"Very likely," returned Wiley, not venturing to look up, "my business takes me everywhere." "I thought I recognized you," went on the Widow ingratiatingly; "you're a mining man, aren't you, Mister er " "Wiley," he answered, and at this bold piece of effrontery Virginia caught her breath. "Ah, yes, I remember you now," said the Widow. "You knew my husband, of course Colonel Huff?
In the first place, he and Little John had come near having a quarrel that self-same morning because both had seen a curious looking yeoman, and each wanted to challenge him singly. But Robin would not give way to his lieutenant, and that is why John, in a huff, had gone with Will to Barnesdale. Meanwhile Robin approached the curious looking stranger.
Nick turned from the glare of the open door, and looked out into the moonlight. It seemed quite dark at first. The master-player's face was bitter white, and his fingers were tapping a queer staccato upon the table-top. "A plague on the bedlam dice!" said he. "I think they are bewitched." "Huff, ruff, and snuff!" the other replied.
That's good enough for little rubbishy common things specially with gals, cuz THEY go back on you anyway, and blab if they get in a huff but there orter be writing 'bout a big thing like this. And blood." Tom's whole being applauded this idea. It was deep, and dark, and awful; the hour, the circumstances, the surroundings, were in keeping with it.
Huff, the political economist, talking with Mr. Macduff, the Member for Glenlivat.

Percy slammed down the cover and tossed away the can in a huff. Lane was passing boxes and bundles ashore from the dory to Stevens and Filippo. "Catch hold here, Whittington, and help tote some of this stuff up to the cabin," exhorted Budge. Percy complied ungraciously; but he was careful not to tackle anything very heavy.
There had been a time when this boy's father had sat in the game with Blount and now he was engaged in raising cattle on a ranch far back in the hills. And Colonel Huff, that prince of royal plungers, had surrendered at last to the bank.
Back to Baden, with means to procure the pleasant shocks of the galvanic battery there, was her thought; for she had a fear of the earl's having again departed in a huff at Henrietta's behaviour. The admiral consented that his daughter should go, as soon as he heard that Miss Kirby was to stay.
"I left in a huff, I suppose, and went back to the ship. I felt badly used. The Old Man came along to my room and spent a couple of hours telling me how that new mess-man had won ten thousand francs. There were all sorts of frills to the story as he knew it. One of the clerks at the agent's had told him that the man was an English milord. That was a bit of my brother's cleverness.
