himself the useless pain. Yet, though severely tried that night, he was not unreasonably discouraged.
As my age did not render the choice very pressing, I remained with my uncle, passing my time with very little improvement, and paying pretty dear, though not unreasonably, for my board. My uncle, like my father, was a man of pleasure, but had not learned, like him, to abridge his amusements for the sake of instructing his family, consequently our education was neglected.
There were only two trains a day over the single-track spur road that connected Boltonwood with the outer world beyond the hills; one which left at a most unreasonably inconvenient hour in the early morning and one which left just as inconveniently late at night.
She hoped, and the sequel showed not unreasonably, that even during open hostilities she could in the same manner thwart the United States in its efforts to keep its own produce from her markets.
