"If Henry were only here, or even Charles, he should be horsewhipped, pitched out of the house. To sleep with his dirty clothes on my sofa! I'm glad it's to be sold. I never could touch the filthy thing again. Then his pipe! Good heavens, what is to be done? The abominable wretch! I smell the tobacco now, worse than an Irishman's. The smoke will be all through the house.
Young Ellwell shirked his chance; while his mates were enlisting and leaving college, he slunk away in little sprees, pleading weak health. Mark Ellwell, shamed and mortified, would have horsewhipped his son into the ranks, but the mother defended the weakling. One day young Ellwell announced his marriage to a Salem girl whom he had met the week before.
"What's the 'Express' saying about me?" "I reckon they're throwing off on you all round; they allow you never represented the party, but worked for yourself," said the man shortly. Here the major lashed out. A set of traitors and hirelings! He had bought and paid for them all! He had sunk two thousand dollars in the "Express" and saved the editor from being horsewhipped and jailed for libel!
I never seen the roughness crop up in a man so sudden the way it did in Will. You can imagine, dearie, when the men in the troupe horsewhipped him one night for the way he lit in on me one night in drink. That was the night he quit. O Gawd! maybe I don't look it, dearie, but I been through the mill in my day. But that's all over now, him layin' there my husband.
Now you jest hand him over, and sheer off, you dam young scoundrels! I know ye!" And he became exceedingly opprobrious, and uttered contempt of the name of Feverel. Richard opened his eyes. If you wants to be horsewhipped, you'll stay where y'are!" continued the farmer. "Giles Blaize never stands nonsense!" "Then we'll stay," quoth Richard. "Good! so be't! If you will have't, have't, my men!"
We thought we would play a joke on pa, so the manager told pa that constables were looking for him to arrest him for cruelty to animals, for kicking a camel in the stomach, and hitting the camel with an iron bar, and that if pa didn't want to be publicly horsewhipped on the bare back he better skip out for Washington, D.C., where we would show in a couple of days, and wait for us.
"I was telling Spencer in the automobile," put in Lady Blunt, with ferocity, "that my father would have horsewhipped him if he had been a son of his. He would." "Really, Julia!" protested Lady Jane rather faintly. "That's so. And I don't care who knows it. A boy doesn't want to forget things if he's going to make his way in the world. I told Spencer so in the automobile."
If he hadn't, I believe that we should have horsewhipped him through the town. Three months afterwards his estate was put up for sale, and he has never been down in this part of the country since; not that he was ever here much before. London suited him better.
'You have read the paper? he asked. 'You have horsewhipped the writer? she rejoined. 'Oh! the poor penster! 'Nay, we can't pretend to pity him! 'Could we condescend to offer him satisfaction? 'Would he dare to demand it? 'We will lay the case before Lady Wilts to-night. 'You are there to-night? 'At Lady Denewdney's to-morrow night if I may indulge a hope? 'Both? Oh! bravo, bravo!
For an hour the dull roll of carriages came and went on the drive, and the cheery babel of departing voices broke the still morning air. But two guests left Maxfield that night unexpectedly. One was the soul of a good lady; the other was the horsewhipped body of a bad man.
