Poor Tommy Bigg, too, got more knocked about than ever. My blood used to boil as I saw the poor friendless little fellow kicked, and cuffed, and rope's-ended without mercy, day after day, and more than once I felt inclined to rush to his rescue, and to tell his tyrants what cruel brutes they were. In vain Mr Henley expostulated with Mr Grimes. He got only abused in return.
He thrust out his palm in a wild gesture. "Keep away from me! I'll split your heart if you touch me!" Morris advanced another step, his eyes looking straight into Miner's with the level look of a tiger's. "No, y' won't! You're too much of an infernal, sneaky little whelp!" At the word whelp, he cuffed him with his hammerlike fist, and Miner went down in a heap.
"Dogs," said the Major, "invariably are nuisances." "Not invariably," declared Patsy. "Mumbles is different. Mumbles is a good doggie, and wise and knowing, although he's only a baby dog yet. And I just couldn't leave him to be cuffed and kicked and thrown around by those brutes. When the man found I was determined to have Mumbles he demanded twenty-five dollars." "Twenty-five dollars!"
His pack animal being slow he started to climb a tree; but before he could get far enough up she caught him, almost biting a piece out of the calf of his leg, pulled him down, bit and cuffed him two or three times, and then went on her way.
To be knocked down, cuffed, kicked, dragged along the floor! Sacred heaven, the memory of such a treatment was not to be endured! No future lustration could ever remove the stain: and, what was perhaps still worse in the present case, the offender having ceased to exist, the lustration which the laws of knight-errantry prescribe was rendered impossible.
I gained it, you see, sir, with the first wink of my eye; and though I lost a great portion of it by sea-sickness in the Mediterranean, nevertheless, since I served your Lordship, I have resumed my old habits, and do opine that this vain globe is but a large football to be kicked and cuffed about by moody philosophers!" "You must have seen a great deal in your life, Essper," said Vivian.
He is a public nuisance, is he not? 'Yes, sir. 'A convicted liar? 'Yes, sir. 'He has been kicked, and cuffed, and caned? 'Yes, sir. 'And he is utterly dishonourable, debased, and profligate? 'Yes, sir. 'In the name of wonder, then, what is his merit? 'Well, sir, he is a smart man.
"Yes," replied the father. "Then she is bad." He brought the words out with such force and emphasis that they sounded like the crack of a whip. The old man cuffed him twice. "Is it your mother you are speaking of?" The boy stood his ground, without change of expression, but said nothing. The youngest child spoke, for the first time. "My mother will not come back, but she will die dancing."
They make much better soldiers than white men, that's the long and short of it." "How can you explain that? It's most surprising!" cried Sam. "Well, they're more impressible, for one thing. You can work them up into any kind of passion you want to. Then they're more submissive to discipline; they're used to being ordered about and kicked and cuffed, and they don't mind it.
His tiny, cringing body irritated her though extremely when she was not using him for effect, and he was often kicked and cuffed out of her way. He showed evident fear of her and ran from her always, so that when she wanted to make a picture with him, she was obliged to carry him in her arms. Verisschenzko raised one bushy eyebrow, and a sardonic smile came into his eyes.
