Mind what you say!" blustered Mark, unpleasantly surprised at this outburst from a boy whom he expected would now transfer his allegiance from Frank to himself. "I mean that you and your father have robbed Frank of his inheritance, and glory in it, and you think that I am mean enough to desert him because he is no longer rich. It makes no difference to me whether he is rich or poor.
And a wave of the hand towards the advancing myrmidons indicated the searchers. "You go too far, sir," blustered the earl. "Ay, surely," put in Mr. Caryll. "You are mad to think a gentleman is to submit to being searched by any knave that comes to him with a cock-and-bull tale about the Secretary of State." Mr. Green leered again, and produced a paper.
He was interested, and possibly he was alarmed; at any rate, he went to his safe, put the roll of fifty-dollar bills in his pocket, and hastened over to Captain Patterdale's house. "When people come to my house, and I'm not at home, I don't like to have them talk to my servants about my affairs," blustered the strange man.
"You bought two hundred thousand dollars of the last issue of government bonds, they tell me, with your two years' profits from the Western Railway Construction Company." "I bought no bonds," blustered Walters. "What money I have I made out of speculating in the stock of my road on legitimate inside information." "Your uncle in Wilkesbarre, I meant," pursued Roebuck.
Her look and every inflection of the defiant high voice proved she meant it; proved it to the dumfounded Ruloff, in a way that sent funny little shivers down his spine. The man came to a shambling halt; aghast at the transfigured little wisp of humanity who confronted him in such gay fearlessness. "Why don't I dare?" he blustered, lifting the brass-buckled weapon again.
At first no doubt, the breakers! how aptly named! had begun their attack against the poor crippled thing's hull by degrees, little billows leading the assault that could only leap half-way up the side of the stranded steamer, falling back with impotent mutterings in a passion of spray; then, as the tide rose, these were succeeded by bigger waves rolling in from the eastwards, which, swollen with pride and brimming with destruction, beat and blustered all about the vessel from cutwater to sternpost, seeking ingress through the timbers that they might fall upon her and devour her.
Dawson turned redder than ever, and looked very fierce at him; but Tom closed his mouth, planted his feet firmly on the ground, and doubling his fists, said "You'd better not attempt it, Dickey; you know me now." Dawson did know him, and so he blustered out "You're a beastly fellow, that I know; and so I'll go and tell Blackall what you say."
I don't forget a man who shoots off low-down sneers at me. Here! You come back here! I want to ask a few questions, my man." Farr continued on his way, opening his book. "If I ever see you again " blustered the lover. "I sincerely hope that will never happen," remarked the stranger, without turning his head.
"I will give those careless secretaries a lesson they sorely need," and in this disturbed condition of mind he blustered out of the apartment, forgetting his usual gallantries, which Madame so diplomatically put aside without giving too serious offense. Jerome leaned against the window-facing, his unseeing eyes resting on the park beyond the little garden at our feet.
"I want to be put next in this pigs-in-clover railroad puzzle," was the blunt statement of the need. "Our freight contract with the Transcontinental is about to expire, and I'd like to get it renewed on the same terms as before." "Well," she said ingenuously, "why don't you do it?" "I can't," he blustered. "Everybody has suddenly grown mysterious or gone crazy I don't know which.
