I shouldered the harp, and we left the house without encountering the amiable landlady. To reach the nearest pawnbroker's, it was necessary to pass through one of the principal streets. To my dismay a crowd of actors, reporters and others were assembled upon the steps of a hotel. "Thompson, give us a tune!" bawled out a miserable wretch of a light comedian, or "walking gentleman."
Her voice was hard and high and discontented, like that of one who has long bawled into a deaf man's ear and is weary of it. "Drabbit you! Wheer you bin? Allus trapsing out when you'm wanted; allus caddlin' round doin' nothin' when you ban't. I s'pose you think breakfus' can be kep' on the table till dinner, washing-day or no?" "I don't want no breakfus', then.
Robbed!" she squealed, and alarmed the whole household. She was furious, while David and I only smiled to ourselves and sweet was our smile to us. "Everyone, everyone must be well thrashed!" bawled my aunt. "The watch has been stolen from under my head, from under my pillow!" We were prepared for anything, we expected trouble.... But contrary to our expectations we did not get into trouble at all.
Mike Murphy approached the scuttle and bawled down it to the amazed and puzzled crew below. As a linguist Mike was no great shakes, particularly when called upon to juggle German; but he was a resolute fellow and not afraid to do his best at all times. Consequently his hail took the form of "Hey! Landsmann!"
The only person who found fault with the romance was a muleteer, nicknamed Barrabas. As soon as this man saw the singer run off, he bawled after him; "There you go, you Judas of a troubadour! May the fleas eat your eyes out! Who the devil taught you to sing to a scullery-maid about celestial realms, and spheres, and ocean-beds, and to call her stars and suns and all the rest of it?
"Kill me?" gasped Drusus, incredulously; "commit deliberate murder?" "Yes," moaned Cornelia; "he dares anything. He is all fury and violence. Escape! Do not throw yourself away in vain!" The lights flashed nearer; the slaves were shouting and blundering through the bushes. "Two philippi to the man who strikes Drusus down!" bawled Lentulus. It was no time for delay and affectionate leave-taking.
Connick removed his pipe when the door opened, and gazed under his hand, held edgewise to his forehead. "Why, hello, my bantam boy!" he bawled, in greeting. "What did you break out o' the wangan and run away for?" The fiddle stopped. The men crowded up from the bunks and deacons' seats. All were as curious as magpies. They gazed with interest on Parker's companion.
"Not I," answered Tom briefly, compressing his lips. Another heavy box on the ears followed close upon this answer. "Will you now?" again asked Blackall. "No," bawled out Bouldon. Several cuffs and blows now descended on his head and shoulders. Again Blackall asked him if he would fag. Bouldon did not deign to answer. "Do you hear me? Are you deaf?" thundered out the bully.
Next to being President of the United States the average small boy treasures the desire to possess a parent who can whip any other two-legged creature that wears trousers. And there were a lot of human things about Neewa. The louder his mother bawled the more distinctly he felt the shock of his world falling about him.
