If any information she had been able to collect for Hans in the last year had helped his Ober-Lords to stir up trouble, she was almost sorry she had given it unless indeed, ructions between those ridiculous southern countries made it so that she could remain in England, then it was a good thing. And Hans had assured her that England could not be dragged in.
"In course human nature turns natchally to pink and white clover, like Vesty; but I tell ye, major, when it comes to a honest jedgment o' grass thar' 's lots o' comfort arter all to be took out o' old red timothy. Old red timothy goes to shutin' right up straight an' minds her own business. She ain't a-tryin' so many o' these d d ructions on ye.
"She wa'n't nothin' byordinar' as a calf; run an' gambil around with the other calves, bunt everythin', an' shake her heels out with the sinfullest. It was when she got to be a cow, and a old cow, that these here ructions o' sacredness, as ye might say, begun to develop themselves in her. "First I knew, she wouldn't eat nothin': we warmed her mess an' we salted it; no, nothin' 'u'd do.
I'm not at liberty to tell you what it is yet, but I had a long talk on the telephone with Charlie just before you called me, Eleanor, and there are going to be ructions!" "Oh, I suppose we mustn't ask you to tell us, if you've promised not to do it," said Eleanor, "but I do wish we knew!"
Nan was now sweet reasonableness itself. No sleepiest kitten, claws in drawn, could have been softer. Amelia was baiting her, asking her, with a reproving implication that she ought not to have been in a position to know, about the life over seas, and Nan was answering by the card, compliantly, sincerely. She had determined, Raven could see, that there should be no more ructions in his house.
The status of all four was exactly equal, and so far there was no head girl at 'The Moorings. Merle had indeed taken a most prominent part at the general meeting of the school, but though she might be the unacknowledged leader, that gave her no increased authority. Sometimes her excess of zeal led to ructions.
"Master Harry," she called, "Master Harry, come here at once. Is it you that's been raising ructions about the square? Shooting and destroying and frightening decent people into fits? Faith, I might have known it was you. If there's divilment going you'd be in it."
"Then I'll tell ye what ructions be," proceeded Captain Pharo, breathing stertorously through his pipe; "it's repealin' all our optional acts, for one thing! We can't institoot an optional act down here, but what you go an' repeal it!" "Oh, stuff!" said the high and hot-headed young man, quite taken off his level by the laughter round him; "I don't either!"
You were quite right in warning me against what has happened; but it is all past and broken off now, and I am still as ever, "Your affectionate son, "SHOLTO DOUGLAS." One day Eliza, out of patience, came to Mrs. Myers, and said: "A' thin, maam, will you come up and spake to Miss Conolly. She's rasin ructions above stairs." "Oh dear, oh dear!" said Mrs. Myers. "Cant you keep her quiet?"
"N o, I don't believe so. She isn't so pretty as cousin Eloise, but then she's pretty." "That's probably the reason your grandfather likes to see you around because you look like his side of the house." "Well," Jewel sighed, "I hope grandpa likes my nose. I don't." Zeke laughed. "He seems able to put up with it. I expect there's going to be ructions around here the next week." "What's ructions?"
