"I SAID, Pollyanna, that I did not send it, and for you to be very sure that he did not think I DID! which is a very different matter from TELLING him outright that I did not send it." And she turned vexedly away. "Dear me!
Rosalie was herself nearly thirty when she first saw the miniatures. She was come back to the rectory from the pursuits that then occupied her to visit, rather impatiently and rather vexedly, her mother on what proved to be her death bed.
Either his tone, which was one chill indifference, or some thing in his look, irritated her suddenly for a rash of hot color crimsoned her face, and she bit her lips vexedly as she descended the office-stairs. "He's one of your high-and-mighty sort," she thought disdainfully, as she entered her cosy brougham and was driven away. "Quite too awfully moral!"
"Dam' foolishness," muttered the Yankee, vexedly grounding the butt. Cornelius translated. The wounded man below the hill, after crying out twice, "Take me up! take me up!" went on complaining in moans. While he had kept on the blackened earth of the slope, and afterwards crouching in the boat, he had been safe enough.
Much, much later, Cochrane and Babs were again in the control-room, and this time they were alone. "Look!" said Cochrane vexedly. "Do you realize that I haven't kissed you since we got back on the ship? What happened?" "You!" said Babs indignantly. "You've been thinking about something else every second of the time!" Cochrane did not think about anything else for several minutes.
Cherry laughed again, a little amused and exultant laugh. But immediately she stopped laughing, and said, vexedly: "I was a fool to ask you that! I don't know why I did. Just sheer egotism and I hate women who dwell on their own foolish old love affairs, too!" Peter, as ashamed as she of the moment's weakness, laughed, too. "You could hardly call it that!" he objected, mildly.
"Don't be a fool, George," said Errington, half vexedly, as the hot color mounted to his face in spite of himself. "It is all idle curiosity, nothing else. After what Svensen told us, I'm quite as anxious to see this gruff old bonde as his daughter." Lorimer held up a reproachful finger. "Now, Phil, don't stoop to duplicity not with me, at any rate. Why disguise your feelings?
"Find 'em!" said Jones vexedly. Cochrane didn't try. If a moon-rocket pilot could not spot familiar star-groups, a television producer wasn't likely to see them. And it was obvious, once one thought, that the brighter stars seen from Earth would be mostly the nearer ones. Cochrane was no mathematician, but he could see that there was no data for computation on hand.
His eyes were fixed on Mae, now. "What is it?" she asked. "You will like Rome, I am sure." "No, I never like what I think I shall not." "It might save some trouble, then, if I ask you now if you expect to like me," said he, in a lower tone. "Why certainly, I do like you very much," she replied, honestly. "What a stupid question," he thinks, vexedly.
"It is very dangerous for you to be out alone. It will not be long, now, until gun-fire." The object of this solicitude shook her head with a smile at its gratuitousness. The smile showed determination also. "Mo pas compren'," she said. "Tell the lady to send for it to-morrow." She smiled helplessly and somewhat vexedly, shrugged and again shook her head.
