As Susanna approached him, Ansel called out, "The yairbs are all ready for ye, Susanna; the weeds have been on the rampage sence yesterday's rain. Seems like the more uselesser a thing is, the more it flourishes. The yairbs grow; oh, yes, they make out to grow; but you don't see 'em come leapin' an' tearin' out o' the airth like weeds. Then there's the birds!
The Healys and Sextons and all of that ilk know that while under an Irish Parliament their country would be ruined, yet that they themselves would pick up something in the general confusion, while Dillon, like Mrs. Gargery, could be ever on the rampage, carrying out his promises of dire revenge, and flourishing like a young bay tree. Nobody here rejoiced when the bill was reported amended.
I believe Marm Parraday's on the rampage," exclaimed Joe Bodley, with a silly smile on his face. The door from the hall flew open. In the dusky opening the woman's lean and masculine form looked wondrous tall; her hollow eyes burned with unnatural fire; her thin and trembling lips writhed pitifully.
"Dat's jist what dey all say. Let any one beat a drum a thousand miles off, and dey's all on de rampage to follow it." "The Bishop thought Master John right to go." "Bless your heart, Miss Phill! De Bishop! De Bishop! He don't know no more 'an a baby 'bout dis world! You should ha' seen de way he take up and put down Mass'r John's rifle. Mighty onwillin' he was to put it down kind ob slow like.
"When can I get a train for Ohadi?" The ticket seller smiled. "You can't get one." "But the map shows that a railroad runs there " "Ran there, you mean," chaffed the clerk. "The best you can do is get to Forks Creek and walk the rest of the way. That's a narrow-gauge line, and Clear Creek 's been on a rampage.
"What's wrong, Johann," asked the captain, "are you sea-sick already?" He had noticed my expression as he walked by. "No, sir!" "If you are, it isn't anything to be ashamed of. I've known old sea-captains who got sea-sick every time they put out of port." There was a running forward. The shanghaied man hove in sight, on the rampage again. He came racing aft. "I must speak with the captain."
Between games, sitting on the davenport, Babbitt spoke to her with the requisite gallantry, that sonorous Floral Heights gallantry which is not flirtation but a terrified flight from it: "You're looking like a new soda-fountain to night, Louetta." "Am I?" "Ole Eddie kind of on the rampage." "Yes. I get so sick of it." "Well, when you get tired of hubby, you can run off with Uncle George."
But the other had been reflecting on the perils into which he would be sending his favorite despatch-bearer. "You can't tell where Lee is, or what he is doing; Jeb Stuart is on the rampage pretty lively between the Rappahannock and the Rapidan. It is considerable risk, and I do not like to expose you to it." "But I am all ready; and we are equipped, if it comes to the worst, to run!"
The Ohio was on a rampage a turbulent, coffee-colored stream, it had risen far beyond its usual boundaries, washed out the familiar land-marks, and, still insolent and greedy, was licking the banks, as if preparatory to swallowing up the whole country.
It was rather an indication of honest fanaticism than of deliberate reasoning rather a sign of being solemnly "on the rampage" than of giving way to careful conviction and more symptomatic of a sharp virtuous rant, got up in a crack and to be played out in five minutes, than of a judicious move in the direction of permanent good.
