What suits our hoary mother-country God bless and keep her and keep us loyal to her! is but dry husks for us. England knows nothing of our most pressing needs. I ask you to consider how, previous to 1855, that pretty pair of mandarins, Lord John Russell and Earl Grey, boggled and botched the crucial question of unlocking the lands even yet, gentlemen, the result of their muddling lies heavy on us.
Five days before the trial, September the sixteen, get word to me at the 'King's Arms' in Stirling; and if ye've managed for yourself as long as that, I'll see that ye reach Inverary." "One thing more," said I: "Can I no' see Alan?" He seemed boggled. "Hech, I would rather you wouldna," said he.
Her brain boggled at an elusive spiritual idea. She was very young, flung cleanly trained from the convent into the war's terrific tragedy, wherein maiden romantic fancies were scorched in the tender bud. Only her honest traditions of marriage remained. Of love she knew nothing. She leaped beyond it, seeking, seeking. She would never see him again. There she met the Absolute.
He boggled over the word, then got it out resonantly. A man he knew well. Not a young man, perhaps certainly he was not going to hand his only daughter to any boy, a mere novice in life! but a man who could give her the position she deserved. Not only a rich man, but an influential one. His name, he brought out at last, was Hamdi Bey. He was a general in the armies of the sultan.
Demosthenes himself would have had a sore throat worse than when he swallowed the golden cup of Harpalus, had Demosthenes been placed in so cursed a fix. Therefore Randal Leslie may well be excused if he stammered and boggled, if he was appalled by a cheer when he said a word in vindication of Egerton, and looked cringing and pitiful when he sneaked out a counter civility to Dick.
But wot 'appened after that, Jock?" "There was one thing they boggled at, and almost shut th' gate i' my face for, and that were my dog Blast, th' only one saved out o' a litter o' pups as was blowed up when a keg o' minin' powder loosed off in th' storekeeper's hut.
"It seems to me the mine should have paid it at once." "Fifty thousand," answered Wiley, gazing glumly at the ground and the Colonel opened his eyes! "Fifty thousand!" he exclaimed. "Only fifty thousand dollars? Well! What were the circumstances, Wiley?" He stood expectant and as Wiley boggled and hesitated Virginia rose up and stood beside him.
What he was going to might be Paradise, but Paul's imagination rightly boggled at the conception of a Paradise more perfect. On the last point Barney Bill was eloquent; but Paul, with delicious memories sanctifying his young soul, turned a deaf ear to his misogyny. Barney Bill was very old and crooked and dried up; what beautiful lady would waste her blandishments on him?
But I must say I came to this decision with a good deal of genuine fright; and here I came for the first time to one of those places where my courage stuck. I do not mean that my courage boggled and made a bit of a bother over it, as it did over the escape from the Castle; I mean, stuck, like a stopped watch, or a dead man.
"But, I say, Scott! He's a prefect!" "In the dictionary of crime," said Scott sententiously, "there is no such word as prefect. All are alike. Go and take down Trent's statement." To tax a prefect with having stolen a sovereign was a task at which Pillingshot's imagination boggled. He went to Trent's study in a sort of dream. A hoarse roar answered his feeble tap.
