Arriving at the edge of the wood he sat down on a boulder, holding the other orange in his hand, and thought that he had come ridiculously early on the ground. Before very long, however, he heard the swishing of bushes, footsteps on the hard ground, and the sounds of a disjointed loud conversation. A voice somewhere behind him said boastfully, "He's game for my bag."
Never did the bourgeoisie rule more absolutely; never did it more boastfully display the insignia of sovereignty. It is not here my purpose to write the history of its legislative activity, which is summed up in two laws passed during this period: the law reestablishing the duty on wine, and the laws on education, to suppress infidelity.
The best legislative brains in the world have made no progress against this evil," it said. He closed the book, threw it away from him and looked at his big fist lying on the counter and at the youth talking boastfully to the waiter. A smile played about the corners of his mouth. He opened and closed his fist reflectively.
"How do you know they're going to break into the house to-night?" he demanded of Burke; "or do you only think they're going to break into the house?" "I know they are." The Inspector's harsh voice brought out the words boastfully. "I fixed it." "You did!" There was wonder in the magnate's exclamation. "Sure," Burke declared complacently, "did it through a stool-pigeon."
"You're stronger'n I am, Mike," said Jim. "Maybe he'd turn on me, and I can't fight him as well as you." "That's so," said Mike, who had rather a high idea of his own prowess, and felt pleased with the compliment. "I'm a match for him." "Of course you be," said Jim, artfully, "and he knows it." "Of course he does," said Mike, boastfully. "I can lick him with one hand."
As in everything he did for his girl, Victor pointed boastfully to his forethought of her convenience and her tastes: the pine-panels of the interior, the shelves for her books, pegs to hang her favourite drawings, and the couch-bunk under a window to conceal the summerly recliner while throwing full light on her book; and the hearth-square for logs, when she wanted fire: because Fredi bathed in any weather: the oaken towel-coffer; the wood-carvings of doves, tits, fishes; the rod for the flowered silken hangings she was to choose, and have shy odalisque peeps of sunny water from her couch.
He would have learned that a stab in the back, or a shot from behind a fragment of rock, were approved modes of taking satisfaction for insults. He would have heard men relate boastfully how they or their fathers had wreaked on hereditary enemies in a neighbouring valley such vengeance as would have made old soldiers of the Thirty Years' War shudder.
"Don't trouble yourself about the matter. They might very probably like to do that, or any other piece of villainy, but they dare not. They are cowards at heart, let them talk ever so boastfully." I was not convinced, and determined to watch them.
"Will there not? Hum! I am not so confident. You are a brave man, M. de Luynes, but you lack that great auxiliary of valour discretion. What need to fling into the teeth of those fine gentlemen the reason you had for spitting Canaples, eh? You have provoked a dozen enemies for Andrea where only one existed." "I will answer for all of them," I retorted boastfully.
It was more in the nature of a command than is usual between captain and mate. The girls felt this, as well as did the boys. But they said nothing. "Come along and see how we are progressing," continued Captain Brisco in more genial tones, as Jack Jepson left the cabin. "Then you are going to be ready in time?" asked Paul. "Ahead of time," said the commander, boastfully.
