One morning early, I gave in my accounts with a very sulky air; she took them from me in moody silence, and we parted in a sort of well-bred dudgeon.
- Lesage, The Adventures of Gil Blas of Santillane, tr. Smollett, bk 4 ch. 7
Yes, of course. And this is the other meaning of dudgeon - a wooden dagger handle.
“I see thee still,
And on thy blade and dudgeon gouts of blood,
Which was not so before.”
(Macbeth)
