When we were compelled to beach the old craft, for fear of them scoundrelly pirates, it came into my head what a pity it would be to have her used illegal; for she do outsail a'most everything, as your honor can bear witness. So I just laid a half-hour fuse to three big-powder barrels as is down there in the hold; and I expect to see a blow-up almost every moment.
This Powder House, in the middle of the last century, was a source of anxiety to the inhabitants of the town, who fully anticipated, at any moment, a blow-up, and the destruction of the town. The Powder House was afterwards converted into a receptacle for French prisoners. My grandfather knew the place well.
"Be quick, Johnny Target, or it will end in a blow-up." The boy, who was not a little confused with the blow, sufficiently recovered his senses to obey the order, and whimpering as he came up, returned the ruler to the hands of Mr O'Gallagher.
It is only by the exercise of constant prudence and moderation that we have been able to prevent the discordant elements from ending in a blow-up. If good Constitutional men are returned, I think that at the end of five years the Dominion may be considered safe from being prejudiced by any internal dissension.
"I daresay Miss Ada's rage would only increase in fury if she saw you performing a triumph-dance and rejoicing so extravagantly over her defeat. I remember a few years ago something of the same kind occurring in our school, and wasn't there a blow-up at the end!
While drinking it, he says, "It was after the case-filling blow-up when I first see you, commander. You remember?" "I remember, Phil. You were walking along in the sun." "Crawling, guv'ner, again a wall " "True, Phil shouldering your way on " "In a night-cap!" exclaims Phil, excited. "In a night-cap " "And hobbling with a couple of sticks!" cries Phil, still more excited.
I looked up very innocently, but made no reply. Mr O'Gallagher's favourite expression, to wit, "that it would end in a blow-up," proved, as far as his school was concerned, literally true. He had not the means of procuring another suitable tenement in Chatham, and as soon as he had recovered from the injuries he had received, he quitted the town.
I dare say, for instance, if ever I am publicly executed, I shall die game. 'God forbid! said Lord Scrope. 'I say, Cadurcis, I would not drink any Burgundy if I were you. I shall take a glass of cold water. 'Ah! you are only a second, and so you want to cool your valour, said Cadurcis. 'You have all the fun. 'But how came this blow-up? inquired Lord Scrope. 'Letters discovered, eh?
I feel as if we were a regular company of play-actors now." "Won't you give them a blow-up first, father?" "No, Benjy, no. Never put your best foot foremost. The proverb is a false one as many proverbs are. We will dynamite them afterwards, and electrify them last of all. Go, look sharp."
"You know, not the least of your capabilities is your knack of finding servant-replacements on short notice," she told him. "My general factotum, Buck Pendexter, is a prominent personage in New Belfast colored lodge circles," Rand said. "When your cook and maid quit on you, the day of the blow-up, all I had to do was phone him, and he did the rest."
