"Don't talk to us about nature and justice and sense," replied the Pelican, contemptuously. "This is a Court of law, we have nothing to do with any of them!" The Court all cheered at this reply, and the Magpie subsided in the sulks. "Call the Kangaroo!" cried the white Ibis. "It's no good," jeered the Kookooburra. "Kangaroo and Dot are great friends. She won't come if you called "
"Be quite easy, my child, he will come," said Lisbeth, in the tone of a nurse to an impatient child. "He shall." "But when?" "This week perhaps." "Give me a kiss." As may be seen, these two women were but one. Everything Valerie did, even her most reckless actions, her pleasures, her little sulks, were decided on after serious deliberation between them.
Mystery may be in an astrologer's horoscope, in a diagram. Mystery needs no puckered virago, nor bully in the sulks. There is mystery in the morning calms, mystery in a girl's melting mood, mystery in the irresolution of a growing boy full of dreams. But behold! it is there, not here. If you see it not, the fault is your own.
He, with inward resentment, would decline to be funny at command, and she would pass on to the reproachful stage, and so, by easy passage, to the stages of tears and sulks and semi-insensibility; when he would have to dab her forehead with eau-de-Cologne, and rub her hands, or to lift her head higher with his arm beneath the pillow.
"Who is this fellow you call the Commander-in-Chief, anyway?" Rudolf interrupted crossly. The Queen looked him straight in the eye.

That is more than some little boys do."
"I wish he had chosen any other time for his sulks," said the holder of the bill; "my partner and I have discounted several acceptances for him.
By and by came tapping at the door, and she sprang up and crossing to the dressing table straightened her hair and composed her face. "Ajax demands to see you," cried a gay voice. The Girl stepped outside. "Don't be frightened if he screams at you," warned the Harvester as she passed him. "He detests a stranger, and he always cries and sulks."
She wheedled Joan Myers into escorting Elizabeth Walbert to the dance and remained in her room in a magnificent fit of sulks. She was too greatly inflamed against Marjorie to endure going where she would be in close touch with her for an evening. She therefore amused herself that evening in planning the cherished move she intended to make against Marjorie.
"She does take awful fits of the sulks sometimes," Prudence allowed, "but I don't think she would be sulky with me just now; it wasn't me that stole the ladder oh bother that Hugh! We had better go and look for it as fast as we can. I wonder where he has hidden it?" "It can't be far away, because he was only gone for a few minutes at tea-time," Mollie remarked sensibly.
She must warn Dale, first of all. And to do that she must resort to the distasteful expedient of hanging about in the groceries-and-notions store until Dale passed by after work or stopped for mail as he might possibly do. She found no difficulty in getting away alone, for Beryl, in the sulks, had buried herself in the deep window-seat of the library.
