What's easy of digestion will do; but what's bad for little boys' stomachs may get you into a scrape, and then it will end in a blow-up; that is, you'll have a taste of the ferrule or the rod two assistants of mine, to whom I've not yet had the pleasure of introducing you all in good time. If what I've hear of you be true, you and they will be better acquainted afore long."
He was rescued, then fainted, and upon inspection was found to have a broken leg. The leg was bandaged and the man resuscitated, and when this last act of kindness was accomplished he said faintly: "This ain't so bad. I've been in a blow-up." A Cool Request.
I'll just tell you, it was for talking; you see, the first thing for a boy to learn, is to hold his tongue, and that shall be your lesson for the day; you'll just sit down there and if you say one word during the whole time you are in the school, it will end in a blow-up; that means, on the present occasion, that I'll skin you alive as they do the eels, which being rather keen work, will just suit your constitution."
Seems as if the blow-up had sent him ever so far away, and he's lying yonder amongst the stripped trees." "Eh? What's that?" said the Major excitedly. "Not one of my lads?" "No, sir. As far as I can make out by what's left of his clothes, he's one of the enemy." "One of the enemy!" cried the Major. "Why, we are coming to the truth, then.

I used to drink my share then.
"Gee, but that will make a blow-up for your whiskers. Say! I'd like to sell tickets of admission for this performance. That would be poor, wouldn't it?" "It may not be necessary to blow it up," Ned observed. "If Lieutenant Gordon sent a couple of secret service men back there, as arranged, the fellows have not got into their bomb-chamber.
There are upwards of thirty such tubes, and the suction business is done by two enormous fifty-horse-power steam-engines in the basement of our splendid building. There is a third engine, which is kept ready to work in case of a break-down, or while one of the others is being repaired." "Ah! May, wouldn't there be the grand blow-up if you were to burst your boilers in the basement?" said Phil.
It was some blow-up! At least the Turk found it so. "What do you want me to do?" that unfortunate asked me, after the Park men finished with him. "Oh, go outside and die!"

"You've escaped death from fire, flood, and fools.
Does he lay his head on the pillow, pull his bedclothes over him, and go to sleep with the necessity of the chambardement general, as the French slang has it, of the general blow-up, always present to his mind? And if so how can he?
Now that was a moment that very nearly saw the calm broken; for an instant I was sure there would be a grand blow-up. For the mate was after Nils' belongings, his sea-chest.
