Sulkily

"So haven't we got anything left to eat in the house?" mumbled Tom sulkily. "No. As you can see, there's nothing left. But here you go – here's the shopping list," replied Mary, pressing the list into his hand, his stomach growling like that of a starving wolf as he stood in front of the empty fridge. "Now then, you can go and sit yourself in the car and get yourself down to the shops, can't you?"

"There, now I suppose you're satisfied!" he said, sulkily, but his instructor was not, it seemed, satisfied.
