He spoke in a brusque tone as why should he not, since he was addressing an audience he lumped together as just so many crooks? "Through this little stunt I pulled to-night, I've got on to your curves, Barney Palmer. And yours, too, Jimmie Carlisle. And I'm going to run the pair of you in." This was too much for Barney Palmer.
Orde, brusque in his desire to hurry through an affair of minor importance, rubbed the man the wrong way. "I reckon I've some rights on this river," Captain Simpson concluded the argument, "and I ain't agoin' to be bulldozed out of them." The excursionists, typical "trippers" from Redding, Holland, Monrovia and Muskegon, cheered this sentiment and jeered at Orde. Orde nodded briefly.
"Don't mind my bearishness," she made half apology. "You know what pleasant moods I fall into while working. And this rain is depressing." "But Miss Biglow is right." Creighton smiled his rare, shy smile. Brusque and impatient as he was when on business bent, he was awkwardly uncomfortable in ordinary company. The man, Val sometimes thought privately, lived, ate, slept books.
The schoolmaster was a Liberal and a frank, brusque, intelligent man, but he formed his judgment of Don Calixto's politics on the prejudices of a Republican paper in Madrid, which was the only one he read. According to him, Senor Moncada, whom nobody knew, was nothing more than a figure-head for the Jesuits.
Bannon knew from long experience how to pile the different sizes so that each would be ready at the hands of the carpenters when the morning whistle should blow.

Chilcote, still excited by his unusual vehemence, followed him, taking up a position by the mantelpiece. "Well?" he said, looking down. Very slowly Loder rose from his task. "Well?" he reiterated. "Have you nothing to say?" "Nothing, except that your story is unique, and that I suppose I am flattered by your confidence." His voice was intentionally brusque.
Wallis's I had just been telling them what I could about the auction. She told me that she had died the spring before, and said how much they missed her; and Hannah broke in upon her regrets in her brusque, downright way: "I should have liked to kep' her if she'd lived to be a hundred, but I don't wish her back. She'd had considerable many strokes, and she couldn't help herself much if any.
He spoke in the brusque tone of one accustomed to run through many applicants in the course of an hour. "I understand that you make use of my sister Mary's name." And, as Mahony did not instantly respond, he snapped out: "My time is short, sir!" A tinge of colour mounted to Mahony's cheeks. He answered with equal stiffness: "That is so. I come from Mr.
