She told me that she had actually been brought up with a feeling of reverence for my father, and particularly for me, by a near relation of hers, old Mr. Kirwan, the President of the Royal Irish Academy, who was a great friend of my father's and puffer of me in early days. Then her acquaintance afterwards with Mr. Nimmo carried on the connection.
What are the normal activities for girls in the home? What are their especial needs? On the various activities of boys see W.A. McKeever, Training the Boy. See the notable report by Breckinridge and Abbott, The Delinquent Child and the Home. On the gregarious instincts see J.A. Puffer, The Boy and His Gang. See the books on manual work given in chap. vii, "Directed Activity."
Locally this contrivance was known as the "puffing devil," or as "Cap'n Dick's Puffer." The next step was to produce an engine running on rails. This was done in 1804, when Trevithick completed a machine which carried ten tons of iron, five wagons, and seventy men for a distance of nine and a half miles, the speed being about five miles an hour.
A distinguished military and political character has challenged the inimitable satirist of the vices of the great; and the puffer is glad to learn that the parties have been bound over to keep the peace. Sometimes it is thought expedient that the puffer should put on a grave face, and utter his panegyric in the form of admonition. "Such attacks on private character cannot be too much condemned.
The train began to move. "I refused once to run away myself, and I've repented it ever since." Then, as the train gathered speed and the distance between us widened, she shouted after us, "But I s'pose if I had run away I'd have repented of that too." Bessie's Doll Tommy Puffer, sauntering up the street, stopped to look at Miss Octavia's geraniums.
"It was you who threw that stone and broke my big scarlet geranium clear off the other day." "It wasn't I never chucked a stone at your flowers," said Tommy. "Don't tell me any falsehoods, Tommy Puffer. It was you. Didn't I catch you firing stones at my cat a dozen times?" "I might have fired 'em at an old cat, but I wouldn't tech a flower," avowed Tommy boldly brazenly, Miss Octavia thought.
It is not because he is insolent or impertinent, or fond of making ridiculous speeches, or a notorious puffer, or ignorant, or mean, or vain, but it is because we see him in a coat, waistcoat, and breeches. The stage is the world of fantasy: it is Queen Mab that has invited us to her revels there, and all that have to do with it should wear motley!
Here were many most interesting fish among them that constant delight of the landsman, the puffer, which, when disturbed, rapidly inflates itself, rising to the surface of the water until it becomes apparently so large a mouthful that its would-be devourer is fooled into believing the morsel too big to swallow. Then, the danger removed, the puffer releases the gulped-down water and swims away.
The admiral, in writing to the secretary of the Admiralty, says "I am afraid of being thought a puffer, like many of my brethren, or I should before have dealt out to the Board the merits of Captain Troubridge, which are very uncommon." The French fleet, of fifteen sail of the line, lay in Toulon, ready to convoy an army to plunge upon the Roman states.
