A march would take place on the fifteenth of that month, the Europeans would be assassinated, their houses would be burned and looted so ran the rumor. By this date, for two days' march in all directions from Chao-t'ong, the rebels had camped, and a motley crowd they were Mohammendans, Chinese, I-pien, Hua Miao, and other hooligans.
It was plainly not only, nor even chiefly, the hooligans she feared, but the amazéd eye of some acquaintance. Bad enough to meet Henderson's! 'Jump in! she said hastily to the girl, and then, 'Go on! she called out desperately, flying in after Ernestine and slamming the door. 'Drive fast! She thrust her head through the window to add, 'Anywhere! And she sank back. 'How dreadful that was!
"Quite right, James," he replied; "and exercise, as I often tell my boys, is essential." "What boys?" I asked. "My club boys," said Hatton. "They belong to the most dingy quarter of the whole of London South Lambeth. They are not hooligans. They are not so interesting as that. They represent the class of youth that is a stratum or two above hooliganism. Frightful weeds.

It was jolly plucky of you to stand your ground with those hooligans from the mine." "But I didn't stand my ground," she pointed out. "I went over. It was a most undignified proceeding, wasn't it?"
