Don't tell me that half a dozen daughters sat at home making bead mats in the front parlour, and never had ructions with their parents or themselves! They quarrelled like cats, my dears, take my word for it, and were ever so much less happy and devoted than girls are now, going away to do their work, and coming home with all sorts of interesting little bits of news to add to the general store.
And what was still worse, that there would be no one at hand to help her out of the situation into which his short-sightedness had involved her. As a last resort he wrote to Dr. Llewellyn: "I've been seven kinds of a fool. Watch out for Peggy. She's up against it, I am afraid, and it is all my doing. I'll write you at length later. Meanwhile, I'm afraid there'll be ructions." Poor Dr.
She cared, in a way. Not as I do. That was one hitch. The other was Oh 'Ell's antipathy to soldiers, as husbands for her precious family. She Rose knew there would be ructions; a downright tussle, in fact. Well she'll go almost any length to avoid ructions; specially with her mother. I don't blame her. The woman's a caution.
There's been great ructions in this office, mum; although what it's about, fly away with me if I know. There's been ruunin' back and forrad, an' a plentiful deal of language used. The proprietor himself has been here, an' he's here now, an' Mr. Alder came out a minute ago with his face as white as a sheet of paper.
"It is a mighty fine piece of work you boys have done," he remarked, after he had fully grasped the situation, "They'll be glad at headquarters to have these conspirators under their thumb, for they've been hearing all sorts of queer things about ructions that are being planned in the occupied zone. So Raymond's stumble may prove to have been a good thing after all."
I hope de ever-lastin' fire will be seben times hot when it gits dem skunks dat stirred up ructions 'ginst good King George, I sa'tinly do." A slight noise startled her, and turning her head, she smiled as she saw a girl standing near her side. "Land sakes! Missie Jean, how yo' did scare me!" she exclaimed.
Yet they associated with little friction, herding uniformly kind with kind, only rarely lending themselves to transient ructions.
"Now there's nothing that can stir up niggers into ructions against a white man's government better than a white man, as has been proved tons of times already, and here are you already on the carpet quite equal to the job.
He had much ado not to whistle in his surprise. But he refrained and merely bowed. "It seems to be a complicated situation," he said to Captain Phillips. "Does Shere Ali know?" and he glanced towards the Khan. "Not yet," replied Phillips grimly. "But I don't think it will be long before he does." "And then there will be ructions," Poulteney remarked softly.
'Most anyone could have done it without bumpin' into trouble; but not Cliffy. It was wonderful how he dug up ructions and him the mildest lookin' four-eyed gent ever let loose. And green! Say, what sort of a flag station is Bubble Creek, anyway? Askin' fool questions was Cliffy's specialty.
