'Stop that wriggling, devilish Jew now then... you wretch! you'd better look out, I'll throttle you! The luckless Girshel was feebly prodding his elbows into Siliavka's chest, and feebly kicking.... His eyes were rolling convulsively.... 'What's the matter? I questioned Siliavka.
Robert Murdock respectively, a silly, flirtatious, little gadfly of a widow; a callow, love-struck, lap-dog, young naval officer, with a budding moustache and a full-blown idea of his own importance; a dour Scotchman of middle age, with a passion for chess, a glowering scorn of frivolities, a deep abiding conviction that Scotland was the only country in the world for a self-respecting human being to dwell in, and that everything outside of the Established Church was foredoomed to flames and sulphur and the perpetual prodding of red-hot pitchforks.
He looked at it fearfully, holding it in his hand and glancing up again at Courtland half helplessly, as if he feared to open it. Then, with that set, stolid look of prodding ahead that characterized all Abner's movements he clumsily tore open the envelope. "Your mother is dying. Come at once," were the terse, cruel words that he read, signed with a neighbor's initials.
The very day his regiment landed in England he got gloriously drunk and it was only by the simple but very certain method of prodding him with the point of a bayonet in the immediate rear that he was kept from falling out of the ranks and going to sleep on the roadside. "I didna know ye were gaun ta march the nicht oor I wudna hae got drunk," he apologized. So it was always. Smith was dirty.
He bit his tongue painfully in covering that slip, but Dryad had not seemed to notice it. She crossed back to the stove and in an absolute silence fell to prodding with a fork beneath steaming lids. "I really should have thought of that myself," she murmured pensively. "After seeing you return from here every afternoon, I should have known he the place had been left in your care."
It takes a great deal to bring a man back down the ages down down to this small, poor, parsimonious life; it takes a great deal. A man is not easily roused, nor brought back; but I am back now, darlings. Excuse me, Briar; no more prodding. Hands off, Pauline. Hands off, Patty. Perhaps I had better tidy myself."
"Gaunt!" said the Viscount dreamily, "Gaunt!" "Captain Slingsby has to see him this afternoon, at least so you said, and I was wondering " "Slingsby! Oh, egad I forgot! so he has, curricle's ordered for half-past three. Will you oblige me by prodding him with your cane, Bev? Don't be afraid, poke away, my dear fellow, Sling takes a devil of a lot of waking."
At the sound of their voices the gryf had bellowed terrifically and started in pursuit even though a river intervened, but by dint of much prodding and beating, Tarzan had succeeded in heading the animal back into the path though thereafter for a long time it was sullen and more intractable than ever.
Nor did any amount of none too gentle prodding on the part of the warder induce him to change his position. "Leave him alone," said Chaufelin curly at last. "I have seen all that I wished to see." The cell was insufferably hot and stuffy. Chauvelin, finical and queasy, turned away with a shudder of disgust. There was nothing to be got now out of a prolonged interview with his captured foe.
Ladies and gentlemen, I am a blooming idiot if that lion did not cower like a whipped dog, put his tail down, and begin to slink away. Quick to see my chance, I jumped up yelling, and made after him, prodding him again. He let out a bellow such as you could imagine would come from an outraged king of beasts. I prodded again, and then he loped off. I found Luki not badly hurt. In fact, he got well.
