A very good mayde she is and fully to my mind, being neat, only they say a little apt to scold, but I hear her not. To my office all the morning busy. Dined at home. To my office again, being pretty well reconciled to my wife, which I did desire to be, because she had designed much mirthe to-day to end Christmas with among her servants.
"Oh! I must scold you. Work is making you lose your head. Can you not take time to eat?" He smiled sadly. "It is not time that I want." He fumbled in his pocket and brought out three big sous. "I cannot dine at a restaurant with six sous." She threw herself in his arms. "O dearest, forgive me!" she cried. "Poor, dear martyr! Dear, great man!
Two men sauntered along it and stopped almost at the very spot where the comrades were lying. Aylward could see their dark figures outlined against the starry sky. "Why should you scold, Jacques," said one of them, speaking a strange half-French, half-English lingo. "Le diable t'emporte for a grumbling rascal. You won a woman and I got nothing. What more would you have?"
No one said a word and all went away humbled." The next day the Rector sent for the two men, not to scold them, but to speak to them, and sent them each away with a Bible.

'I suppose, she began, 'I'm dreadfully late, and the steward looks as if he would like to scold me. How awfully the ship is rolling! Is there a storm? 'No. She seems to be doing this sort of thing for amusement. Wants to make it interesting for the unfortunate passengers who are not good sailors, I suppose. She's doing it, too. There's scarcely anyone on deck. 'Dear me!
"Well, Mari'," exclaimed the captain, good-naturedly, "here you are, scolding away as if you had been in the place these six months, and knew all its faults and weaknesses." "Can't help a scold, master, in sich a time as dis come away from dem plates, you Great Smash, and let a proper hand take hold on 'em."
"Why, the village keeps me busy, your ladyship, when I have neither knitting or sewing to do. You know I took X. for my letter at the repository, because it stands for Xantippe, who was a great scold in old times, as I have learnt. But I'm sure I don't know how the world would get on without scolding, your ladyship. It would go to sleep, and the sun would stand still."
Wigfall thought proper, in the United States Senate, to sneer at him as "an ex-rail-splitter, an ex-grocery keeper, an ex-flatboat captain, and an ex-Abolition lecturer" and proceeded to scold and rant at the North with furious volubility. "Then, briefly," said he, "a Party has come into power that represents the antagonism to my own Section of the Country.
This is a specimen of the conduct of that weak King governed by that first minister to whom poets and historians have given the glory they have stripped from his master; as, for instance, all the works of the siege of Rochelle, and the invention and unheard-of success of the celebrated dyke, all solely due to the late King!
