"Yes, I should refuse to accept," she echoed, morosely. "Virtue is its own reward; and there may be others," Schuyler said as he deducted a sum equal to 5 per cent. from Mary's winnings and pushed it across the table. But even this was not the end of his interference. When Madeleine rose and Mary sprang up obediently, he proposed that they, the three men, should see the ladies home.
By the time he returned to his club he was practically a menace to society to that section of it, at any rate, which embraced his Uncle Donald, his minor uncles George and William, and his aunts Mary, Geraldine, and Louise. Nor had the mood passed when he began to dress for the dismal festivities of Bleke's Coffee House. He scowled as he struggled morosely with an obstinate tie.
He drove home to Hampstead in the blue Runaway, with its silver fittings winking in the sun, and garaged it near by. He came in rather morosely, and was thoughtful over lunch, saying little, till at the end of the meal he lifted his eyes to his wife's tranquil face and said suddenly: "I brought a car home. I want to take you for a run." "And me, Daddy!"
I had not come to pry into the secrets of Eternity nor to investigate the Sphinx's private life, and so had little to say and few questions to ask; but to whatever I did say she remained morosely indifferent.
His eyes were sullen and brooding. "You have set him free?" he asked. She nodded. "It was madness keeping him here," she said. "It is madness letting him go," he answered morosely. "He will do harm. 'Ay bor', he will! I might have known women are chicken-hearted. I ought to have put him out of the way, but I have no heart any more no heart; I have the soul of a rabbit."
At that moment there was a knock at the hall-door, the servant opened it, and Stafford entered with a gloomy countenance and a reluctant gait. "I've come," he said, rather morosely; "though I don't know why you should have insisted upon my doing so or what good it will do me to hear about her," he added, in a low voice, as they followed the servant up the stairs.
Anne which he wore over a cravat of the colour of a raven's wing, began to be familiar to all the pale and listless young men who hang morosely about the card-tables while dancing is going on. Pavel Petrovitch knew how to gain a footing in society; he spoke little, but from old habit, condescendingly though, of course, not when he was talking to persons of a higher rank than his own.
I was learning myself . . . and I learned to leave the thoroughbred alone. They beat you out. They get your goat. You never get theirs. And they're time- wasters, and patience-wasters, and they're expensive." "Take this terrier here." Collins nodded at Michael, who stood several feet back of him, morosely regarding the various activities of the arena.
Beauty Smith tightened the thong again, and White Fang crawled limply and dizzily to his feet. He did not rush a second time. One smash from the club was sufficient to convince him that the white god knew how to handle it, and he was too wise to fight the inevitable. So he followed morosely at Beauty Smith's heels, his tail between his legs, yet snarling softly under his breath.
Filled with hate and envy, appreciating the fact that Sandy's business enterprises were menaces to his future prosperity, the man silently and morosely plotted and planned some kind, any kind of revenge. Cynthia, he dared not approach personally; even his evil thoughts dared not rest upon her directly. He had nothing with which to lure her; not even a decent approach could be made.
