Down we comes here with more changes and botheration than ever was; and every time we changes carriages, which we don't seem to do much else the whole time, I spots my gentleman, limpin' awful, and lookin' about him suspicious-like, to see if he was watched. And, of course, he weren't watched oh, no; nothin' like it.
The others, having reached the door, turned round, and, finding that the youth did not follow them, one of them called to him with a tone of some authority; whereupon the young man rose, and, pronouncing half audibly the word ‘botheration,’ rose and followed them. I now observed that he was remarkably tall. All three left the house.
These gates he described to be calcination, solution, separation, conjunction, putrefaction, congelation, cibation, sublimation, fermentation, exaltation, multiplication, and projection! to which he might have added botheration, the most important process of all. He was very rich, and allowed it to be believed that he could make gold out of iron.
So J. J. puts in a word, doing the toff about one story was good till you heard another and blinking facts and the Nelson policy, putting your blind eye to the telescope and drawing up a bill of attainder to impeach a nation, and Bloom trying to back him up moderation and botheration and their colonies and their civilisation. Their syphilisation, you mean, says the citizen. To hell with them!
It 's curious, for this morning Rose has come to me and given me the first chapter of a botheration, which she declares is to end in the common rash experiment. What is your "young fellow's" name? Who is he? What is he? 'Won't take my guarantee, my lady? 'Rose if she marries must have a name, you know? Old Tom hit his knee.
"I did set off," replied the servant, "but as ill-luck would have it, I ran into the mistress ... botheration take her." "Ran into her?" repeated the peasant woman in a sing-song voice and she leaned her cheek on her hand. "And where did you run into her, my good girl?" "Beyond the priest's hemp-patch.
"Because it's very shallow in the other, señora," answered the captain, deliberately, slowly winking one eye, a little habit which he had cultivated as if to say to his words on their way out, "Slowly, slowly!" "Half speed! Botheration, half speed!" protested Doña Victorina disdainfully. "Why not full?"
'You must wait for them, Japs, said Gillian. 'They are having their dresses changed; and, don't you remember, I always go to Miss Hacket's. 'Botheration! What for? 'You know very well. 'Oh yes. To help her to write touching verses about the sweet dead dove, with voice and plumage soft as love, eh?
"'Botheration! says I, 'is there no pace for the wicked? "Back I comes again, and takes off me belt and piles me firelock; and before I had got three draws at me pipe, and was just beginning to enjoy the creetur when, crack! and there goes the assimbly again. Sure and the major, honest man, has lost his head entirely; and it's a pity, for he is an illegant man, and a good officer, says I."
At last, almost in tears, John Dolittle stepped slowly into the litter and sat down. As he was hoisted on to the broad shoulders of the bearers I heard him still feebly muttering beneath his breath, "Botheration take it! I don't WANT to be a king!" "Farewell!" called Long Arrow from his bed, "and may good fortune ever stand within the shadow of your throne!" "He comes!
