But Napoleon did not stay at Elba, at least not according to any accounts I have read. When word came that he was marching on Paris, Madame hastily packed up her manuscripts and started in hot haste for Coppet. But when the eighty days had passed and the bugaboo was safely on board the "Bellerophon," she came back to the scenes she loved so well and to what for her was the only heaven Paris.
Unluckily, however, in spite of her four masts and three helms, she would neither sail nor steer, and she proved but a great, unmanageable and very ridiculous tub, fully justifying all the sarcasms that had been launched upon her during the period of her construction, which had been almost as long as the siege itself. The Spaniards called her the Bugaboo a monster to scare children withal.
Even these stories are old, some of them handed down for generations. And they range from the historical tale, the love story, and the tale of adventure to the bugaboo story and the fable. Space permits only a few stories here.
A "Federal army," the bugaboo of the opposition, had been brought into existence by this unwarranted use of the militia. Seven acts placing the military power of the United States on a permanent basis and giving the Central Government efficient control were passed at this session of 1795, the first fruits of the Western rebellion to be reaped by the Union.
The rainy day which is the bugaboo for the most of us, never seemed to show on his horizon. For a man whose livelihood depended on the lasting quality of his creative faculties he had an infinite faith in the future, and indeed his own experience seemed to show that he was justified in this belief.
"It's got to go back today." He snatched the card from her hand, showed his watch as she protested, and fled for his coat. Once at the corner, he stopped running and smiled. The escape had been fairly easy and with a minimum of fuss, and he was immeasurably light-hearted, now that the report card bugaboo was off his mind. At Southern Avenue, he caught up with Sid, Silvey, and Perry Alford.
"He acts as if the Allies were a lot of children. He thinks that all he has to do is to dress up a bugaboo and we'll all roll over and play dead." "He'll get something into that thick head of his after a while," predicted Frank. "It will have to be jabbed in, but there are a lot of us ready to do the jabbing." "Let him bring on his bag of tricks," scoffed Bart.
Stella asked thoughtfully. "There's always the fire danger in the dry months. That's been a bugaboo ever since I came to the lake." "Yes, but never like it is this summer," Benton frowned. "Oh, well, no use borrowing trouble, I suppose." Stella rose. "When Jack comes, I'll be in the library," she said. "I'm going to read a while." But the book she took up lay idle in her lap.
"Old Spot didn't get me this time!" he said gleefully. "Not by a jugful, he didn't!" Throughout Pleasant Valley the very name of Grumpy Weasel was a bugaboo. Those of his size, and many a good deal bigger than he, learned early to avoid him. One of the first things Sandy Chipmunk's mother did was to teach him to beware of Grumpy.
