The door was hardly shut again when the speaker who had been interrupted jumped to his feet and exclaimed: "As I was saying, for my part, if Brother Strong wishes to indulge in this eccentric action he will not have the sanction of my vote in the matter! It certainly is an entirely unheard-of and uncalled-for proposition." "Mr.
I've been to call on my washerwoman, and I'm so glad I've met you. Such an English morning! Shall I walk with you?" If I could have changed places with Fidget, I could scarce have expressed my disapproval of the new-comer more vehemently than he. Miss Meyrick seemed quite annoyed at the little dog's uncalled-for snapping and barking, and shook her umbrella at him in vain.
"I gave Primrose Mainwaring some uncalled-for advice when she came to see me the other morning," he said. "She is perfectly at liberty to choose her own life, and I, for one, am not going to add to her troubles by needlessly opposing her.

Smiling quietly, the girl recovered the glove boxes. "I'm afraid we haven't what you want in stock," she said in a voice not loud but clear enough to carry to the ears of her inquisitive co-labourers.

"May I ask why I should do anything so uncalled-for?" "Because it isn't uncalled-for, sir. I mean, you won't think so after I've explained." Bohun inclined his head, searching Nat's face with his keen, bright eyes.
