"He'd 'a' cuffed the kid ef he da'st, he glared at her that ugly!" "Like to see 'im try it!" responded Johnson through his teeth, with a look to which his blank eye lent mysterious menace. The time soon came, however, when McWha resumed his old seat and his old attitude on the bench. Rosy-Lilly avoided him for two evenings, but on the third the old fascination got the better of her pique.
He 's on the Marshal's staff. He 's engaged to the Countess Lena von Lenkenstein. She has fire enough, my Pericles. 'The Countess Anna, you say? The Greek stretched forward his ear, and was never so near getting it vigorously cuffed. 'Deafness is an unpardonable offence, my dear Pericles. Antonio-Pericles sniffed, and assented, 'It is the stupidity of the ear. 'I said, the Countess Lena.
Their ponchos, long since pulled apart, and the dust cuffed out of them, are to serve for what they really are blankets; a purpose to which at night they are put by all gauchos and most Argentinos as much as they are used during day time for cloak or greatcoat. Each wrapping himself up in his own, all conversation ceases, and sleep is sought with closed eyes.
While unhitching, Old Queen nipped angrily at Bob, who had sniffed at her collar pad, and Silas cuffed her ears. "Whoa, there, you spiteful beast! You'll be wantin' pie that's a leetle better done on th' under crust next. Drat 'er! I could 'a' fit right there, only well you kin allus hit harder with that kind of folks if you don't let yourself git riled. Pore little woman!
The new sights and faces round her, and more than all, Patsy's strange appearance, frightened Alice, who set up such loud screams that Miss Grundy shook her lustily, and then cuffed Patsy, who cried because the baby did, and pulling Mary's hair because she "most knew she felt gritty," she went back to the cheese-tub, muttering something about "Cain's being raised the hull time."
They had greeted his return amongst them with sneers and derisive allusions to his immersion, but with a few choicely-aimed blows he had cuffed the noisiest into silence and a more subservient humour. He had spoken to them in a rasping, truculent tone, issuing orders that he meant should be obeyed, unless the disobeyer were eager for a reckoning with him.
I fleeched him, and I coaxed him, and I endeavoured to divert him, to get him to learn, and I kicked him, and I cuffed him; but I might as weel hae kicked my heel upon the floor, or fleeched the fireplace. Jock was knowledge-proof. All my efforts were o' no avail. I could get him to learn nothing, and to comprehend nothing.
Two women fainted; others cried for their bonnets; others bemoaned their aprons; nothing however deterred Diggs, who kicked and cuffed and cursed in every quarter, and gave none. At last there was a general scream of horror, and a cry of "a boy killed."
When they rose in the morning, a miserable stillness prevailed around them; young voices were not heard laughing eyes turned not on their parents the melody of angry squabbles, as the urchins, in their parents' fancy, cuffed and scratched each other half, or wholly naked among the ashes in the morning, soothed not the yearning hearts of Larry and his wife. No, no; there was none of this.
Dick still held out his hand, scarcely moving a muscle, while Ned called out: "Come away, Dick, that beast'll scratch out your eyes." "Wonder what it would do if I cuffed it?" The Indian appeared to understand this, for he spoke sharply to the lynx, and going up to it patted its head and stroked its body lightly. He then motioned to Dick to do the same.
