It was by no means the first time in his long career that the natives had found cause to complain of a certain rancour in his temperament of certain spiteful viperish acts to which the priests, and they alone, were able to give a benevolent interpretation. Now their wrath blazed out against the celestial Patron. "He's not fit for his job," said some; "let's get a new saint!
A fresh taunt trembled on his viperish tongue, when Gregory plucked at the skirts of his coat, and drew him aside. They entered the chamber where they had held their last interview before Joseph had set out for news of Kenneth. With an air of mystery Gregory closed the door, then turned to face his brother. He stayed him in the act of unbuckling his sword-belt.
"Well, Mabel," Sam said plaintively, following, "it ain't MY fault. I didn't do anything. It's Penrod." "I don't care," she began pettishly, when the viperish voice was again lifted: "Oh, oh, oh! Who's your beau? Guess I know: Mabel and Sammy, oh, oh, oh! I caught you!" Then Mabel did one of those things that eternally perplex the slower sex.
Altogether, Sam was sufficiently nervous without any help from Penrod, and it was with pure horror that he heard his own name and Mabel's shrieked upon the ambient air with viperish insinuation. "Sam-my and May-bul! OH, oh!" Sam started violently. Mabel ceased to swing her foot, and both, encarnadined, looked up and down and everywhere for the invisible but well-known owner of that voice.
His young face changed. Persons about the courts were sometimes frightened as they looked at his viperish, flat head, his slit mouth, his eyes gleaming through glasses, and heard his sharp, persistent voice which rasped their nerves. His muddy skin, with its sickly tones of green and yellow, expressed the jaundice of his balked ambition, his perpetual disappointments and his hidden wretchedness.
The speech held a viperish quality which for a moment caught the brown man's attention; then he said: "One thing is sure, I've lost my prestige, whatever it was worth." The girl nodded slowly. "With the others you have, I suppose." Peter glanced at Cissie. The temptation was strong to give the conversation a personal turn, but he continued on the general topic: "Well, perhaps it's just as well.
He could scarcely retain his rage; his body shook all over; his foot slipped twice when he sought to mount into his car. Leaning forward from his seat, he shook a finger in Bryant's face, exclaiming, "You'll get what's coming to you! Like your damned dog!" His face was entirely viperish. His finger came within an inch of the engineer's nose. His words carried a furious hiss.
Arrived at the library door, Lady Janet looked over her shoulder at the little immovable black figure in the chair. "Will you go?" she asked, for the last time. Grace started up angrily from her seat, and fixed her viperish eyes on Mercy. "I won't be turned out of your ladyship's house in the presence of that impostor," she said. "I may yield to force, but I will yield to nothing else.
Sir Ralph, don't you think those are nice abbreviations? I made them up myself. 'Prig', be priggish. Vipe', be viperish. Mamma's not at all nice when she's either." "I think you're all wonderfully good-natured," remarked Mr. Barrymore hastily. "You are the right sort of people for a motoring trip, and no other sort ought to undertake one.
I have seen many people, and many strange faces, but never such a person nor such a face as of an old woman who sat at that early hour of the morning at a table near us. The figure was a warped and withered caricature, the face that of a hag, a creature vixenish and viperish, and mean and crafty.
