"I sent you to Ochori to prevent a massacre, you catch a chief in the act of ambushing an enemy and instead of chucking him straight into the Village of Iron you fine him ten dollars." "Yes, sir," said Bones. There was a painful pause. "Well, you're an ass!" said Hamilton, who could think of nothing better to say. "Yes, sir," said Bones; "I think you're repeating yourself, sir.
Sommers leaned forward and touched Webber, who, with open mouth, was following the figures. Webber turned round, but his head went back to the board. The glance he had given was empty the glance of the drunkard. "Your young friend's got hit," White remarked apathetically. "He shouldn't try to play marbles with this crowd. Carson is just chucking new stocks at the public.
"Thou shalt have gold of another guess-sort," he would cry, chucking her under the chin; "thou shalt have a string of crooked ducats for thy wedding-necklace, my child." His family began really to fear that the poor man's wits were diseased. He muttered in his sleep at night of mines of wealth, of pearls and diamonds and bars of gold.
This, however, rather interrupted Wylie's design of walking in and chucking the two thousand pounds into Nancy's lap. On the contrary, he shoved them deeper down in his pocket, and resolved to see the old gentleman to bed, and then produce his pelf, and fix the wedding-day with Nancy. He came in and found her crying, and Penfold making weak efforts to console her.
Rather dingy villages, these each, after their kind, with a stone wharf thick-grown with weeds; a flouring mill at the head of the landing; a few cheap-looking, battlemented stores; boys and men lounging about with that air of comfortable idling which impresses one as the main characteristic of rustic hamlets, where nobody seems ever to have anything to do; a ferry running to the opposite shore for cattle and wagons, a heavy flat, with railings, made to drift with the current; and for foot passengers, a lumbering skiff, with oars chucking noisily in their roomy locks.
He began to state his objections; then we knew he was ready to yield. We combated him, clinking the supposed gold of coppers in our pockets, or carelessly chucking a tempting half-dollar at some fly on the ceiling. So presently we prevailed, and he retired to make ready. By-and-by a degraded family-carriage came to the door.
Lord bless you, said the Alderman, turning to his friends again, 'you may Put Down anything among this sort of people, if you only know the way to set about it. Trotty took Meg's hand and drew it through his arm. He didn't seem to know what he was doing though. 'Your daughter, eh? said the Alderman, chucking her familiarly under the chin. Always affable with the working classes, Alderman Cute!
Several of the American masters ran out on the jib boom, coveting the temporary security of being so far removed from the seat of the expected explosion, and all was alarm and confusion, until it was ascertained that two of the boys, little skylarking vagabonds, had stolen some pistol cartridges, and had been making lightning, as it is called, by holding a lighted candle between the fingers, and putting some loose powder into the palm of the hand, and then chucking it up into the flame.
If I ever got as far as Capetown I'd drink out what was left there, or I'd blow it some way. But I'd never get so far as Capetown; I'll be honest with you. Yet thanks all the same. You meant kindly. 'That's all right, Home said kindly enough. 'Thanks for being straight. I thought over that first plan of mine last night. I wasn't long in chucking it for a second. The boy listened languidly.
He's using all the bad language he knows, and chucking in German swears where he can't remember the Turkish ones. 'Must be a bit of a facer for him, chuckled Roy. 'There's one of the Turks answering him, said Ken. 'Says we must have jumped over to escape them. 'Oh, that's Kemp again, continued Ken. 'He's telling 'em to go down and see. 'And what's the Turk say? Roy asked eagerly.
