"That, indeed," replied Jack "but see, there is a breeze springing up from the westward." "Very true, Mr Easy, and a steady one it will be, for it comes up dark and slow; so much the better for the frigate, for she'll get little honour and plenty of mauling at this work." "I hope we shall take it up with us," observed Jack; "how far do you reckon the gun-boats from the shore?"
The news, however, foreboded ample sport; we now had certain khubber of at least two tigers; we were soon under weigh; the wounded man had been sent back to the Major's head-quarters on an elephant, and in time recovered completely from his mauling. He was wonderfully well informed, considering he had never been out of Nepaul.
The French and German Fleets, though still much superior to the defenders, had during that first awful hour of the assault received a terrible mauling, especially from the large guns of the England and the Scotland sisters of the Britain, and the flagships respectively of the North Sea Squadron and the Home Fleet and the totally unexpected and inexplicable loss of their reserve; but the guns booming to the south-westward could only be those of Admiral Durenne's victorious fleet.
"Your beer may be new, doctor, but your joke is not I have seen it before in some old form." "Well, sir, if I found it in its old form, like a hare, and started it fresh, it may do for folks to run after as well as anything else. But you shan't escape your misdemeanour in mauling those verses as you have done, by finding fault with my joke redevivus.
He was doing it badly, mauling the fine roots in a way that made Mrs. Bradford for once almost energetic in her annoyance. "Don't look! I can't bear to look at our poor hedge," she said, turning her head away. Miss Ethel's glance rested indifferently on the man and the partially destroyed hedge. "What does it matter?" she said, and walked on to the front door.
Then at length, with a piquant little nod of her golden head, she went off, looking, John thought as he watched her retreating figure, about as healthy, graceful, and generally satisfactory a young woman as a man could wish to see. "Take a glass of grog, Captain Niel," said the old man, pushing the square bottle towards him, "you'll need it after the mauling that brute gave you.
If you want to do any kicking, why kick each other, an' I'll help you! But I'll lick the whole bunch of you if you don't quite mauling me. Ain't you got no manners? Don't you know anything? Come 'round waking a feller up an' man-handling " "Get up!" snapped Stevenson, angrily. "Why, ain't I seen you before? Somewhere?
Pipoonaskoos also pulled himself together and looked. Then Muskwa looked at Pipoonaskoos, and Pipoonaskoos looked at Muskwa. The tan-faced cub licked his chops just once, as if torn between the prospective delight of mauling Pipoonaskoos and the more imperative duty of following Thor. The other gave him no choice. With a whimpering yelp he set off after his mother.
"How do you like baching it?" "Oh, don't mention it!" entreated Rob, mauling the dough again. "Come in an' sit down. Why in thunder y' standin' out there for?" "Oh, I'd rather be where I can see the prairie. Great weather!" "Im-mense!" "How goes breaking?" "Tip-top! A leette dry now; but the bulls pull the plow through two acres a day. How's things in Boomtown?" "Oh, same old grind."
In the road they is a big stout road wagon, with a canopy top over it, pulled by two hosses, and on the wagon box they is a strip of canvas. On account of being so busy, neither Hank nor me had hearn the wagon come along the road and stop. The big man in the plug hat, he says, or they was words to that effect, jest as serious: "Why are you mauling the aged gent?"
