'Twas just day before yesterday I blacked a pumpkin pie so the doctor poked his fun at me all the time he was eating it," said the housekeeper, with a tactful disregard for the full truth, which was that a refractory small patient in the office had driven the doctor to require her assistance for a longer period than was consistent with attention to her oven.
The dim form of Tom might be seen hovering without, armed with a bull's- eye lantern, at which he diligently kindling matches, which refused to stay in long enough to ignite the refractory fireworks. "Never mind," said he to himself, "they'll like it when they do go off." So they did.

"I only said, `Kick him out!" said Lawkins, somewhat doubtfully, as he noticed the black looks on the Parrett's captain's face. Bloomfield made a grab at the two luckless youths, and shook them very much as a big dog shakes her refractory puppies.
