Any way Patsy Flaherty gave over lambasting the old mare, and she stood still, the way you'd think she was glad of the rest. Then the gentleman took a lep down off the car, and away with him to meet the lady." "Well?" "She was mighty glad to see him," said Callaghan, "for she kissed him twice." "Nonsense," said Meldon, "she couldn't possibly have kissed him. And, listen to me now, Callaghan.
I had visions of two excited females lambasting me with umbrellas and demanding their property back. Completely at a loss I sank into a chair, feeling as bright and chipper as a poached egg. I felt that I belonged just about as much as a knothole does in a barb-wire fence. In that few minutes Bunch was more than revenged. I was on the pickle boat for sure. Sailing! sailing! over the griddle, me!
It is eminently fitting that "Les Miserables" should be condemned as immoral in the most immoral city in the United States. A Philadelphian may be depended upon to see immorality in one of Raphael's Madonnas. St. Louis Mirror. My esteemed contemporary should bottle up its indignation, there is absolutely nothing to be gained by lambasting idiots, by criticizing cretins.
Standing for a minute, Bob turned his head and nuzzled his rider's stirrup in a roguish, impatient way, as much as to intimate that it was time they were going on. "Well, I'll be plumb gosh darned!" was Daylight's comment. "No ill-will, no grudge, no nothing-and after that lambasting! You're sure a hummer, Bob." Once again Daylight was lulled into fancied security.
Dana's relentless lambasting and verifying my insistence that he posed rather as an idol to be worshiped, than a leader to be trusted and loved. He was in truth a strong man, who, sufficiently mindful of his limitations in the beginning, grew by unexampled and continued success overconfident and overconscious in his own conceit. He had a real desire to serve the country.
The little beast had slipped, under the pressure of the drive, and broken both fore legs at the bottom of a deep pit. Grip had not made three such blunders in his life, and the lambasting he had received for this one had bruised every bone in his body.
"I'll encourage them here with sundry tugs and inspiriting words. You urge them behind with a good lambasting." Accordingly we encouraged and urged, tugged and lambasted, with a right good will, but all to no effect. Our ponies did their best, but they could not pull the democrat out of that slough. "Oh, what " I began, and then I stopped.
Of course, my sympathies were with the lovely Bridget, and I was desirous that she should win but I didn't consider it my duty to interfere. I supposed the old lady had been trying to impose too much work on Bridget, and, therefore, she had rebelled, and was lambasting her for the same.
I ladled Three H all over him." "I thought Dick was a fighter from Fighterville," grinned Ford, trying hard to remain non-committal and making a poor job of it. "Well, he is, when he can stand up and box according to rule, or hit a man when he isn't looking. But my, oh! This wasn't a fight, Ford; this was like the pictures you see of an old woman lambasting her son-in-law with an umbrella.
Jacker, I intend to leave you standing here for a few moments to cool. You may have noticed, boys, that the youthful form when over-heated or possessed with unusual excitement has not that poignant susceptibility which might be thought necessary to the adequate appreciation of a judicious lambasting. Has that ever occurred to you, McKnight?
