They stole the British officer's bottled goods and trafficked unlawfully with the natives for fowls and vegetables to take to the American hospital, rounded up a dangerous band of seven spies operating behind our lines, but made such nuisances of themselves, especially the wild Australian "second looie," that he was ordered back to Archangel.
Uncle John, indeed, did utter something about the pug and the child two such nuisances people bringing their brats into grownup company. At length the procession set out: the Bagshaws, Uncle John, and Jack Richards bringing up the rear in a hackney-coach. On reaching the corner of the street, Mrs. Bagshaw called out to the driver to stop. "What is the matter, dear?" said Bagshaw.
"Then it's two to two," cried Fred, as he finished breakfast, "for I quite agree with Tom, and with that excellent proverb which says: `All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." The captain shook his head as he said: "Of all the nuisances I ever met with in a ship a semi-passenger is the worst.
"Worse than this, they increased very fast and spread everywhere, quarrelling with and driving out the good citizens, who belong to the regular Birdland guilds, taking their homes and making themselves nuisances. The Wise Men protested against bringing these Sparrows, but no one heeded their warning until it was too late.
As to the windows then; I fear we must grumble again. In most decent houses, or what are so called, the windows are much too big, and let in a flood of light in a haphazard and ill-considered way, which the indwellers are forced to obscure again by shutters, blinds, curtains, screens, heavy upholsteries, and such other nuisances.
"What! make Font Abbey a kennel!!! No, Lucy, no, this house is sacred; no nuisances admitted here. Here, on this single spot of earth, reigns comfort, and shall reign unruffled while I live. This is the temple of peace. If I must be worried, I must, but not beneath this hallowed roof." This eloquence, delivered as it was with a sudden solemnity, told upon the mind.
With equal fervor Lord Kenyon inveighed against the pernicious usage of gambling, urging that the hells of St. James's should, be indicted as common nuisances.
The existence of a party, animated by such sentiments, powerful in numbers and organisation, and in the station of some who more or less openly join it owning a qualified allegiance to the constitution of the province professing to regard the Parliament and the Government as nuisances to be tolerated within certain limits only raising itself whenever the fancy seizes it, or the crisis in its judgment demands it, into an 'imperium in imperio, renders it, I fear, extremely doubtful whether the functions of Legislation or of Government can be carried on to advantage in this city.
All rejoiced in the possession of little dolls. "Look at them!" exclaimed Sister Felecitie, gleefully. "We tried the least little ones with other toys: but, bless you, nothing else pleases them so well as dolls. We once tried the little yearlings with rattles, which we thought, it being noisy nuisances, would please them better; but save us!
The country would be tenfold more interesting if it were full of wild, harmless, useful creatures. I hope the time will come when our streams will be again thoroughly stocked with fish, and our wild lands with game. If hawks, foxes, trappers, and other nuisances could be abolished, there would be space on yonder mountains for partridges to flourish by the million.
