You needn't touch my proposition, you needn't even listen to it, but, hear me, you talk civil!" As Harrah arose Bruce took a step closer and looked at him squarely. A lurking imp sprang to life in Harrah's vivid eyes, a dare-devil look which found its counterpart in Bruce's own. "I believe you think you're a better man than I am." "I can lick you any jump in the road," Bruce answered promptly.
From Northamptonshire Hopkins's course led him into Huntingdonshire, a county that seems to have been untroubled by witch alarms since the Warboys affair of 1593. The justices of the peace took up the quest eagerly. The evidence that they gathered had but little that was unusual. Mary Chandler had despatched her imp, Beelzebub, to injure a neighbor who had failed to invite her to a party.
Thus Master Milo, and his eyes were guileless as an angel's, but his buttons ! "Hum!" said Barnabas, rubbing his chin. "But how did you get in, Imp?" "Froo de winder, sir, I did. An' I 've come to tell you 'is Ludship's compliments, and 'e's a-comin' along wiv 'er, 'e is." "With whom?" "Wiv my lady 'er." "What lady?" "Wiv 'is Ludship's lady, 'is Vi-coun-tess, 'er."
The critics were unanimous in the belief that it would take its place with those two classics by two great writers, "The Bottle Imp" and "The Magic Skin." The public, however, received the "Smoke of Joy" collection rather dubiously and coldly.
Whereat he shook with laughter and patted her back as she clung to him. "Promise me, Red," she begged, lifting her head, "that you won't let anything anything keep you from going off with Ellen in the Imp. She's been so lovely about this horrid delay, but I'm always suspicious of you. Promise!"
All these had been conquered, or at least partially reduced to subjection, but the imp who sat on the saddle pommel when there was a ditch or stream to be jumped had hitherto obliged me to dismount and get over the space on foot. This morning, when we came to a nasty boggy place, with several small water cuts running through it, I obeyed the imp with reluctance.
In season out of season, upstairs down-stairs, even in the breakfast and the dinner chambers, this young imp poked clumsy splinters worse than thorns, because so dull into the tender poetic side; and people, who laugh at the less wit the better, laughed very kindly, to please the boy, without asking whether they vexed the man. And the worst of it was that the author too must laugh.
"Now swing the corner, lady! All circle to the left." "Get up!" the driver shrilled. "Get up, now, Duke, you imp!" And the leader, balking suspiciously at the explosive machine, felt a smart touch of the whip. He plunged, sidled against the bluff and broke by.
Durdles may be stoned home having struck, he had some expectation of seeing the Imp who is appointed to the mission of stoning him. In effect, that Power of Evil is abroad. Having nothing living to stone at the moment, he is discovered by Mr. Datchery in the unholy office of stoning the dead, through the railings of the churchyard.
All at once around the end of the pier, a dark, tall shadow like a spook swept silently out before him. He sprang back and fervently crossed himself, then grinned and drew on his cigarette hard. For the shadow was only a scow with a derrick. The imp continued his watching. "Now," said J. K. a few minutes later back on shore, "you want to get their hours and wages.
