Byles looked up to see three armed keepers commanding their helpless party, and one of them purple with rage. "I hope we don't intrude; maybe we could give you a hand in catchin' the birds, and if a spring-cart would be of ony use ... confound your cheek! "Gathering flowers, are ye, and gave the pheasants a biscuit, did ye, and the boys thought they would like to stroke one, would they?
"I want to be alone, I must be alone, I'm safest when I'm quite alone." Then he sighed again, and his swollen eyes glimmered as he cast a restless look around. The schoolmaster sighed too; dear, dear, the man was quite out of his mind. It must be true what they were saying in Starawieś, that Becker had become Mrs. Tiralla's lover. Confound it! "May I offer you my arm, Mr.
Musical comedy?" "No. Ordinary comedy." "I shouldn't mind putting on a comedy soon. I must have a look at it. Come and have a bit of lunch." One of the firemen came up, carrying a card. "Hullo, what's this? Oh, confound the feller! He's always coming here. Look here: tell him that I'm just gone out to lunch, but can see him at three. Come along, old boy."
"Why are you coming to court her?" "Because I understand she will have a good fortune after old Cockle takes his departure." "Eh, confound me, but that's odd; why, you are a devilish queer fellow. Did you ever see Lord Cockletown?" "Not I," replied Harry; "nor I don't care a curse whether I do or not, provided I had his niece secure." "Did you ever see the niece?" "Don't annoy me, sirrah.

When it was all smooth sailing, and nothing to do, and the fellow might have got an extra drop on board, which nobody would have cared for, he's as sober as a judge; but, whenever there's anything to do, that wants a little cleverness, confound him, he ships rum enough to float a seventy-four." "Are you going to stand anything to drink," said Jack, "my old buffer?
An agonized squeak came from under his foot, and he felt something small and soft flatten out, like a wad of dough. He jumped back. An exclamation broke from his lips. It was unpleasant, though the soft thing was nothing more than a mouse. "Confound it!" he said. Father Roland was listening to the slow, pendulum-like thud, thud, thud, against the logs of the cabin.
"He was on the train, and came in at once to offer his services. Grimes says he was invaluable." "But Mr. Hayne was East on leave: I know he was. He was promoted to my company last month, confound the luck! and was to have six months' leave before joining. I wish it was six years. Where is he now?" And the captain peered excitedly around from under his shaggy cap. Oddly, too, his face was paling.
Nothing can be more unjust than to confound these outpourings of a kind heart, sure of perfect sympathy, with the egotism of a blue-stocking, who prates to all who come near her about her own novel or her own volume of sonnets. It was natural that the triumphant issue of Miss Burney's first venture should tempt her to try a second.
