A square boxed, dark green wagon, drawn by a sorrel horse, sometimes called by the genuine Yankee "yellow," and driven by a white-haired man, whose silvery locks, falling around his wrinkled face, gave to him a pleasing, patriarchal appearance, which interested the doctor far more than did the flutter of the blue ribbon beside him, even though the bonnet that ribbon tied shaded the face of a young girl.
What could he say?" "I don't know," Hugh answered. "He might have made fun of me." "Fun of you! After saving my life! I'd have boxed his ears! No, no, Peter wouldn't do that. He's afraid of me." She was so proud of this that Hugh, perforce, laughed. It was after supper, and they had walked a little way from the cabin.
What made it worse, too, was that when rich people came in their carriages, or riding on fine horses, with servants to attend to them, the village people would take off their hats and be very polite and attentive: and if the children were rude they got their ears boxed; as to the dogs if a single dog dared to growl at a rich man he was beaten and then tied up without any supper.
There's nothing else to be done, and I should think you'd be well satisfied with the opportunity." "But I am not sure I can do it," confessed the bully, hesitatingly. "Do it! Why, you ought to do it with one hand tied behind your back." But Bascomb was not so easily reassured. "I have boxed with him," said the big fellow, "and I know he is not easy fruit for anybody." "You boxed in the gym?"
The next day he repeated this dose, and, in spite of the ejaculations of Sarah, and the tears of Mrs Easy, who dared not venture to plead her cause, and the violent resistance of Master Johnny, who appeared to have a presentiment of what was to come, our hero was put into Dr Middleton's chariot, and with the exception of one plate of glass, which he kicked out of the window with his feet, and for which feat the Doctor, now that he had him all to himself, boxed his ears till he was nearly blind, he was, without any further eventful occurrence, carried by the Doctor's footman into the parlour of Mr Bonnycastle.
It was bitter to listen to the eulogies of the pugilist, when all the while he knew that, as far as any immediate results were concerned, it did not really matter whether he boxed well or feebly.
"I understood you to say the other night, sir, that he should have further advice." "Ay; I wish him to go over to Lynneborough, to Dr. Martin; the drive, I think, will do him good," replied Mr. Carlyle. "And I would like you to accompany him, if you do not mind the trouble. You can have the pony carriage, it will be better to go in that than boxed up in the railway carriage. You can remind Dr.
The General hustled Lisa away, muttering oaths beneath his great white moustache. When Andrew Smallie picked himself up, Carl von Mendebach was standing over him. "Tell him," said Carl in German, "that that was my sister." I told Smallie. Then Carl von Mendebach slowly drew off his fur glove and boxed Smallie heavily on the ear so that he rolled over sideways.
There are many people who have been endowed with one master-passion, that "like Aaron's serpent swallows up the rest," but Larry's ingenuous breast harboured a nest of such serpents. During his three years at Oxford, he had stormed from one enthusiasm to another; he had rowed, and boxed, and spouted politics, and, beginning with music, had stormed on through poetry and the drama, to painting.
Is not this a physiological experiment? Would they not feel equally tranquil if they repeated the multiplication table, or boxed the compass? "Millions have believed this that prayers are answered and these millions have prayed to different gods. Were they all wrong or all right? Would a tentative prayer be listened to?
