"I am sure you will not be meddlesome or impertinent, Francisco," Signor Polani said reassuringly, for he saw that the lad was nervous and anxious. "Tell me what you have to say, and I can promise you beforehand that, whether I agree with you or not in what you may have to say, I shall be in no way vexed, for I shall know you have said it with the best intentions."
It was the idea of herself being deputy to the lovely, meddlesome, and arrogant Countess of Chell that had appealed to Clara. The deputy of a Countess at length spoke. 'Will Harry be late at the works again to-night? she asked in her colder, small-talk manner, which committed her to nothing, as Josiah well knew. Her way of saying that word 'Harry' was inimitably significant. She gave it an air.
"Oh!" cried she, tossing her head and frowning, "of course you and he are on the same side. My father is a Patriot now, and cries, 'Down with the king! I suppose your meddlesome general has sent you with a message." I did not undeceive her; and while the servant carried my name to his master, we entered one of the rooms and continued our conversation.
"You mean Mr. Lindsay!" she exclaimed, twisting her wedding-ring and its coral guard. "I hope I beg that you will not think me meddlesome or impertinent. I have the matter very much at heart. It seems to lie in my path. I must see it. Surely you perceive some way of averting the disaster in it!" "I'm sure I don't know what you refer to." Mrs. Sand's tone was prudish and offended.

Now all this time Garrofat and Doola were busy with a little scheme of their own that promised to remove one, and perhaps both, of these meddlesome strangers from the kingdom. When the seventh day again came round, Bright-Wits repaired to the Audience Chamber and was considerably puzzled to find several hundred soldiers drawn up in the court.
"I have, and there's the letter on which I built so many hopes," replied Bob, handing out the document which he had crumpled into a little round ball. "We were too late. The order has been given to that meddlesome fellow, Don." Lester looked first at his companion, then at Bert, who was now almost out of sight, and began to gather up his reins.
"He never succeeded in getting hold of that meddlesome Englishman whom they call the Scarlet Pimpernel," was Gourdon's final dry comment. Thus was the matter decided on.
He was one of these meddlesome persons who would sell his birthright to gratify his curiosity. Presently he returned, cupped his hands over his mouth, and trumpeted the news. "Dry Pond, forty-two ballots cast, forty-two for suffrage, nary one anti!" This joke was greeted with a groan. "Calico Valley, seventy-four ballots cast, sixty-eight for suffrage, six anti-suffrage!
