In particular, friend Foster pinked the King in such wise that his Majesty ran howling down the street like a gored bull-pup. We were beset by numbers, however, and might have ended our mission then and there had not the watch appeared upon the scene, struck up our weapons with their halberds, and so arrested the whole party.
But I'd use the bull-pup, gran'pa see, this one the pacific one I'd empty upon him with powder only, as a sort of feu de joie and then I'd set up the song what's it? ah! Te Deum. A black spider always puts me in mind of a rascal." The youth barely stopped to swallow his breakfast, when be set off from the village.
He knows no more of Irish character than a blind bull-pup. His master in my opinion is worse, if possible. He is deaf to all the arguments of Irish sense and Irish culture, and proposes to finally resolve the unresolvable, to settle the Irish difficulty by a Catholic Parliament. As well go out with a net to catch the wind. He listens to the representatives of ruffianism, counting them first.
And her husband's also was cordial and intimate. The only member of the Fosdick household who did not regard the guest with favor was Googoo. That aristocratic bull-pup was still irreconcilably hostile. When Albert attempted to pet him he appeared to be planning to devour the caressing hand, and when rebuked by his mistress retired beneath a davenport, growling ominously.
Gammon laughed for five minutes uproariously. "Would you like a little bull-pup, Mrs. Bubb? he asked at length. "Not me, Mr. Gammon. I've enough pups of my own, thank you all the same."

But as soon as money was up on him he was a different dog; his under-jaw'd begin to stick out like the fo'-castle of a steamboat, and his teeth would uncover and shine like the furnaces.
'It would be all the better for you if you'd joined some other body, you young scamp, I said. 'Who told you to come here? I've half a mind to belt you home again to your mother; and I walked towards him. 'No, you won't, Dick Marston, don't you make any mistake, says the young bull-pup, looking nasty. 'I'm as good a man as you, with this little tool. Here he pulled out his revolver.
My peace-maker longs to brush up them whiskers. My bull-pup is eager to take you, Brother Stevens, by the muzzle! Mount you, as quick as you can, before I do mischief." Backing toward their horses, they yielded to the advancing muzzles, which the instinct of fear made them loath to turn their backs upon. Never were two hopeful projectors so suddenly abased so completely baffled.
"This," said he, after a careful examination, in which he fancied he discovered some slight difference between them in the hang of the trigger "this shall be my bull-pup this my peace-maker!"
