They had just had a "division" an hour or two before in the House of Lords on the Home Rule Bill. Six Lords were at the dinner and their wives. One was a Duke, two were Bishops, and the other three were Earls. They expect a general "bust-up." If the King does so and so, off with the King! That's what they fear the Liberals will do. It sounds very silly to me; but you can't exaggerate their fear.
He reflected, playing with the mere horror of the thought, upon just how complete the "bust-up" would be if she knew! He realized that he had undeserved good luck with Lily; she hadn't fastened herself on him. She was decent about that; if she'd been a different sort, he might have had a nasty time. But Lily was a sport he'd say that for her; she hadn't clawed at him!
You're a friend of the right sort, and I can trust you." "Yeth-'ir, I bin some use to you, onct or twict, I guess." "You'll have a chance to be of use more than ever presently." "Suh, there's gain' to be a bust-up, but I know who's comin' out on the top. That Felix Marchand and his roughs can't down you. I hear and see a lot, and there's two or three things I was goin' to put befo' you; yeth-'ir."
A big bust-up is coming soon, but keep it off till after we are gone. They know their house is built on sand, running out into the river. They want to barricade their own tiny houses for a little. I want to go and search for the big firm land, but they are too comfortable on their cushions and fine linen to dare to move. Oh, prophesy smooth things!" Gordon listened intently to it all.
This is what we call a 'hunter. She has an unbeaten record for speed -can show a clean pair of heels to anything in the air. She has tremendous power; and the way she can climb into the clouds -my word!" "Is she easy to fly?" asked Dicky Mann. "Not bad," was the answer. "The high speed makes for a bust-up once in a while.
None of the glare and glitter of the Boardwalk hotels for me; no, sir! "'What's the name of your place? I asked. "'Hasn't any name just a private cottage; old Southern family, one or two paying guests, you know. They have been coming here for years; never took boarders before, but the head of the house was caught in the Knicknack Trust affair last fall. Funny how many were hurt by that bust-up.
"And if anything happened to me, you'd be saddled with the care of two little children who've got a thoroughly unsatisfactory father, who can always make life hateful for them and for you. No, Peter, it wouldn't be fair we must wait and see how things work out." "At present," Peter said gloomily, "it looks as if things were working out to a fair bust-up all round." This was on the 30th of July.
However, I called to him and he came up from the smoky camp-fire, axe on shoulder. "Yep," he said, squatting beside me; "the Graham Glacier used to meander through that there hole, but somethin' went wrong with the earth's in'ards an' there was a bust-up." "And you saw it, William?" I said, with a sigh of envy. "Hey? Seen it? Sure I seen it!
"If you ask me," said Bertie Oakes, propping himself up in an elegant attitude against a pillar of the Club verandah, "it's my belief that there's going to be a bust-up." "Nobody did ask you," observed Tommy rudely. He generally was rude nowadays, and had been haled before a subalterns' court-martial only the previous evening for that very reason.
"Wanted that eh?" he asked, having himself gulped down a draught. "Let's have another. Now, here we are! My word, what a bust-up! How did it happen? I saw you over there, just outside the hall, and wondered whether you'd do anything. You did eh? Was that your bomb? Tell me about it." Henri scoffed at him scoffed angrily.
