"Better take a day off and go with me, Pete," he suggested, getting an unwieldy-looking pipe from the pocket of his canvas fishing-coat, and opening his eyes at a trout-fly snagged in the mouthpiece. "Now, how did that fly come there?" he asked aggrievedly, while he released it daintily for all his fingers looked so fat and awkward.
"And after all that fuss," she said to herself aggrievedly. The little dressmaker bought an envelope of nasturtium seeds at the florist's, and returned to her tiny room in the flat. But as she slowly mounted the first flight of steps she suddenly came face to face with Old Grannis, who was coming down. It was between eight and nine, and he was on his way to his little dog hospital, no doubt.
"But you are to be tied hand and foot," cried the Judge. "And on top of that," he burst forth indignantly, pointing aggrievedly at Vance, "he himself proposed this flour-and-shot test. It was silly, senseless bravado!" "Not necessarily," repeated the girl. "He knew that I invented it." Rainey laughed. Gaylor gave an exclamation of enlightenment.
Then she cried aggrievedly: "There, now! you've made me be impolite; and I didn't mean to be, truly." "Of course not," assented the man; "and it wasn't impolite, because I asked you for the information, you know. I may conclude then," he went on with an odd twinkle in his eyes, "that I am merely classed with tripe and rainy days." "With wha-at?" "Tripe and rainy days.
Della Wetherby's eyes danced, but her lips remained unsmiling. "Pollyanna isn't a medicine, my dear," she said demurely, " though I have heard some people call her a tonic. Pollyanna is a little girl." "A child? Well, how should I know," retorted the other, still aggrievedly.
She sat hunched up in her wraps, murmurously grumbling, and when Fong brought out lunch on a tray, ordered a glass of wine for her niece. "I suppose she won't drink it," she said aggrievedly to Fong; "but whether she does or not I want the satisfaction of having you bring it." Lorry did drink it and ate a little of the lunch. When it was over she rose again and made ready to go.
"Oh, yes, you're here," admitted Bertram, aggrievedly, "and so are dozens of napkins, miles of table-cloths, and yards upon yards of lace and flummydiddles you call 'doilies. They all belong to Marie, and they fill your arms and your thoughts full, until there isn't an inch of room for me. Billy, when is this thing going to end?" Billy laughed softly. Her eyes danced.
The prospect of her society, if only for a block or so, was a welcome relief to him. He felt rather aggrievedly that he had been the prey of bores during the entire day, skilfully escaping one, only to be firmly button-holed by another. Therefore he quickened his steps to overtake Mrs. Habersham, whom he had always found especially sympathetic and sincere.
It was then that Pollyanna, for the first time in weeks, suddenly remembered something Nancy had once told her. She raised her chin aggrievedly. "Maybe you think a nice live little boy wouldn't be better than that old dead skeleton you keep somewhere; but I think it would!" "Yes. Nancy said you had one in your closet, somewhere." "Why, what " Suddenly the man threw back his head and laughed.
We can't change now, of course, with the guests all invited. That is, I suppose you do have guests!" Mrs. Hartwell's voice was aggrievedly despairing. "Oh, yes," smiled Billy, demurely. "We have guests invited and I'm afraid we can't change the time." "No, of course not; but it's too bad. I conclude there are announcements only, as I got no cards. "Announcements only," bowed Billy.
