I told him I was to meet you this evening. 'I should be very glad indeed, said Margaret. 'He would come to see you, said Lady Maud, rather apologetically, 'but he sprained his ankle the other day. He was chivvying a cat that was after the pheasants at Creedmore he's absurdly young, you know and he came down at some hurdles. 'I'm so sorry! Of course I shall be delighted to go.
Seems quite funny not to be chivvying round after the flat-sweepers." He resumed his seat. "Well, you'll find a few of the old lot here: there's the Skipper of course, and Double-O Gerrard d'you remember the A.P.? And little Pills: he's Staff Surgeon now, and no end of a nut... Let's see oh, yes, and young Bowses: he used to be one of our snotties, if you remember.
Ginger came back reluctantly to the main theme. "Well, she came into the office one morning, and we started fooling about..." "Fooling about?" "Well, kind of chivvying each other." "Chivvying?" "At least I was." "You were what?" "Sort of chasing her a bit, you know." Sally regarded this apostle of frivolity with amazement. "What do you mean?" Ginger's embarrassment increased.
And here am I in this God-forsaken hole with nothing to do but to keep an eye on that Ford there. Bhamo is better than this; Mandalay is better than Bhamo, and Rangoon is better than either. Chivvying dakus is paradise compared with this sort of thing. Anyhow, I'm tired of fishing." He began to take his rod to pieces preparatory to returning to his quarters on the hill.
"There go those young devils chivvying that poor little beggar again; ought to be ashamed of theirselves." But, oh! the anguish of the poor little beggar! Can any one who has not been through it imagine it! Reduced to its actualities, what was it? Gibes and jeers that, after all, break no bones. A few pinches, kicks and slaps; at worst a few hard knocks. But the dreading of it beforehand!
"Morning!" said Mr. Mott, fiercely. "Good morning," said the other. "Now, look here," said Mr. Mott. "This has gone far enough, and I won't have any more of it. Why, you ought to be ashamed of yourself, chivvying a young lady that doesn't want you. Haven't you got any pride?" "No," said the young man, "not where she is concerned."
There's a certain type of chap who takes a pleasure in positively chivvying trouble. Old Bill's like that. If I had been alone, it would have taken me about three seconds to persuade myself that I hadn't really heard anything after all. I'm a peaceful sort of cove, and believe in living and letting live, and so forth. To old Bill, however, a visit from burglars was pure jam.
There was smashing in of window and crashing in of door, There was chivvying of weasels that fainted on the floor, When the Toad came home! Bang! go the drums! The trumpeters are tooting and the soldiers are saluting, And the cannon they are shooting and the motor-cars are hooting, As the Hero comes! Shout Hoo-ray!

Rat's particular friend, was in a bad fix; how he had lost his way, and "They" were up and out hunting, and were chivvying him round and round. "Then why didn't any of you DO something?" I asked.
