Bernard also had considered it probable that he might be expected to horsewhip the man who had jilted his cousin, and, as regarded the absolute bodily risk, he would not have felt any insuperable objection to undertake the task. But such a piece of work was disagreeable to him in many ways. He hated the idea of a row at his club.
In this mood, with his wrongs sharpened by return to Chagford and his purposes red-hot, John Grimbal now ran against his dearest foe, received the horsewhip from him, and listened to his offer of peace. He still kept silence and Will lowered the half-lifted arm and spoke again. "As you please. I can bide very easy without your gude word."
He walked up and down the room, getting more and more angry with every step he took. "It is infamous the way he has deceived my daughter, infamous! He's a wretch, a villain, and I will tell him so to his face. I'll horsewhip him within an inch of his life." The curé was slowly enjoying a pinch of snuff as he sat beside the baroness, and thinking how he could make peace.
Harold had risen from his seat and stood confronting Rawbon with an air in which anger and contempt were strangely blended. The latter leaned with awkward carelessness against the counter, sipping a glass of spirits and water with a malicious smile. "You are an insolent scoundrel," said Harold, "and I would horsewhip you, if you were worth the pains."
I took up your girl's proposition, that if I didn't head in at our camp, but brought her here, you were to whip her and pay me damages for what she'd done. Me, I didn't propose it. She did." "You gave him your word on that, Jess?" her father asked. "Yes." She dragged out, reluctantly, after a moment: "With a horsewhip." "Then that's the way it'll be.
Pedgift Senior helped himself to a pinch of snuff, and held it calmly in suspense midway between his box and his nose. "You can horsewhip a man, sir; but you can't horsewhip a neighborhood," said the lawyer, in his politely epigrammatic manner. "We will fight our battle, if you please, without borrowing our weapons of the coachman yet a while, at any rate."
"Listen!" he said; "you have been fooled, tricked infamously tricked by these people, and some confederate, whom whom I shall horsewhip if I catch. The whole story is a lie!" "But you looked as if you believed it about the girl," said Cecily; "you acted so strangely. I even thought, Dick, sometimes you had seen HIM."
Out in the darkness Judge Hampden broke forth into such a torrent of rage that his son was afraid for his life and had to devote all his attention to soothing him. He threatened to ride straight to Drayton's house and horsewhip him on the spot.
Godfrey O'Malley, the mild course pursued by that gentleman may possibly be attributed to his suggestion, he begs to assure General Dashwood that the reverse was the case, and that he strenuously counselled the propriety of laying a horsewhip upon the general's shoulders, as a preliminary step in the transaction. "Count Considine's address is No. 16 Kildare Street."
Why break your heart for this fair devil of a daughter, who looks capable, if offended, of anything in the way of revenge, from a horsewhip to slow poison? Are a pair of brown eyes and a coronal of red gold hair worth all this wasted passion?" "But the daughter is the greater catch," urged Ambition.
