You'll have it all in a crash. Jabber, smash, bother! You'll have the worst of the pother. Smash, bother, jabber! Here Curdie stopped, either because he could not find a rhyme to 'jabber', or because he remembered what he had forgotten when he woke up at the sound of Irene's labours, that his plan was to make the goblins think he was getting weak.

They went away, I suppose, next morning; jointly or singly; singly, I imagine. They made, however, a prolonged stay in my young memory, and would have done so even had I not had that tangible memento of them. Who were they, those two of whom that one strange glimpse had befallen me? What, I wondered, was the previous history of each? What, in particular, had all that tragic pother been about?

So long as he is physically imprisoned in crowds by day and even by night his attention will flicker and relax. It will not hold fast and define clearly where he is the victim of all sorts of pother, in a home which needs to be ventilated of its welter of drudgery, shrieking children, raucous assertions, indigestible food, bad air, and suffocating ornament.

Why not wait and decide at the last minute?" She waved her hands airily. "What a pother!" she cried. "What does it matter whether poor little Alice Adams goes to a dance or not?" "Well, I thought I'd made it clear that it looks fairly bleak to me if you don't go." "Oh, yes!" she jeered. "It's the simple truth," he insisted.

In most places when a bridge has to be made, there is an infinite pother and worry about building the piers, coffer-dams, and heaven knows what else.

Peril is better than pother."

Did anyone look over the sea?" he continued. No, we had all been too much engaged. Captain. "Then the first thing I shall do on the dawn will be to scan the sea. Something unusual must have occurred to put the pirates to all this pother."

I say Shakespeare, but I'm well aware all don't 'old with me there I 'ad something of an upset the other day when a gentleman came in a titled man, too, he was, and I think he told me he'd wrote on the topic, and I 'appened to cite out something about 'Ercules and the painted cloth. Dear me, you never see such a pother.

And thus Sir Terence O'Moy found sanctuary at the altar of his country's need.
