Come quick! Help here!" The robber, having uttered a stifled cry of alarm at the instant of the unexpected attack, was now thrashing mightily about on the thick rug. "Help!" he shouted. "Who are you? Let me go!" "S-sh!" commanded Perry sternly, as the others plunged to his aid, overturning a chair on the way. "Be quiet! Sit on his legs, Ossie!"
'Just to name a few of the things for interchange, said Weyburn. 'As to method, we shall be their disciples. But I look forward to our fellows getting the lead. No hurry. Why will they? you ask in petto. Well, they 're emulous, and they take a thrashing kindly. That 's the way to learn a lesson. I 've seen our fellows beaten and beaten never the courage beaten out of them.
"Well, Mr Easy," observed Vigors, as he came into the berth, "you take after your name, at all events; I suppose you intend to eat the king's provision, and do nothing." Jack's mettle was already up. "You will oblige me, sir, by minding your own business," replied Jack. "You impudent blackguard, if you say another word, I'll give you a good thrashing, and knock some of your equality out of you."
The boyish instinct of 'hide and seek' took possession of Cluffe, and he glided forth from the precincts of the Brass Castle upon the high road, just as the little hall-door was pushed open, and he heard the harsh tones of Dangerfield challenging the gooseberry bushes and hollyhocks, and thrashing the evergreens with his cane. Cluffe hied straight to his lodgings, and ordered a sack posset.
"No, sir," he said with great promptitude. "Very good," said I. "I knew you did. Now I want to know if Master Jem Bottles has passed this way to-day. A shilling for the truth and a thrashing for a lie." The man came close to my stirrup. "Master," he said, "I know you to be a friend of him. Well, in day-time he don't ride past our door. There be lanes.
I was for making Sclanders, his father, bring him over and give him the thrashing of his life, right there before the proofs of his sins." "But you didn't," Damaris cried. "You didn't. What do my shoes and stockings matter? I oughtn't to have left them on the shore. It was putting temptation in his way." Faircloth looked at her smiling. "No I didn't, and for two reasons.
"I'll try and keep the promise I gave you, not to betray about the surplice I will indeed; but don't you say again, please, that Arthur is guilty." To talk of killing somebody, and to set about doing it, are two things. Gerald Yorke's "killing" would have amounted to no more than a good thrashing.
As it is, I hear they have marched away over that ridge in as good order as they came, and so we shall have all the work of thrashing them to do over again." "They say that is what Sir Arthur wanted to do, father, but Burrard overruled him."
It flashed across him that she might be playing that young violinist against him! No, she never would do that! But the young beast looked just the sort that might take advantage of her smiles. If only he WOULD do something that was not respectful, how splendid it would be to ask him to come for a walk in the woods, and, having told him why, give him a thrashing.
If I hadn't thought of Regina, I should have behaved in a manner unworthy of a Christian I believe I should have taken my walking-cane, and given him a sound thrashing."
