I fear, that we may before long see the tribunals defied, the tax-gatherer resisted, public credit shaken, property insecure, the whole frame of society hastening to dissolution. It is easy to say, "Be bold: be firm: defy intimidation: let the law have its course: the law is strong enough to put down the seditious." Sir, we have heard all this blustering before; and we know in what it ended.
The chief mate, an arrant sycophant, taking his cue from his superior officer imitated him to the utmost extent of his ability, with a like result; while the second mate was a blustering bully, whose great pride and boast it was that he could always make one man do the work of two.
Some weeks after Nevil was off again, she abused herself for her half-hearted love of him, and would have given him anything the last word in favour of the Country versus the royal Martyr, for example, had he insisted on it. She gathered, bit by bit, that he had dashed at his big blustering cousin Cecil to vindicate her good name.
Then, after a shuddering pause, she came a step nearer and said, in a lower whisper than ever: "He didn't die of his own accord. He was murdered." Max grew hot, and cold. He heartily wished he had never come. "All the more reason," he went on in a blustering voice, "why you should inform the police. You had better lose no time about it."
'If I go home now I shall find him blustering there. I don't feel equal to any more of him just now, he thought.
He was not rude or blustering, like the robin, nor did he make offensive remarks, after the manner of a blackbird; he simply signified his intention of having his neighbor go, and go he did, nolens volens. It was droll to see how this "meek and gentle" fellow met blackbird impudence.
But his carriage, though he was pre-eminently a well-made man, was the attribute most spoilt about him. He had the blustering yet shuffling bearing of a man who is fully convinced that he has gone to the dogs, and it did not alter its expression that he was making an effort to quit his canine associates.
It was a blustering February afternoon Cecil long remembered it; the north wind had strewn the ground with dead branches, and cawing rooks, on the eve of wedlock, were drifting about incoherently on the breeze.
From the mouth of one came a piercing cold, from the second a blustering north wind, and from the third came impenetrable darkness. "That must be the Ice Witch and her tribe," thought the boy. He understood that now was the time for him to flee, but he was so curious to see the outcome of the meeting between the Sun and the Ice Witch that he tarried.
Besieged by the unconscionable rascals of the world, fawning or blustering to get contracts at extraordinary prices, Lord Inverforth struck a master blow at this international cupidity by obtaining control of the principal raw materials and instituting the system of costing. Manufacturers got their contracts on a fixed basis of profits.
