"Oh, I'm not pretending to be mild to you. But I've told you, and moreover you must have seen for yourself, how much so I've been to them." Mrs. Assingham, more brightly again, bridled. "Is that what you call it when you make them, for terror as you say, do as you like?" "Ah, there wouldn't be any terror for them if they had nothing to hide." Mrs. Assingham faced her quite steady now.

"Some bird!" sneered Koppy. "Maybe you flew from the Indians." "Look here, old chap," Werner bridled, "you don't think I ran about looking for that Indian and threw the damn things at him?" "You run-a spry away from him," jeered Morani. Werner made a furious movement, but noticed the Italian's knife-hand in time. "I wish to blazes I'd run spryer before he hit me.

Sylvia sniffed delicately as she limped over the threshold, for the pudding had a strangely powerful smell, not exactly savoury perhaps, but distinctly fresh and wholesome. Bridgie bridled in proud consciousness of success the while she tucked up her guest on the drawing-room sofa. "I've been making a pudding for you, dear. Mind you enjoy it!

Presently I espied a horse, black as night at its darkest, girt and bridled and saddled with red gold, standing before two mangers of white crystal, one full of winnowed sesame and the other of rose-water flavoured with musk.

In fact, the night after they had joined Pontgrave a furious quarrel broke out in the camp, with abundant shouting, gesticulating and swearing; and, says the father, "I do not doubt that an accursed band of furious and sanguinary spirits were hovering about us all night, expecting every moment to see a horrible massacre of the few Christians in those parts; but the goodness of God bridled their malice.
