Something rustled in the bushes in front of us, and I advanced the theory that it was possibly a weasel, and she said it might be. But it was plain that the girl was distraite, and I considered it best to waste no more time. "Well, old thing," I said, "I've heard all about your little dust-up So those wedding bells are not going to ring out, what?" "No." "Definitely over, is it?" "Yes."
Borden exclaimed. "It's six years since we had any sort of a dust-up, and my majority was the smallest of the lot of you, last election. Something's got to be done down my way. My chaps won't go paying in and paying in forever. We've fifty-nine thousand pounds waiting, and the condition of our girl labour is beastly." "Iron comes next," Weavel persisted stolidly.
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."
"But I am going when the army reorganises; mother and father have promised it." "There wasn't much fun in it," said Dan, soberly. "It was real hard fighting from start to finish. The fellows who went in for a mere dust-up got left." "Oh, I know war is no play, Dan. But I mean to do my duty by Texas, and that is all there is to it," concluded Henry Parker.
Greve here having a bit of a dust-up about the young lady being engaged to Mr. Parrish?" "Well, perhaps I did, but...." Like a flash the detective turned on Robin. "What do you know about this?" he demanded fiercely. "Nothing," said Greve. "As I have told you already, I did not see Mr. Parrish alive again after lunch, nor did I speak to him.
I think she must have observed that I was bitter, for she at last spoke quite amiably of our morning's dust-up. "You certainly got my goat," she said in the quaint American fashion, "telling me little No-no was too fat. You had me going there for a minute, thinking you meant it!"
"There would be a terrible dust-up," smirked Winter. "Possibly; but it would be a fight for life or death. No half measures. A matter of decanters, fire-irons, chairs. Let us return to the hotel." Whilst Hume went to summon the others, Brett seated himself at a table and wrote: "A curious chapter of accidents happened in Northumberland Avenue yesterday. Early in the morning, Mr.
Well, now, you'll bear in mind that there was a bit of a dust-up when the thing was over some on 'em cheering the Squire and some on 'em grousing about the verdict, and between one and t'other I popped out and off, and you yourself saw me making for the moors.
Why, Oleron himself had had a dust-up with him about something or other ... some girl or other ... Elsie Bengough her name was, he remembered.... Oleron had moments of deep uneasiness about this Elsie Bengough. Or rather, he was not so much uneasy about her as restless about the things she did.
Any day now," he proceeded, warming as he spoke, "there may be the dickens of a dust-up between these Johnnies, and then we've got 'em where the hair's short. See what I mean, you chaps? It's like this. Any moment they may start scrapping and chaw each other up, and then we'll simply sail in and knock what's left endways." A shout of applause went up from the assembled scouts.
