She rushed right into the group of boys, all fully as big as she was, soundly boxed Arlo Weeks' ears, and just as many times as she could do so before he outran her and left her, panting and still wrathful, on the curb. The other boys backed away, leaving Arlo Junior to fight his own battle or run, if that seemed to him the part of wisdom, as evidently it had.
The Dalton youths will be suiciding on account of the returned Calla that lily is the one that stands beings boxed up without food or atmosphere for half the year, I believe, hence my comparison: you have withstood Glenwood, and come out of the ring more beautiful than when you entered.

On the other hand, M. Huguenin managed to dispose to my father of one of his multum-in-parvo exercising-machines, on the understanding that it was to be taken back at half-price on the expiration of our stay in Liverpool; but, when that time came, M. Huguenin failed to remember having been a party to any such understanding; so the big framework was boxed up, and finally was resurrected in Concord, where I labored with it for seven or eight years more during my home-comings from Harvard.
Mother said she didn't think I need put mine on; that we might be in the garden, perhaps, and I should enjoy it better if I didn't have to think about my frock." "I never put my best one on unless I'm obliged to," said Marjory. "I always feel so boxed up in it, and it always reminds me of sermons and tea-parties." Blanche laughed merrily. "Oh!" she cried, "are the sermons very long here?"
As soon as he had got into the court-yard, he moved very softly, and the ladies were so much engrossed with counting the kisses, that all might go on fairly, that they did not perceive the Emperor. He rose on his tiptoes. "What is all this?" said he, when he saw what was going on, and he boxed the Princess's ears with his slipper, just as the swineherd was taking the eighty-sixth kiss.
Where duelling is a habitual and honourable exercise, men do not take the trouble to restrain primitive passions. Even in dealings with ladies of their own rank, French nobles often stepped over the line where rudeness ends and insult begins. When Malherbe boxed the ears of a viscountess he did nothing which he was unwilling to talk about.
This ain't no healthy place for a stranger to come." "No not impudent whelps, Sid. You ought to had your jaws boxed; I hain't been so put out since I don't know when. But I don't care, I don't mind the terms I'd be willing to stand a thousand such jokes to have you here. Well, to think of that performance! I don't deny it, I was most putrified with astonishment when you give me that smack."

Whereupon Mrs. Price boxed her husband's ears, to the great delight of Mrs. Toff, who was dispensing sherry and cherry brandy in her own sitting-room.
Leonora behaved better in a sense. She just boxed Mrs Maidan's ears yes, she hit her, in an uncontrollable access of rage, a hard blow on the side of the cheek, in the corridor of the hotel, outside Edward's rooms. It was that, you know, that accounted for the sudden, odd intimacy that sprang up between Florence and Mrs Ashburnham. Because it was, of course, an odd intimacy.
"Seeing you. Or not even seeing you. Knowing you're there." "Poor child. Does that make you happy?" "Utterly happy. Always." "I didn't know." He stooped forward, hiding his face in his hands. "You don't realise it. You've no idea what it'll mean to be boxed up in this place together, all our lives, with this between us." "It's always been between us. We shall be no worse off.
