Help!" cried Myra. "You aren't in The Spectator office now, Simpson," said Archie severely, as he fished with the boat-hook. "There is a time for ballyragging. By the way, I suppose you do want it back again?" "It's my fault," I confessed remorsefully; "I told him yesterday I didn't like it." "Myra and I do like it, Mr Simpson. Please save it, Archie."
"Naggeneen," said the King, "it's trouble enough you've made for all of us, and it's ballyragging enough you and all the rest of us have got for it, and we don't know, as His Majesty said, what more is to come. So now do the only thing you was ever good for and give us a tune out of the fiddle."
"What do you mean by assaulting and ballyragging me in this way? I'll have it out of you for this, my fine gentleman. You're a detective officer, are you? a knowing card, of course; and you've followed me all the way from Warwickshire, and traced me, step by step, I suppose, and taken no end of trouble, eh?

I shall never forget it, never! 'Twould have melted a marble stone! But she couldn't find him nowhere at all."
But I will not come unless I am assured of the absence of Lady Sarah. I will not subject myself to her insolence, nor put myself in the way of being annoyed by a ballyragging quarrel." "I and my sisters are always at Church on Sunday afternoons," said Lady Sarah. In this way the matter was arranged, and then the Marquis took himself off.
'Well, he might have been called away by a telegram, for instance. 'What rot! Why should he make such a mystery of it if that was all? 'He'd have explained all right if somebody had asked him properly. You get a chap like Norris, who, when he loses his hair, has got just about as much tact as a rhinoceros, going and ballyragging the man, and no wonder he won't say anything. I shouldn't myself.
