There was no news of Edwardes and Fowler. This news upset the apple-cart, and telegrams began to fly around, with the result that Colonel Kelly was put in command of the troops in the Gilgit district, with full civil powers on his line of operations. This telegram arrived on the evening of the 22nd.
There would no doubt be a distinct gain as well as a certain artistic fitness in unyoking the strong-minded female of our species from the Chariot of Progress and yoking her to the apple-cart or fish-wagon, and but that is another story; the imminence of the draughtwoman is not foreshadowed in the report of our Consul at Liege. Mr.
I wonder they did not get engaged then, and can only conclude as there was no ME then to upset the apple-cart that he did not know how rich she was going to be. Anyway, I feel certain that it was Evelyn Mary who was at the back of his plan for settling down as a respectable stock-jobber.
"But chance always takes a hand in a round game, and at the psychological moment I come out of my house and upset an apple-cart your apple-cart, my good Grenelli. What incredible bad luck! to be bowled out by a shiny, red-cheeked pippin from Mattie Townley's orchard in Saco, Maine. You will remember a somewhat similar incident in the Garden of Eden several thousand years ago.
First, because Miss Grant is in love with him, and wouldn't listen to you and wouldn't believe you, if she did listen to you; and secondly because, if I may use a vulgarism quite unfit for your aristocratic ears, you will upset the apple-cart."

"I only felt rather You do tease, you know, and your eyes twinkle so mischievously that I felt that discretion was the better part of valour." "Well, don't do it again then, that's all, or I may turn rusty and upset the apple-cart. No reason that I know of why I should be ostracised, because I try to help my fellow-creatures.

Once, when I thought I had planted a Creamery within the precincts of the town of Rathkeale, my co-operative apple-cart was upset by a local solicitor who, having elicited the fact that our movement recognised neither political nor religious differences that the Unionist-Protestant cow was as dear to us as her Nationalist-Catholic sister gravely informed me that our programme would not suit Rathkeale.
While we were waiting for our filet to be prepared Indiman wrote a brief note and had it despatched by messenger; it was addressed, as he showed me, to Madame L. Hernandez, Division Street. "I'm not going to have that booby upset the apple-cart for a second time," he said, savagely. "Now we shall have to wait for at least three days."
"Now then, sir, you let me hyste you up a little. Don't you try I can do it, and hold the nut to your lips. You will have nothing to do but drink." At the first touch Archie started violently. "Who's that?" he cried. "Only me, sir. Steady, or you will upset the whole blessed apple-cart, and make yourself wet."
A waster stands for something, really. He says: 'No, I will not aid and abet society in this business of increase and hanging together, I will upset the apple-cart as much as I can, in my small way. Or else he says: 'No, I will not bother about others. If I have lusts, they are my own, and I prefer them to other people's virtues. So, a waster, a scamp, takes a sort of stand.
