"No, ma'am; I have said I shall never be taught by him again; and I am not one to break my word," concluded Lulu, loftily. "Very well, miss; we will see what my father has to say to that." She stepped to the door and summoned him. He came, marching in with his most pompous air, and glancing frowningly around, inquired what was wanted.
Shigalov began at last looking at me sternly and frowningly, with the most naive assurance that I should immediately get up and go away. At last Shatov got up from his chair and the others jumped up at once. They went out without saying good-bye. Shigalov only said in the doorway to Shatov, who was seeing him out: "Remember that you are bound to give an explanation."

They said nothing, but looked much. Frowningly, Selwyn bit his lip. Presently he spoke. "Can you tell me where I can get a horse and buggy for a few hours?"
But both glanced with cautious stealth at the receding backs, the doctor in front, his daughter walking daintily on the edge of grass by the roadside, holding her skirts away from the wet weeds. When she was out of sight Leff said with an embarrassed laugh: "Well, we got some one to go along with us now." David did not laugh. He pondered frowningly.
"It is going to be more serious than I thought," was her mental comment as she poured him out a cup of coffee. It was indeed; for after drinking the coffee in silence, he looked frowningly out of the window for a time; then said abruptly to the waiter, "Leave the room."

Ossip turned his eyes again to where the river was seething like a bowl of porridge, and, letting his eyes fall with a frown, continued: "In a moment of forgetfulness I did it.
"What cussed nonsense is this?" demanded the man harshly, clashing down his knife and fork and turning frowningly toward his son. "No, but father, listen to me before you refuse. Mr. Rule says I'm fit to enter college and that I can lead my class too. I've been studying for this three years. I've set my heart upon it," and in his earnestness, tears gathered in his eyes.
Carroll, brave and steady, if very tired, came home on the third day, and with her coming the atmosphere of the whole house changed. Anna had come back again; the sorrowing girls drew close about their mother, and Susan felt that she was not needed.

Did Anastasia remark that it was a close morning, her aunt looked frowningly abstracted and gave no reply; did Anastasia declare that she had not been able to get any 14 knitting-needles, they were quite out of them, her aunt said, "Oh!" in a tone of rebuke and resignation which implied that there were far more serious matters in the world than knitting-needles.
"No; I descended from my window by means of a ladder which I had brought with me for the purpose." "With a ladder? That's rather extraordinary, Mr Harley." "It is extraordinary. I have strange habits." Inspector Aylesbury cleared his throat again and looked frowningly across at my friend. "What part of the grounds were you in when the shot was fired?" he demanded.
