"Because he'd lost all his money racing." "What a stupid thing to do!" exclaimed Tom. "The row came during the Easter holidays," went on Jack meditatively, "and there was a fearful dust-up.
"As all things do in our house, it began with Bridget," said Boyd Connoway; "ye see, sorr, she took in a man with a wound powerful sick he was. The night after the 'dust-up' at the Big House was the time, and she nursed him and she cured him, the craitur.
Kirby moved his hand toward the spurs he had taken off and tucked into his shirt for safekeeping to muffle the jingle while they were on scout. "Took 'em away from a Mex officer, personal. Me, I was too young to draw fightin' wages in that theah dust-up." "My father wasn't too young, and he drew his wages permanent.
Some of the books are my brother's, and are quite valuable. She had no right to open any of the cases." "I say she's dotty. She was the one that never got married, you know. Oh, I say, perhaps she thinks your books are wedding-presents to herself. Old maids are taken that way sometimes. Miss Avery hates us all like poison ever since her frightful dust-up with Evie."
"How goes it, old man?" exclaimed Spofforth, the leader of the deputation. "You've something to show for your little dust-up." "I have," admitted Dudley. "A clean puncture through the arm. But what are you fellows doing here? You don't mean to say that the business is over?" "By something I mean the M.C.," continued Jock Spofforth, ignoring Wilmshurst's questions.
Ann shook her head. "You haven't answered my question," she persisted. "Well," admitted Tony unwillingly, "he and I did have a bit of a dust-up this morning. I'm sick of doing nothing. I told him I wanted to be an architect." "Well?" "It was anything but well! He let me have it good and strong. No Brabazon was going to take up planning houses as a profession if he knew it!
If your theory is correct, the motions would be precisely those you suggest, similar to those of a fisherman reeling in a line." "Your simile happens to be exact," said Winter. "While Hilton Fenley and my friend here were having a dust-up in the Quarry Wood I searched his rooms; and among other things I came upon a salmon reel carrying an exceptional quantity of line.
"I shall always keep it. Thanks so much, darlings." After the subsequent embraces, Nancy eyed her with some curiosity. "I say, there was a dust-up," she said. "Have you made it up with father, Cis?" "Don't be a fool," said Joan. "She doesn't want you bothering her. It is quite enough that we're jolly glad to have her back."
"Mudros," continued Doe, refusing to be beaten, "is a harbour in the Isle of Lemnos, which is the island where Jason and the Argonauts landed, and found Hypsipele and the women who had murdered their husbands. Jupiter hurled Vulcan from Heaven, and he fell upon Lemnos. And it's sad to relate that Achilles and Agamemnon had a bit of a dust-up there."
There was petrol, too, enough for a series of flights over a distance of two hundred miles; while to the intense satisfaction of officers and men big Jock Spofforth rejoined the regiment, looking none the worse for his encounter with the lioness, except for the still raw scars on his brawny arms. "Just in time for a dust-up, I find, old man," was his reply to Wilmshurst's greeting.
