Instead of soothing the quick-tempered boy, Aunt Mary chafed him by her words and manner during the whole meal, and it was only the image of his mother's tearful face, and the remembrance that she was sick, that restrained an outbreak of his passionate temper. When Clarence left the table, he returned to his mother's room, and laid his head upon the pillow where her's was resting.
They all looked aghast at one another. Was Willy lying Willy! "Didn't give it to you Sonny!" said Grandpa, feebly, and more slowly than ever. "No, sir." Grandma Stockton had been called quick-tempered when she was a girl, and she gave proof of it sometimes, even now in her gentle old age. She spoke very sternly and quickly: "Willy, we have had all of this nonsense that we want.
"F'r heaven's sakes, Dike, wake up! We're livin' here. This is our place. We ain't rubes no more." Dike turned to his father. A little stunned look crept into his face. A stricken, pitiful look. There was something about it that suddenly made old Ben think of Pearlie when she had been slapped by her quick-tempered mother. "But I been countin' on the farm," he said miserably.
Now then" Esteban was quick-tempered, and for years he had struggled against an instinctive distrust and dislike of the plantation manager "remember that I have become the head of this house, and your employer. You will do better to think of your own affairs than of mine. Do you understand me?
You have acted in a most Christian-like and equitable manner, in making amends for the inconceivable negligence of the deceased Claude de Buxieres.

Confound these fellows that are always unloading a cargo of woe on their owners! It strikes me that they're trying to square themselves for incompetence." "I agree with you, Skinner.

"Oh!" said Mr. Skinner.
Albert was a quick-tempered youth, and he had swallowed fully a pint of Severn water. Dunstable and Linton sat for some time in the oak parlour of the "Blue Boar". It was late when they went out. As they reached the water's edge Linton uttered a cry of consternation. "What's up?" asked Dunstable. "I wish you wouldn't do that so suddenly. It gives me a start. Do you feel bad?"
Why?" asked the doctor, with scientific curiosity. "Do you find traits that the father doesn't account for?" "Yes. She is very vain and greedy and quick-tempered." "Are those traits uncommon in children?" "In such a degree I should think they were. But she's very affectionate, too, and you can do anything with her through her love of praise. She puzzles me a good deal.
The Canadians are obliged to carry these gentry on their shoulders, through the cold water, over rocks that cut their feet; and if they make a false step they are abused. Can anything be harder? Finally, Monsieur de Montcalm is so quick-tempered that he goes to the length of striking the Canadians. How can he restrain his officers when he cannot restrain himself?
The Westfalls are all very erratic and quick-tempered. Didn't you know she was at the farm?" The young man looked exceedingly uncomfortable. "Great guns, no!" he exclaimed. "I presumed she was safe in New York. . . . And this is her lake and her water and her waves, when there are any, and no matter how I engineer it, I've got to poach some of her property.
