He had heard peasant-proprietors described as a pig-headed lot; had heard young Mont call his father a pig-headed Morning Poster disrespectful young devil. Well, there were worse things than being pig-headed or reading The Morning Post. There was Profond and his tribe, and all these Labour chaps, and loud-mouthed politicians, and "wild, wild women"! A lot of worse things!
"He's a loud-mouthed one, he is, and they're never much good. Give me a pleasant-spoken chap, if you want a devil!" "Well, Paul, my lad," said the friend, "you'll have to take care of yourself now for a while." "You won't have to give him a chance over you, that's all," said the barmaid. "Can you box?" asked a friend. "Not a bit," he answered, still very white.

Suddenly William ran in, saying: "Can I have my tea, mother?" "Tha can ha'e more than that!" shouted Morel. "Hold your noise, man," said Mrs. Morel; "and don't look so ridiculous."

They were fanatics of the most extravagant and incorrigible sort; loud-mouthed, frantic and disorderly; and instead of observing modesty in their garb, their women not seldom ran naked through the streets of horrified Boston, in broad daylight. They thirsted for persecution as ordinary persons do for wealth or fame, and would not be satisfied till they had provoked punishment.
A few days previously I had shot one loud-mouthed singer and suspended his carcass in terrorem about fifty yards from my tent-door. But his friends fell upon, fought for, and ultimately devoured the body; and, as it seemed to me, sang their hymns of thanksgiving afterward with renewed energy. The light-heartedness which accompanies fever acts differently on different men.

"What's the matter with your trade?" said Spiveycomb, the paper-maker. "Well; we ain't got no jobs in it; that's the matter," said Mr. Pile. "As for jobs, what's the odds?" said a big and burly loud-mouthed tanner.
