Married a poor woman and pretty; wife made me jealous had learned to suspect every one. Alice born did not believe her mine: not like me perhaps a gentleman's child. I hate I loathe gentlemen. Got drunk one night kicked my wife in the stomach three weeks after her confinement. Wife died tried for my life got off.

It is true; he kicked him downstairs. Not insultingly, or with bad feeling, but in a moment of emotional insanity, as the defense would say. This was an extenuating circumstance, and excuses Flannery, but the professor, being a foreigner, could not see the fine point of the distinction, and was angry. That night the professor did not sleep in Westcote, but the next afternoon he appeared at Mrs.

I really was wondering then whether to pick it up or fall on it, but figured that it was harder to fall on it than to pick it up, so I put on all the steam I had and started for the goal. Howard Henry was right behind me until I got near the goal post. After I had kicked the goal the score was 6 to 6. Never can I forget the fierce playing on the part of both teams that now took place.

The towel-rack was empty just when he wanted his bath, and his bedroom slippers were always kicked so far under the bed that he was obliged to crawl on all fours to reach them. Then his loving spouse was sure to want to be "cuddled" when he was smoking his cigar and reading, a triple occupation only possible to a human freak, with three arms, four eyes, and two mouths.

He said Redruth was a fine young man, but when you kicked him on the pocket all you could hear jingle was a cuff-fastener and a bunch of keys. He was engaged to this young lady Miss Alice something was her name; I've forgot. This man said she was the kind of girl you like to have reach across you in a car to pay the fare.

Answer me now, as one gentleman to another. Do ye shoot foxes or do ye not?" And four years before Stalky and Beetle had carefully kicked McTurk out of his Irish dialect! Assuredly he had gone mad or taken a sunstroke, and as assuredly he would be slain once by the old gentleman and once by the Head. A public licking for the throe was the least they could expect.

I was fond of one, ever since I was knee high to a goose, or could recollect any thin' amost; I have got into a horrid sight of scrapes by 'em, that's a fact. I never forgot that lesson though, it was kicked into me: and lessons that are larnt on the right eend, ain't never forgot amost. I have "aimed high" ever since, and see where I be now.

They were no longer a people to be kicked and cuffed and ordered about by the shoneens and squireens of the district: they became a very worthy class, indeed, to be courted and flattered at election times and wheedled with all sorts of fair promises of what would be done for them.

And there was her Majesty, sitting a little apart in a chair by herself, with the Secretary poor rat white-faced at the table, writing what she bade him, and looking at her, quick and side-ways, like a child at a lifted rod; and there was her Grace: she had kicked her stool over, and one shoe had fallen; and she was striking the arm of her chair as she spoke, and her rings rapped as loud as a drunken watchman.

Such is life. Thompson and Cooper, now ready for the road, were repairing the fence as well as they could. This being done, and the relics of the fire kicked about, they put their teams in motion, leaving little trace of the camp, except Bum's mare, standing asleep outside the fence.
