She was a pretty girl, slim but strong enough to push a barrow full of fish or gear through the loose sand on the downs, but she was wild and had plenty to say for herself. When she had had a sweetheart for a short time, she always ended by quarreling with him. The two old people were deaf, and always came outside to quarrel as if they needed air.
Only 'a fine designer, indeed! It's a good thing you admit that much at least. Well, but what's the use quarreling? I am here as a friend, not to make threats. That's not in my nature." She gave me a propitiating look, and paused for my reply. "What do you mean, Mrs. Chaikin?" I asked, with an air of complaisant perplexity "'What do you mean?" she mocked me, suavely.
He stared into the blackness, his mind a moving picture show of the last three days. The Englishman was chief actor on this stage, and his disagreeably mixed character puzzled and disturbed the American. Caradoc's language and manners showed him to be a man of breeding, but he was full of contradictory habits. His uncosmopolitan moodiness, his vulgar quarreling over cards, were typical instances.
The goblin flew, and in an instant he was by their side. He found the villains in a deadly fight, quarreling for the maids; but seeing him they ceased to wrestle, upon which he said, "I risked my life to bring away these girls; I would have given each of you a wife: for doing this you would have murdered me.
With their expectations, it is not to be wondered at that they were still further annoyed by the quarreling amongst the colonists themselves, and wished to begin over again. A new charter, dated May 23, 1609, with enlarged powers, was got from King James. Hundreds of corporators were named, and even thousands were included in the various London trades and guilds that were joined in the enterprise.
A number of quarreling letters followed, after which the correspondence came to an end. One of Casanova's last letters, that of the 2nd February 1794, concludes: "One day M. de Bragadin said to me: 'Jacques, be careful never to convince a quibbler, for he will become your enemy. After this wise advice I avoided syllogism, which tended toward conviction.
To you I was only that, and worse. There were moments when I believe you hated me." "We need not discuss that now," says Dare coldly. "Where is Gower?" "I don't know; at least, I am not sure. What do you want with him? There is no use in quarreling with him," she says, nervously. "Why should I quarrel with any man because a woman chooses to prefer him to me? That is her affair altogether."
"For speaking to the man. She said he was a bad man, and she would kill me if ever I spoke to him again." "Oh, it was a bad man, and said bad words to somebody he was quarreling with?" "No, he said them to nurse because she took me away." "What did he say, Reginald?" asked Lady Bassett, becoming very grave and thoughtful all at once. "He said, 'That's too late; I've seen the parson's brat."
"You are too hard and stiff," said the Scarecrow, and this was as near to quarreling as the two friends ever came. Polychrome laughed at them both, as well she might, and Woot hastened to change the subject. At night they all camped underneath the trees.
The cobbles were icy, and scarce a moment passed in which he did not have to struggle to maintain his balance. The door of a low tavern opened suddenly, sending a golden shaft of light across the glistening pavement and casting a brilliant patch on the opposite wall. With the light came sounds of laughter and quarreling and ringing glasses.
