Perhaps an error in transcription for Hara-moran, or Kara-moran, the Mongul or Tartar name of the Hoang-ho, or Whang river, near, and communicating with which, Hoaingan, or Whan-gan-fou is situated. This is an obscure indication of navigable canals on each side of the paved road of communication to the south. Cin-gui, or in the Italian pronunciation, Chin, or Tsin-gui, may possibly be Yen-tching.
For Columbine, the most interesting moment of this incident was when the mustang raised his head to look at his legs, in order to see what had been done to them. There was something almost human in that look. It expressed intelligence and fear and fury. The cowboys released his legs and let him get up. Whang stamped his iron-shod hoofs. "It was a mean trick, Whang," said Columbine.
No one who looked out of doors could mistake what was going on, for a stream of sparks was now issuing from the engine-house stack. The first notice of attack came in a single shot from across the road. A bullet sang through the doorway, flattening itself with a whang on the iron wall. Those around the opening fell back. Some one crashed the door to.
Many brings the rake, but few the shovel. Meikle must a good heart thole. Many man makes an errand to the hall to bid the Lady good-day. Many cares for meal that has baken bread enough. Make not meikle of little. Meikle spoken, part must spill. Many tines the half-mark whinger for the half-penny whang. Messengers should neither be headed nor hanged. Meikle has, would ay have more.
It must have been five o'clock. Steps. A vast cluttering of the exterior of the door by whom? Whang opens the door. Turnkey-creature extending a piece of chocolate with extreme and surly caution. I say "Merci" and seize chocolate. Klang shuts the door. I am lying on my back, the twilight does mistily bluish miracles through the slit over the whang-klang. I can just see leaves, meaning tree.
"Lord, man, take a richt whang on your plate at once, and dinna be nibblin at it that way, like a mouse at a Du'lap cheese." Saying this, he seized a knife and fork, cut a slice from the cold round, an inch in thickness, and at least six in diameter, and threw it on the stranger's plate with much about the same grace which he exhibited in tossing a truss of hay with a pitchfork.
Pilots bore a mortal hatred to these craft; and it was returned with usury. The law required all such helpless traders to keep a light burning, but it was a law that was often broken. All of a sudden, on a murky night, a light would hop up, right under our bows, almost, and an agonized voice, with the backwoods 'whang' to it, would wail out 'Whar'n the you goin' to!
"Haud yir toang, lassie, fir Gode-sak," snarled the sheep-overseer, who was the senior of our company. "Be ma saul, an A hid ony say intil't, A'd whang the de'il oot o' ye baith wi' a stokewhup." "By George! you better not include Mrs. Beaudesart in your goodwill," remarked young Mooney gravely. "You'll have Collins in your wool." "Keep your temper, Collins," murmured Nelson.
It was now that the bride-cake was got. Ould Sonsy Mary marched over, and putting the bride on her feet, got up on a chair and broke it over her head, giving round a fadge* of it to every young person in the house, and they again to their acquaintances: but, lo and behold you, who should insist on getting a whang of it but the friar, which he rolled up in a piece of paper, and put it in his pocket.
Believe me, chief, I'm right glad of this opportunity to have revenge on him. That's what I have been saying to him." "Ugh!" grunted the savage, apparently satisfied with the explanation. "Neow, capting!" angrily shouted the rifleman, once more raising his piece to the level, "look e' out! Don't be skeert abeout my hittin' o' ye! The whang lies well ageen the bit o' timber. The ball's a big un.
