He has a dim recollection of having his thumb in the corner of the mouth of the first man, and feeling anxious about its safety, and for some seconds at least he held the head of the gentleman answering to the name of Bill to the ground by the hair. He was also kicked in a great number of different places, and apparently by a vast multitude of people.
"The son of McPhail struck and kicked the son of White Wolf, the son of a clerk struck the first-born of a war chief, and the Great Father's man would punish, not the striker, but the struck." "Nab that damned lying scoundrel, Davies. He put 'em up to this whole business. He's another of your mission whelps.
Then Loring shut the door and left. He had many an hour later in which to think over his final interview with the aide. A most unwelcome duty was that second call to Petty. He would rather be kicked than go to Loring and say he was released from arrest and free to go; perhaps he thought the kick forthcoming if he went.
So it came to pass that the younger Brethren waxed fat and kicked, and the elder Brethren murmured. One day the Novice-master, Brother Adam, a most worthy man, came in sore trouble to the Prior and would resign his office. "Surely never before did such an ill-conditioned brood find shelter in a monastery!" he cried.
Sheets of spray sometimes burst over the side and drenched them, but they cared nothing for that, being pretty well protected by oilskins, sou'-westers, and sea-boots. Straining and striving, sometimes gaining an inch or two, sometimes a yard or so, while the smack plunged and kicked, the contest seemed like a doubtful one between vis inertiae and the human will.
Presently it ceased, and with labouring breath we walked a step or two in flat ground. Ringan, who was in front, stumbled over a little heap of stones about a foot high. "Studd had a poor notion of a cairn," he said, as he kicked them down. There was nothing beneath but bare soil. But the hunter had spoken the truth.
When you jump the ropes on Wednesday, you'll carry every penny of fifty thousand into the ring. A pretty thing to turn up with a swollen knee and a story about a Frenchman! 'I never thought he'd ha' kicked, said the Bustler. 'I suppose you expected he'd fight Broughton's rules, and strict P.R.? Why, you silly, they don't know what fighting is in France.
Something is to blame, something baffles it and gives it pain, and its teeth and claws seek every near object. Of course it is a blind manifestation of the instinct of self-defense, just as was my uncle's act when he kicked over his beehive, or as is the angler's impatience when his line gets tangled and his hook gets fast.
His legs kicked spasmodically beneath the bedclothes. As suddenly as she had begun to laugh Mrs. McChesney became very sober. "Stop it, Jock! Tell me, why weren't you sleeping?" "I don't know," replied Jock, as suddenly solemn. "I sort of began to think, and I couldn't sleep." "What were you thinking of?" Jock looked down at the bedclothes and traced a pattern with one forefinger on the sheet.
Struggling to get up, the mule kicked the candle out and smashed most of the kitchen furniture, and raised considerable dust. These violent awakenings must have been annoying to Oliver, but he never complained. He moved to a mansion on the opposite side of the canon, because he had noticed the mules did not go there.
