And the old man peered hopefully up to see the result of his shot, and rubbed his eyes. For the hulking dief was standing, voor den donder! standing as he emptied his magazine, and the bullets sang about Father Noah as viciously as hornets roused to anger by the stripping of a decayed thatch.
If she had a snivelling fancy for the dandy swell who had made love to her and kissed her, he would threaten to tell the fellow the truth unless she gave him up. Or he would blow on her to the nuns she lived with, and they would have nothing more to do with her. Voor den donder! suppose they knew already? The plan wanted careful working out.
First there was a park filled with reindeer, and beyond that was the town, and at one side a large farm-yard filled with animals of all sorts. "But as Santa Claus seemed in a hurry I did not stop long to look. Our path led through the park, and we stopped to call 'Prancer' and 'Dancer' and 'Donder' and 'Blitzen, and Santa Claus fed them with lumps of sugar from his pocket.
The Slabberts was striking a match of the fizzling, spluttering, Swedish-made non-safety kind, known to W. Keyse and his circle by the familiar abbreviation of "stinkers." "Voor den donder!

She has toes on her heels and eyes in the back of her head! See her! It will be a joke if she gets in the race and beats Katrinka Flack, after all." "Hush! not so loud!" returned Carl, rather sneeringly.
The chrysalis rolled over, but made no other sign. "Up, boys!" cried Peter, never budging. "Ludwig! Lambert! Donder! Are you all dead?" Dead? Not they!
