Chris looked at him in consternation. "He didn't want anyone to know." "My dear child, in that case he should not have courted publicity as the guest of the evening last night." "Jack! He wasn't the guest of the evening! How dare you say such things!" Chris's rare displeasure actually was aroused now. Her slight figure stiffened, and she tapped her knee with her riding-switch.
But a state of suspense was one which I could least endure to suffer; and impatient of the constraint which my friend's manner was fast imparting to mine, I asked him at once and abruptly if his uncle had returned. 'He rode in about midnight, he answered, tracing a pattern on the floor with the point of his riding-switch.
She found the Kaffir servants more than usually idle and difficult to deal with, and this added yet further to the burden that weighed her down. One day, returning from a ride to find Fair Rosamond swabbing the floor of the stoep with her bath-sponge, she lost her temper completely and wholly unexpectedly, and cut the girl across her naked shoulders with her riding-switch.
Then, as soon as she received an answer, she touched her mount with her riding-switch, and, breaking into a quick trot, never halted till she reached the door of the hotel in which Sir Thomas Nevil and Orso were staying.
"Out, fool," cried Gonzaga, cutting at him with his riding-switch, "we need not your capers." "No, but you need my wisdom," retorted Ser Peppe, as he leapt beyond Gonzaga's reach. "Hear me, Beltrame!

The glare upon the water was intense, but he stared into it with fixed, unflinching eyes, unconscious of discomfort. He held a supple riding-switch in his hands, at which his fingers strained and twisted continually, as though somewhere in the inner man there burned a fierce impatience. But his dark face was as immovable as though it had been carved in bronze.
He received a slight push from his master's foot instead of thanks when he had mounted, but Miles resolutely kept his eyes on the ground and restrained his rising wrath, ignorant of the fact that the Mahdi wished to point out the direction in which he was to run. A smart blow from the riding-switch on his naked back aroused him to his duty, and caused a slight laugh among the onlookers.
She eyed him while she smoothed the sorrel's mane with her riding-switch. "They did it to me three years ago, when I was six. Grandfather called it 'entering' me." Taffy kept his eyes sullenly on the ground. Finding that he would not answer, she turned her horse again and rode slowly after the others. Taffy heard the soft footfalls die away, and when he looked up she had vanished.
An inarticulate grunt came from his thick lips. "Canaille!" he exclaimed, through set teeth. "Can you have presumed so far?" He carried a riding-switch, and he seemed to grasp it now in a manner peculiarly menacing. But La Boulaye was nothing daunted.
