"When she awakes and finds herself far out at sea, there will be a devil of a racket, unless I can find a way to control her. Should she denounce me, I might be detained by the Captain, subject to an examination. And the money; it would have to go overboard or else I would go to the electric chair." He gave up his surest way of stopping the unruly woman's mouth. "No!" he mused.
No handing the dish over to an unfortunate man upon her right or left, no wild sharpening of the knife, no hacking and sawing at an unruly joint, no noise, no splash, no heat, no leaving off in despair; all is confidence and cheerfulness. The dish is set upon the table, the cover is removed; for an instant, and only an instant, you observe that Mrs.
There is a kind of valorous spleen which, like wind, is apt to grow unruly in the stomachs of newly-made soldiers, compelling them to box-lobby brawls and brokenheaded quarrels, unless there can be found some more harmless way to give it vent.
We thought that it was our friends or rather, your friends the franchise grabbers and legislature-buyers who won't obey the laws unless the laws happen to suit their convenience. They're the only unruly class I know anything about. I've heard of another kind but I've never been able to find it.
He was going to make a speech, there would be a big and unruly crowd, and it would be a crucial day for the Guard.

Yet I remained there motionless, thinking, thinking her faded rosebud lying in my hand, drooping but still fragrant. Dismiss her from my thoughts I could not.
A handful of boosy wretches are bundled into the forecastle, and as many more rolled, dead-drunk, into their bunks, to sleep off their last spree.

The pendulum, far from being urged to unruly motion, continued to swing slowly in the narrow space where it had oscillated for so many years.
