But, allowing ample time for her to dispose of my best lingerie and of her unavoidable lamentations, I ought to make the six-forty-five. I have noticed that one usually does somehow," said Mrs. Pendomer, and seemed to smack of allegories. And yet it may have been because she knew as who knew better? something of that mischief's nature which was now afoot.
He would have poisoned him if he had had the courage; but he dared not: he dared not even look at him as he sat there, the master of the house, in insolent triumph. O God! how the lad's brutal laughter rung in Hayes's ears; and how the stare of his fierce bold black eyes pursued him! Of a truth, if Mr. Wood loved mischief, as he did, honestly and purely for mischief's sake, he had enough here.
Dressings were then applied; repeated and repeated again; but still the sick man lay in a deep stupor. "It has done no good; hadn't we better send for the doctor?" suggested the wife. Just then the eyes of H opened, and he looked with half-stupid surprise from face to face of the anxious group that surrounded the bed. "What in the mischief's the matter?" he at length said.
The mischief's in the air, and nowhere else. I felt it run through me coming down last night, and smelt it like any sewer: and if it was not in the air, why was my boat's crew taken first, tell me that?" There was no answer.
"I took that preacher-fellow 'pon the ground hop, as I thought, and stopped his nonsense; but something whispered to me that 'twas a false hope. Evil communications corrupt good manners, and now the mischief's done. There's no peace for Saltash till you men learn your place again, and I'm resolved to teach it to 'ee. You want to know how?
And to Nais she turned with a cruel smile. "You lied to me, my girl, and you spoke truth to the soldiers in the harbour forts. There is a man here in the city you came after, and he is the one man you may not have. Because you know me well, and my methods very thoroughly, your love for him must be very deep, or you would not have come. And so, being here, you shall be put beyond mischief's reach.
"I am Frank Bryerly," replied the man: "hold your hands, hold your hands every one, and let us see what mischief's done! Dick Harrison, I believe, is down. Devilish unfortunate, Sherbrooke, that you did not speak." "Speak!" returned Sherbrooke, "what should I speak for? these are not times for speaking over much."
"If you tell that I kill you!" she said softly. Joe leaned back. "Pooh! You can't scare a man with threats like that. After I tell the mischief's done, anyhow." "I will kill you!" she said again. Joe laughed. "I'll take my chance of it." Hitting out at random, he said: "I'll bet it was you scared the white woman into fits!" To save herself Bela could not help betraying it in her face.
"Would it be any use, grandpa, for me to jump down and run and tell them you don't want them to take the butternuts? I shall have so few." "No, dear, no," said her grandfather, "they have got 'em about all by this time; the mischief's done. Didenhover meant to let 'em have 'em unknown to me, and pocket the pay himself. Get up!"
"Loving Nephew, I doubt not but you will be rejoiced to hear of my welfare; and well you may, considering what a kind uncle I have been to you in the days of your youth, and how little you deserved any such thing; for yet, was always a graceless young man, given to wicked courses and bad company, whereby you would have come to a shameful end, had it not been for my care in sending you out of mischief's way.
