"I am glad it is you and not I who is to deal with these clod-hoppers. I should turn sour or laugh myself to death." "Getting tired of it already, Della?" "Dreadfully tired, Gary. If I could see one interesting person, or a good-looking man with whom I could flirt " "Don't forget our engagement, Della," warned Warden. She laughed, shooting a mischievous glance at him.
Here was Leviathan, no longer afraid of the daggers of English cavaliers or French clergy, but "frightened from his propriety" by a row in an ale-house between some honest clod-hoppers of Derbyshire, whom his own gaunt scare-crow of a person that belonged to quite another century, would have frightened out of their wits. Malebranche, it will give you pleasure to hear, was murdered.
'But, Cherry, ain't I a walking Sahara with roaring at the tiptop of my voice to lead the clod-hoppers? How they did bellow! 'One comfort is, nobody knows your coolness. Nobody comes for all your ringing. 'Reason good! Every living soul in the house is in the Bishop's meadow, barring the old cat; I seen 'em with their cap-strings flying. But that's nothing.
The sick man looked at Angela with awful, unseeing eyes, and then burst into a wild laugh "See them run, the crop-headed clod-hoppers!" he cried. "Ride after them mow them down scatter the rebel clot-pols! The day is ours!"
The July sun streamed in at the window and the open door and cast its hot flames onto the uneven brown clay floor, which had been stamped down by four generations of clod-hoppers. The smell of the fields came in also, driven by the sharp wind, and parched by the noontide heat.
Three powerful teams stood before the door. They were hitched to sleds, or clod-hoppers, which were nothing more than wagon-beds fastened on wooden runners. A chorus of merry shouts greeted Col. Zane as he appeared in the doorway. "All right! all right! Here she is," he cried, as Betty ran down the steps. The Colonel bundled her in a buffalo robe in a corner of the foremost sled.
In a lot close by cricketers are at play, and a little farther on, where there is a vine-covered beerhouse, a crowd of clod-hoppers are gathered in a green field, looking at two of their number engaged in a rough-and-tumble fight in their shirt-sleeves.
"I don't believe he would." "Well, I know he would; and you must at least allow me to know more about him than you do. And so I ask you whether it is common-sense to tell him what's going to happen, for the sake of a few clod-hoppers, who matter to nobody, or " "But, but, how long is it to go on? Why do you shrink from doing now what you wanted to do at first?" "I don't shrink from it at all.
"Come for a long walk, Liggy," remarked Dam as they met, using an ancient pet-name. "Right-O, my son," was the reply. "But we must start off mildly. I have a lovely feeling of too much cake. Too good to waste. Wait here while I put on my clod-hoppers."
I carried away hens and rabbits in my bag; I drove sheep and pigs, cows, and oxen before me. To-day these clod-hoppers keep a good guard; they sit up at night. Just now I was pursued in the village of Anis by doughty labourers armed with flails and scythes and pitchforks. I had to drop the hens and rabbits, put my tail under my arm, and run as fast as I could.
