"Nit," was Dam's firm but gentle reply, and a little pulse began to beat beneath his cheek bone. "Oh! Ho!" smiled Master Harberth, "then I'll begin here, and when you're broke and blubbing you'll come with me and get just double for a start."
"You have him now, Bourne; he's too sick to have an ounce of fight left in him. Time!" The next round wasn't a round really; it was a procession, with Bourne, as fresh as paint from his success, following up the other blubbing with rage, pain, and sickness. Before Acton called, the fellow dropped to the ground and howled dismally. "Get your coat, Jack, and then come here. He's done.
"Well, to work, to work!" chanted McTurk, waving a stump. "Come on, my giddy Narcissus. Don't fall in love with your own reflection!" "Oh, let him off," said Campbell from his corner; "he's blubbing, too." Sefton cried like a twelve-year-old with pain, shame, wounded vanity, and utter helplessness. "You'll make it pax, Sefton, won't you? You can't stand up to those young devils "
"D'you think I'm blubbing for that, idiot?" said the boy in a jerky voice, and, bending almost double, darted down the companion-way. She stared at him, and turned to the ship's rail again, drowning in surprise. She was surprised at Tilbury now that she had time to look about her. It was so utterly unromantic ashore docks, wharves, miserable buildings and brown fields, very distant.
One of our men, a young fellow from Dera Ismail, jumped on the wall to slang 'em back, and jumped down, blubbing like a child. He'd been hit smack in the middle of the hand. 'Never saw a man yet who could stand a hit in the hand without weepin' bitterly. It tickles up all the nerves. So Tertius took his rifle and smote the others on the head to keep them quiet at the loopholes.
"I'll get up very early to-morrow morning," said Mary, as she prepared to leave them, "and perhaps mother'll let me drive to Whitcombe with you to see you off!" "No," Ninian objected, "we don't want you blubbing all over the platform!..." "I shan't blub, Ninian. I never blub!..." "Yes, you do. You always blub. You blubbed the last time and made me feel an awful ass!" he persisted.
"I was within an inch of blubbing." "Well, I didn't exactly smile," Stalky confessed. "Let's go down to the lavatory and have a look at the damage. One of us can hold the glass and t'others can squint." They proceeded on these lines for some ten minutes. The wales were very red and very level.
There's one trifle as I might ha' told ye if ye hadn't such a way of shutting folks up sometimes, missis. I'll tell ye now. Louis Fores went down on his knees to me in my office. On his knees, and all blubbing. What about that?" Mrs. Maldon replied "You must have been glad ever since that you did give the poor boy another chance."
"We can't do anything," said Edred again; "don't snivel like that, for goodness' sake, Elfrida. This is a man's job. Dry up. I can't think, with you blubbing like that." "I'm not," said Elfrida untruly, and sniffed with some intensity. "If you could make up some poetry now," Edred went on, "would that be any good?" "Not without the dresses," she sniffed.
Trimalchio on the other hand, all confounded and vex'd at her taunts, threw a goblet at her head: She fell a roaring as if she had lost an eye, and clapt both her hands before it. Scintilla also stood amazed, and covered Fortunata all trembling as she was, in her bosom; the boy also put a cold pitcher to her cheek, on which she leaned and made a lamentable wailing and blubbing.
