No money passes, as a matter of course, and the tenants mutter among themselves, "nor ever will." One neck-or-nothing friend of the people assures me that Griffith and rent and the rest of it is all "botheration," and that Pallas folk are going to "have their own" again, as was once said of a Stuart king, who did not get it nevertheless.
"You did it because you're a dear, good, kind-hearted man." "Think so, wifey? I'm inclined to put it down to sheer dislike of botheration Irish inertia ... the curse of our race." "Yes, yes, I knoo you'd be wantin' to get rid o' me, now you're goin' up in the world," was Long Jim's answer when Polly broached her scheme for his benefit. "Well, no, I won't say anythin' against you, Mrs.
"Faith, my legs an't better than yours," answered the Irishman, patting his knee with a kind of angry gesture. And for the first time we perceived that the legs of both of them were shockingly swollen. "If we could only meet with the Welsh Indians or a gold mine," resumed the short man. "Botheration," exclaimed his irascible companion. "Bother them all the Welsh Indians and the Welsh English."
Edward's darker nature struggled for ascendancy within him. It was this man's violence at Fairly which had sickened him, and irritated him against Dahlia, and instigated him, as he remembered well, more than Mrs. Lovell's witcheries, to the abhorrent scheme to be quit of her, and rid of all botheration, at any cost. "You're in some conspiracy to do her mischief, all of you," he cried.
The thought that the case held his money was not however, what then concerned him. But that which made him jump was the recollection that it contained the precious document, the loss of which was irreparable, as it carried with it that of all his hopes. "Botheration!" said he. And at the moment, cost what it might to recapture his case, Torres threw himself in pursuit of the guariba.
The females usually catch it most. I cannot tell the reason, except it be, they are more difficult to reduce to a regimen, or system of travelling, and are always fond of playing some innocent pranks. The lively things certainly make more noise and botheration than the males. We are to purchase dates here, they being cheap and of good quality.
Went to Chiefswood at one, and marked with regret forty trees indispensably necessary for paling much like drawing a tooth; they are wanted and will never be better, but I am avaricious of grown trees, having so few. Worked a fair task; dined, and read Clapperton's journey and Denham's into Bornou. Very entertaining, and less botheration about mineralogy, botany, and so forth, than usual.
The woman hesitated a moment, and then walked up in front of Esther. When they were in the bedroom she shook out her petticoats, and the sheet fell on the floor. "There, now," said Esther, "a nice botheration you'd 've got me into. I should've had to pay for it." "Oh, I could pay for it; it was only because I'm not very well off at present."
I heard him say, 'Now, master dear, the bugle will sound in a minute or two; it's wake you must, or there will be a divil of botheration over it. I looked in, and there you were. Hoolan was standing by the side of you shaking his head gravely, as if it was a hopeless job that he had in hand, and if I had not emptied a water-bottle over you, you would never have been on parade in time."
