By the way, I heard something yesterday of his kicking up a bobbery in the kitchen, and seeing a ghost, or something of that kind, himself. Depend upon it, Barney is in the plot."
Full of facetiæ, too, about his looks, which were "rasonable promising," and about the girls of Douglas, who were "neither good nor middling." She was also full of sage counsel, advising marriage with a warm girl having "nice things at her nice lands and pigs and things" as a ready way to square the "bobbery" of thirty years ago at Ballawhaine.
'We done that job to rights if we never done another, eh, lad? says father, reaching out for a coal to put in his pipe. 'Seems like it, I said. 'There'll be a deuce of a bobbery about it. We shan't be able to move for a bit, let alone clear out. 'We'll show 'em a trick or two yet, says dad. I could see he'd had a tot, early as it was. 'I wonder how them chaps got on? But we'll hear soon.
"Yes, sir," answered the seaman, "we've been and drubbed the Monsieurs; but there are still two on 'em below kicking up a bobbery. If you'll take the helm, sir, I'll go and help Pringle to make them fast." "No, no," answered the midshipman somewhat indignantly, as if his courage or strength had been called in question. "I can do that. You stay at the helm."
No, those fishermen won't kick up a bobbery when they get back to happy Portugal again; and as for our own crowd here on board, they ain't likely to talk when they get ashore, and have money due to them." "Well, I suppose there's reason in that, though I should have my doubts about the stonemason. He comes from Sierra Leone, remember, and they're great on the rights of man there."
I had one very noble-looking kangaroo hound that I had brought from Australia with me, and my 'bobbery pack' of terriers contained canine specimens of all sorts, sizes, and colours. On nearing a village, you would see one black fellow, 'Pincher, set off at a round trot ahead, with seemingly the most innocent air in the world. 'Tilly, 'Tiny, and 'Nipper' follow.
He joined the crowds, vociferated and shouted among them at the top of his lungs, and took the liberty of laying down the law on the subject, as he termed it: that is to say, of swearing that one stick or stone of their dirty Establishment should not be left upon another, but that the whole bobbery of it must be sent to blazes where it would all go yet, plaise God.
"I know that's so," and Dolly's blue eyes looked very troubled, "but it isn't nice to take clothing from anybody but your own people." "But Dolly," argued Alicia, "if you kick up a bobbery, and refuse to take this kind offer, then we'll all have to do the same, and you deprive us all of the pretty presents." "Oh, Alicia, I'd be sorry to do that!" "Well, that's what it would amount to.
"I'm a living man and not a ghost." "The man himself," said Black Tom. "Peter Quilliam alive and hearty," said Cæsar. "I am," said Pete. "And now, what's the bobbery between the pair of you? Shuperintending the beaching of my trunk, eh?" But having recovered from his terror at the idea that Pete was a spirit, Cæsar began to take him to task for being a living man. "How's this?" said he.
All of a sudden I heard a noise, heard someone fall, looked round and beheld T'ong, perspiration pouring down his back and front. "Oh, master, this b'long velly much bobbery. I makee velly frightened. I think p'laps master wantchee makee run away." And then, after a time: "You no wantchee catch 'chow'?" "Chow?" No, I could easily have gone without food for that night.
