Each struggled furiously to get at the other, with the result that they were dragged farther apart. Eventually a burly policeman seized Tom by the collar, and held him as in a vice. "Where is he?" Tom cried, craning his neck to catch a glimpse of his enemy. "He'll get away after all." "Can't 'elp that," said the guardian of the peace phlegmatically. "A gen'elman like you ought to be ashamed.
"Poor old mate!" he kept saying. "He'd not ha been the same if things had been different would you, old mate? I wish I'd ha shook hands with you now, I do." A shuddering voice spoke from the boat. It was the broken blockade-man. "Ow much is he dead?" he asked. "Why, dead as dirt," replied a matter-of-fact fellow, chewing his pig-tail phlegmatically.
On hearing my report, Uncle Jim phlegmatically thrust the flexible whip down the hole. "'Coon," he pronounced, after listening to the resultant remarks from within. And then the same bright idea struck us both. "Mrs. Kitty here makes good with those angleworms," Uncle Jim voiced the inspiration. We blocked up the hole securely; and made rapid time back to the ranch.
He lighted a cigar, and with his hands behind his back and his chin in his collar, he continued to the gates. The old care-taker opened and closed the gates phlegmatically. Day by day they came, and one by one they never went out again. To him there was neither joy nor grief; if the grass grew thick and the trees leaved abundantly, that was all he desired.
Will any insult to France put a drop of warm blood into the frigid veins of that miserable Ollivier?" "It is not yet clear that France has been insulted, Messieurs," replied Duplessis, phlegmatically. "Bah! Not insulted! The very nomination of a Hohenzollern to the crown of Spain was an insult what would you have more?"
It transported its great, lumbering bulk with more than railroad speed, and set itself phlegmatically down on whatever spot she glanced at. The quality of Hepzibah's mind was too unmalleable to take new impressions so readily as Clifford's. He had a winged nature; she was rather of the vegetable kind, and could hardly be kept long alive, if drawn up by the roots.
Not only that, but when Hiram drove into the Dickerson dooryard an hour later he had no trouble about recovering the tools which the neighbor had borrowed and failed to return. Pete scowled at him and muttered uncomplimentary remarks; but Sam phlegmatically smoked his pipe and sat watching the young farmer without any comment.
But not Frosty; he drove phlegmatically up so that there was just comfortable space for a man to squeeze between our rig and King's, hopped out, and began unhooking the traces as if there wasn't a soul but us around.
Nobody commented, any more than they would have commented on the fact of mushrooms coming in autumn or snowdrops in spring. They took the piece as phlegmatically as did the actors themselves. It was a phase of cheerfulness which was, as a matter of course, to be passed through every Christmas; and there was no more to be said.
This was indeed disastrous information, and I soon found it to be too true, by going myself below to see the state of affairs. I quickly beat a retreat again on deck, where the ladies and all hands were now assembled. I must do the master the justice to say, that now the danger had actually occurred, he behaved far better than I could have expected. He certainly took things very phlegmatically.
