"You're worth three men," said the storekeeper. "Got light boots?" "Yes," said the girl, thrilled and quivering. "You run git 'em!" said Mrs. Bates, "and git your good lantern. I'll be gitting another lantern, and some whiskey. Poor little fellers! I hope to God they're all sneakin' home afraid of a lickin'! this very minute.
I don't want to see him not just now. But you do what you think is best about this matter, and make Peter pay the bill ten dollars for the two stacks of fodder." "He shall do it, Mr. Strong," declared Sam Dickerson, warmly. "And he shall beg your pardon, too, or I'll larrup him until he can't stand. He's too big for a lickin', but he ain't too big for me to lick!"
Small pushed past them in his cool, deliberate way, and mounted his horse. Ralph bade Hannah good-night, having entirely forgotten the errand which had been his excuse to himself for coming out of his way. He hastened to his new home, the house of Mr. Pete Jones, the same who believed in the inseparableness of "lickin' and larnin'." "You're a purty gal, a'n't you? You're a purty gal, a'n't you?
"They're both out there," said the woman, pointing with the hand holding the dish-towel, to the dilapidated woodshed. "He's gittin' a lickin', and Pa's a-givin' it." The squeals were now so much worse that Joel gave a plunge that carried him to the woodshed door, and little David, his heart in his mouth at thought of Jim's father, followed as best he could. Joel dashed in.
"None," said Archie B., as he put his two pieces of gold under his pillow. "I can't see why that was," wailed Ozzie B. "I done nothin' an' an' got all all the lickin'!" "You jes' reaped my whirlwind," sneered his brother "All fools do!" But later he felt so sorry for poor Ozzie B. because he could not lie on his back at all, that he gave him one of his beautiful coins to go to sleep.
"I know it, but from the straight-lacedness of your theology I want a vacation, Lanky, just for the space that it takes to get a lickin' wan way or th' other." So the thing began. My chief endeavour was to escape punishment, but the space was exceedingly small between the two big guns and I didn't succeed very well. During the first five minutes I was very badly bruised and beaten.
"Go it, long legs!" said another, who backed the opposite party. "Give him a good lickin' when you catch him." "Maybe you'd have to wait too long for that," said Pat. "Leave yer cigar wid us, mister," said another boy.
He looked stealthily at his companions, feeling sure that they must discern in his face evidences of this pursuit. But they were plodding in ragged array, discussing with quick tongues the accomplishments of the late battle. "Oh, if a man should come up an' ask me, I'd say we got a dum good lickin'." "Lickin' in yer eye! We ain't licked, sonny.
But that's how 'twould be, an' he'd all'ays be a jawing and a lickin' of I; so don't mind me, Miss Maud, and 'appen I might do ye a good turn some day. A few days after this little interview with Meg, as Milly and I were walking briskly for it was a clear frosty day along the pleasant slopes of the sheep-walk, we were overtaken by Dudley Ruthyn. It was not a pleasant surprise.
The first drink he made me take I cried all night at home, and got a lickin' for makin' a noise. And now say, Tommy, you ever see this Annie Karlson? If it wasn't for peroxide the chloroform limit would have put her out long ago. Oh, I'm lookin' for 'm. You tell the Kid if he comes in. Me? I'll cut his heart out. Leave it to me. Another whiskey, Tommy."
