"There," cried Kate, petulantly, "as sure as ever one is innocently happy in this wicked world, some species of amateur police obliges one to 'move on." And she glanced over her shoulder at a gentleman approaching. He walked straight up to the group with a business-like, uncompromising manner, very different to the dolce far niente attitudes; yet four of the number rose at once to join him.
Mortimer's maid, who had almost finished drying and dressing her mistress' hair, was called to the door by a persistent knocking, which at first she had been bidden to disregard. It was Mortimer's man, desiring to know whether Mrs. Mortimer could receive Mr. Mortimer at once on matters of importance. "No," said Leila petulantly.
After a few spoonfuls of the soup, Wilmot suggested that he should prefer something solid. The woman shook her head. "If I'm to be kept alive," he said petulantly, "why not comfortably?" "Nothing solid. That's the doctor's orders." "Blizzard's?" "No. The doctor." "What doctor?" "Why, Dr. Ferris." "Where is he? I want to speak to him." "He isn't here. He's coming when everything's ready."
Tignonville shrugged his shoulders. "I tell you, you rave, M. la Tribe," he said petulantly. "At any moment we may be discovered. Even now I hear footsteps." "They tracked me well-nigh to this place," the minister answered placidly. "The deuce they did!" Tignonville muttered, with irritation. He dared not raise his voice.
"I hae been counted as gude a man as my neighbours ere now," said Andrew, petulantly; "but I dinna pretend to deal wi' evil spirits." And so he made his exit, as Wardlaw the land-steward made his appearance. He was a man of sense and honesty, without whose careful management my uncle would have found it difficult to have maintained himself a housekeeper so long as he did.
He had learned well that effrontery is often the best weapon of an adventurer. He turned from me disdainfully, petulantly, and addressed the Vicomtesse once more. "I wish to be alone with Antoinette," he said. "No doubt," said the Vicomtesse. "I demand it," said Auguste. "The demand is not granted," said the Vicomtesse; "that is why we have come.
He tries to imitate its notes on a reed cut with his sword, that emits strange noises; and at last, annoyed by his lack of success, he petulantly blows a blast on his horn. This arouses Fafner, who grumbles and discloses his hiding-place; and presently an extraordinary reptile, one the like of which never was on sea or land, comes forth to destroy the intruder.
He was dissatisfied, it is true, at the time of Shee's death, that he had not been made President; but this, as he well knew, was a matter that rested entirely with the Academy. 'What has the Academy done for me? he would ask petulantly; 'they knighted Calcott, why don't they knight me? This involved no charge against his critics.
Jones's remarkable means of getting at a policeman, but Jasmine could not be comforted; she shook her head almost petulantly. "It's all most puzzling for me," she said, "about Mrs. Jones and her policemen; it sounds exactly like the House that Jack Built, and I shall have a swimming head myself if I listen to you.
The birds were singing gaily in the hedgerows, and such was my uplifted state that I, too, burst into song, until Arthur petulantly desired me to refrain, on the plea that, though he yielded to no man in his enjoyment of farmyard imitations in their proper place, I put him off his stroke.
