Jo sallied forth to the camp, anxious to know what had happened. She found a testy little company. For two hours they had been struggling in the dark with tents and waiting for the carts and for a policeman, as all the riff-raff of the town was gathering to loot our leavings.
Some of them, the riff-raff of the commando, are very unwelcome guests, for they do much mischief intentionally, and thereby give the commando a very bad name. The poles to which the wire is attached for camping at a farm were yet left undamaged. The burghers were still accustomed to get plenty of dry wood in the Boschveld, and were not yet so demoralized as to work damage without scruple.
"In a way, yes I'm the contract surgeon had to dig a bullet out of a water-tank tender back yonder fellow howled as though I was killing him no nerve mighty poor stuff most of the riff-raff out here ball wasn't in much below the skin Indian must have plugged him from the top of the bluff blame good shot too ragged looking slug like to see it?" She shook her head energetically.
And no doubt it had fallen in with the Vidame's grim humour that the bearer of Pavannes' first love letter should enter his mistress's presence, bleeding and plaistered with mud. And that the riff-raff about our own gates should have part in the insult. Bezers' wrath would be little abated by the issue of the affair, or the justice I had done on one of his men.
"There! You've again wasted my housekeeping money on scum and riff-raff. We shall never get clear of debt." "Hush! hush!" said the Rabbi gently. "If he hears you, you will wound the feelings of a great scholar. The money was given to me to distribute." "That story has a beard," snapped the Rabbitzin. "He is a great saint," the boy told Maimon on the way.
He never doubted the failure of that foolish concert of ladies and gentlemen given to the riff-raff of London, had taught her that whether man be equal in the sight of God or not, any attempt on the part of their natural superiors to treat them as such could not but be disastrous.
None the less, with that deep loyalty to the honour of the house that is a feature in Irish domestic life as wonderful as it is touching, the staff of Coppinger's Court were resolved that as they say in China the face of Master Larry should not be blackened, and The Riff-Raff of Cluhir were served with a ceremony and a success that left nothing to be desired. Dr.
They are recruited from the riff-raff of the towns, and are generally people well-informed on the state, condition, and doings of everybody. Acting on this previous knowledge, they can often tell your past to perfection, and in many cases they predict future events which their judgment informs them are not unlikely to occur.
The rain brings in another tribesman a famed though somewhat ragged bibliomaniac. His casual gestures hide the sudden fever old books kindle in his thought. Old books old books, a magical phrase to him. His eyes travel like a lover's back and forth, up and down. He knows them all the sets, the first editions, the bargains, the riff-raff. A democratic lover is here. But the clerk watches him.
Mohamad Bogharib purposed to attack two villages near to this, from an idea that the people there concealed his runaway slaves; by remaining I think that I have put a stop to this, as he did not like to pillage while I was in company: Mpamari also turned round towards peace, though he called all the riff-raff to muster, and caracoled among them like an old broken-winded horse.
