And she blew in at one end, and blew little Pivi out at the other, like a pea from a pea-shooter. 'Oh! cried the woman, 'what a state you are in! What have you been doing? 'It was Kabo who broke my leg at the slinging game, said Pivi. 'Well, I am sorry for you, said the woman; 'will you come with me, and do what I tell you? 'I will! said Pivi, for the woman was very kind and pretty.
Everything else has failed, and our last chance seems to be for the government to step in; that is, unless Bill Wheaton can do something with the California courts." "I don't count on him. McNamara don't care for California courts no more 'n he would for a boy with a pea-shooter he's got too much pull at headquarters.
He groaned in the spirit, and muttered something to Mrs. Rev. Dr. A about the degeneracy of other people's children, which made that lady chuckle low, under cover of the night; for she knew that her second son John was the pea-shooter, and had made vain efforts to stop him, by pinching his leg, though the good matron could not help laughing at every fine shot achieved by her promising boy.
"See here, you son of an imported Malaga jackass," he said between his teeth, "I'd have you know that I'm related on my mother's side to Carbine, winner of the Melbourne Cup, and where I come from we aren't accustomed to being ridden over roughshod by any parrot-mouthed, pig-headed mule in a pop-gun pea-shooter battery.

In vain did the enemy himself invest in a pea-shooter, and endeavour to answer the fire while he fed the young birds with his other hand; his attention was divided, and his shots flew wild, while every one of theirs told on his face and hands, and drove him into howlings and imprecations. He had been driven to ensconce the nest in a corner of his already too-well-filled den.
"Done nothing, you little vermin!" shouted Slegge. "Who said you had? But you've done something. Now, don't deny it, for I'll half-skin you. You can't deceive me. You have been blowing this lock full of sand and gravel with a pea-shooter." "I haven't, sir; I haven't indeed!" cried the boy.
And the Iron Cross. That's the lot. We'd better git. And they got." "The two British Colossuses, The Tribune says, opened fire with their 300 five-millimetres guns." This is the first we have heard of the new naval pea-shooter. "The war aims to which Germany and Austria must give assent must be expressed in unequivocal language and based on the principles of jujsjtjicjejjjjji."
Very silently the boys each approached a cottage, and inserting their pea-shooter in the keyhole, fired a whole mouthful of peas at the glass face of the old-fashioned eight-day clock, with which each cottage was furnished.
Every one of them knew that Sammy Forbes had in his pocket a pack of cards, which he meant to drop, by wicked but careless design, just when Deacon Pitts led in prayer, and that Tom Drake was master of a concealed pea-shooter, which he had sworn, with all the asseverations held sacred by boys, to use at some dramatic moment.
It made him shudder one with a tiny bullet hole squarely between the eyes, and the others crushed by the blows of the club. His hand fondled Celie's little revolver the pea-shooter he had laughed at. After all it had saved his life. And the club He did not examine too closely there. From the man he had struck with his naked fist he outfitted himself with a hood and temiak, or coat.
