Do you think y'r beasts will stand crossing before sunset?" "It's about as easy going ahead as standing still. If we only had a water canteen, it wouldn't be such a fool-thing to risk." The wind flayed them with hot peppering sand. "If we took time to go back for one now, this wind would wipe out the tracks." "What's yon splash o' dust goin' over the roll o' th' hill?"
"You think it will come right?" he said, looking at me in a terribly perplexed way. "Oh yes, I think so," I said; "Mr Denning and Mr Frewen will give the rascals a good peppering and bring them to their senses." "And so will I!" he cried excitedly. "I never tried to fight seriously since I left school, but I don't see why I shouldn't be able to if I tried, do you?"
He saw the spiral of the descending roadway, the steep crags, the clinging bushes, the peppering of snow-wreaths, and far down in the bottom, the diminished crane. Here, no doubt, was a way to end it. But it somehow did not take his fancy.
"Both barrels in the bargain, Joseph, mind you!" added Lil Artha, still burning with indignation as he recollected how they had seen the beast cuff poor Hen; and perhaps deep down in his boyish heart actually hoping the other might take a notion to try and get away, when they would be justified in peppering him, after he had run possibly thirty or forty yards. "Oh!
I had always abhorred preaching, and here to preach I used a method of inversion, peppering my argument with platitudes on war as a needed discipline for the spiritual in man by its lessons in fortitude and self-sacrifice, and on the softening influences of peace.
"Oh, I say!" protested the Glee Club man, uneasily, for Grind was on the Committee; "don't be too hard on me." Miss Meiggs, peppering her rarebit deliberately, interrupted, with a little toss of the head. "I will ask Mr. Chase one question then." She gathered some of the cheese upon her fork, and, balancing it midway to her mouth, went on with a gloating clearness of enunciation.
"And I'm so hungry that I feel like a dog with a bone," snapped the major. "I won't give 'em up without a fight. Come in here, my boy, and I'll have a good try for it. We've plenty of ammunition, and perhaps a peppering with small-shot will scare the blackguards away."
We see him bathing in perfumes, sailing ships in wine, feeding horses on grapes and lions on parrots, peppering fish with pearls, wearing gems on the soles of his feet, strewing his floor with gold-dust, paving the public streets with precious marbles, driving teams of stags, scorning to eat fish by the seaside, deploring his lot that he has never yet been able to dine on a phoenix.
In an instant, as Jack gave the order, up sprang his men, out went their oars, and away after the brig they pulled. The character of the brig was soon shown, for no sooner did her crew see that they were pursued than they began peppering away at the gig, while a gun was run out at a port on her quarter, which opened a fire of round and grape-shot.
All the cutter's guns were peppering at us; a shot or two went through our sails, one shot knocked a splinter from our fiferail. "They shoot a treat, don't they?" said Marah. "Another minute and they will be knocking away a spar."
