I'm afraid, though," he admitted with a rueful laugh, "I rather badgered him into coming. And I expect now he is here he's not exactly blessing me for my persistency! Will you go and be very nice to him, Ann" he had dropped into the friendly usage of her Christian name, and Ann liked it "and get me out of hot water?"
You're a fighter, and you mean to fight your own battle. It might happen that, if I kept after you and badgered you and nagged you, one of these days, when you were feeling particularly all alone in the world and tired of fighting for yourself, you might consent to marry me. But it wouldn't do. Even if you reconciled yourself to it, it wouldn't do.
This poor, heavy man had other matters for misgiving than to be badgered by a woman. But the irony was lost upon the King. He said very simply: 'Why, that is true. If I be the Head, the Tail shall fear to bandy words with me. He addressed himself again to Katharine: 'I am sorry that you did not hear me argue.
At length the poor badgered king, seeing that they were preparing to set the mill on fire and smoke him out, surrendered to a follower of the Earl of Gloucester, Sir John Bix, and came out all covered with flour, while men sang: The King of the Romans gathered a host, And made him a castle of a mill post.
What I want to ask you before your mother is, will you marry me?" Mary made no reply. She did not look or give the slightest sign that she had heard. But now it was that she did not dare to look at him. The spectacle of this big man badgered by her and by her mother, pleading to her, and pleading, as he and she well knew, hopelessly, would have broken her heart if she looked at him.
"I'm sure he did not." "It's very hard to be sure of anybody, Mr Harding, very hard." "I feel quite sure that he did not. He has been a most pious, hardworking clergyman. I cannot bring myself to think that he is guilty. What does the Latin proverb say? 'No one of a sudden becomes most base." "But the temptation, Mr Harding, was very strong. He was awfully badgered about his debts.
And so I'm going, with my poor little feelings all hurted and ruffled up like anything." "Nothing of the sort," protested the badgered spectacle-wearer. "Then why such unseemly haste to make my path clear?" "I just thought that maybe you'd go back on the top of the rock, where you came from, and and be a voice again. If you won't go, I will."
Matches innumerable were consumed, and minutes of valuable time, and the quartermaster waxed fretful and impatient, and swore that his mules could find their way where the troopers couldn't, and finally, after the trail had been lost and found half a dozen times, old Brooks was badgered into telling Dean to let the ambulance take the lead. The driver shirked at once.
In conclusion, he entreated 'em to remember that the eye of the world wuz on 'em, expectin' 'em to be loyal to the badgered and woman endangered sect abroad, and try to suggest some way to stop them woman's disgraceful doin's.
What o'clock was it, I say, when you went up to the nursery?" "It was about a quarter or twenty minutes past eight how can I know any surer when I don't know. I don't carry a watch, and didn't look at the clock. I'm sure I never expected to be badgered about it in this way. I said I'd go and wake my lady up and not leave her there, to catch her death, in spite of fifty Miss Catherons.
