"I must wear it an hour or two," said she. "Besides, it will save my own, knocking about in these country lanes." Thus attired she went into the drawing-room to surprise Lucy. Now Lucy was determined not to move; so, not to be enticed, she did not even look up from her work; on this the other took a mild huff and whisked out.
I began to think they had taken huff and did not mean to come at all, as I had taken no notice of Astell's letter. However, they came. They do not much like my Nagpore letter, which it seems is contrary to the line of policy laid down by the Court and approved of by Wynne. I told them I took the responsibility upon myself. They were ministerial only.
Gee, but that made the Emperor hot, and he said dad needn't instill any of his American ideas into the German nobility, as he could run things all right without any help, and dad got ready to go, cause the atmosphere was getting sort of chilly, but the Emperor soon got over his huff, and told dad not to hurry, and then he turned to me and said, "Now, little American Bad Boy, what kind of a trick are you going to play on me, 'cause from what I have read of you I know you will never go out of this house without giving me a benefit, and all my boys expect it, and will enjoy it, the same as I will; now, let 'er go."
But Josiah gin another deeper thrust to his portmoney and must have strained his pocket and sez in terser, hasher axents: "We hain't Irish!" And I sez kinder short, "Id'no as we're Alps."

Presently came along a wolf, and knocked at the door, and said: "Little pig, little pig, let me come in." But the pig answered: "No, no, by the hair of my chiny-chin-chin." So the wolf said: "Then I'll huff, and I'll puff, and I'll blow your house in." So he huffed, and he puffed, and he blew his house in, and ate up the little pig.
He led her to a box and, taking one of the kittens, sat down with his back to the door. Then he rose up hastily at a sudden rustle from behind and glanced inquiringly at Virginia. "It's just mother," she said and at the mention of her name Mrs. Huff came boldly out. "Why, good morning, Wiley," she said, smiling over-sweetly. "Seems to me you're awful early."
An' they took the gel away with 'em a purty little slip of about fifteen then, with great big eyes and a lot of bright 'air; don't none of ye remember 'er?" Mr. Buggins shook his head.

He had noticed that Hamilton, the governor of the great neighboring province of Pennsylvania, was not present at the council, but he did not know the cause of it until Stuart, the young Virginian, told him. "Pennsylvania is in a huff," he said, "because General Braddock's army has been landed at Alexandria instead of Philadelphia.
My father, as appears from many of his papers, was very subject to this passion, before he married but from a little subacid kind of drollish impatience in his nature, whenever it befell him, he would never submit to it like a christian; but would pish, and huff, and bounce, and kick, and play the Devil, and write the bitterest Philippicks against the eye that ever man wrote there is one in verse upon somebody's eye or other, that for two or three nights together, had put him by his rest; which in his first transport of resentment against it, he begins thus: 'A Devil 'tis and mischief such doth work As never yet did Pagan, Jew, or Turk.
