I'd orders from Gungadhura to search your house, Krishna knows what for, and I rode up to ask your leave to do it, hoping you'd be alone after the party. Chamu told me you and your husband had gone out, and one of the three beggars gave me a message intended for you that tallied pretty close with one I knew you'd received already, so I guessed where to head for, and sent the dog in advance.
She carried a very beautiful half-blown rose in her hand, which, as soon as she approached her husband, she placed carefully in his button-hole, standing on tiptoe to perform this graceful Sunday morning service. 'Thank you, mother, said Mr Prothero, smiling, and looking down complacently on his little wife. What went with all his lecture upon the profligacy of Irish beggars?
Was it strange that Orange should feel little affinity with such companions? Had he not reason to hesitate, if the sacred cause of civil and religious liberty could only be maintained by these defenders and with such assistance? The "beggars" did not content themselves with the name alone of the time- honored fraternity of Mendicants in which they had enrolled themselves.

Beggars followed him on the streets, awaited him in their chosen coigns of vantage on the corners, or haunted him on the ferry-boat that took him each day from his home to his office.
"Did they?" said Smith eagerly. "Yes, that was plain enough," I said; "and they must have fought it out there till the pirates got the upper hand." "I bet tuppence the beggars pitched stinkpots down through the cabin skylight, and half-smothered them," said Barkins excitedly. "I daresay they did," I replied thoughtfully, "for I did see one of the lockers all scorched and burned just by the deck.

The goat protested against the amateur, and there was a scuffle, in which Scott snatched up the baby. Then it was all to do over again, and William laughed softly and merrily. She managed, however, to feed two babies, and a third. 'Don't the little beggars take it well! said Scott. 'I trained 'em.
