The truth was that she had taken care of eight infant brothers and sisters, while her maternal parent slept raucously under the influence of beer when she was not quarrelling with her offspring. Jane, the housemaid, had passed a not uncomfortable childhood in the country and was perhaps of a soft nature.
He laughed raucously and Alan winced at the sound and cursed the morbid curiosity that had brought him to the bedside of this man who for three years past had held his own future in his dirty hand, or claimed to hold it. Alan Massey had paid, paid high for the privilege of not knowing things he did not wish to know. "What kind of a trail had you struck when you wired me, Massey?
His right hand was thrust into his pocket. He was touching his battered hat with the other. "Beg pardon, miss," he said raucously, "name of Jaggs! And I have reported for dooty!" Jack Glover listened gravely to the story which the girl told.
"You've got about as much brains as the rest of this outfit and that's putting it strong! If I owned you " "I'd cir-cle high 's if pass-in' by, then vol-lup bank an' la-a-and," the voice of Tex roared out in a huge wave that drowned all other sounds, the voices of Bill, Aleck, and Bud trailing raucously after.

He hated to expose his back to their laughter, and in his effort to be casually merry he stammered and was raucously friendly and oozed wretchedly out of the door. But he forgot his misery when he saw from Smith Street the charms of Floral Heights; the roofs of red tile and green slate, the shining new sun-parlors, and the stainless walls.
It was like Felix Marchand to arrange for just such an episode, and so throw the burden of responsibility on the Orangemen. "To hell with the Pope!
