His voice did not even sound excited, though here was trembling. "Don't be scared," he went on. "The mean galoot! A prairie-dog could tear him to pieces." "I'm not frightened now," she answered. "Oh, thank you for coming. You've saved my life. Can't I help? I might go to the telephone and call " "No. Do nothing of the sort," her neighbour commanded. "There must be no ructions in your room.
"Wal," said my soul's companion, with the fire all gone from his manner, "I'll kinder han' 'er into the boat, an' shake my han'kercher at 'er an' smile, when Mis' Kobbe ain't lookin', an' the rest o' these ere s'ciety ructions, jest t' show ye how."
"Ef thar 's melon an' ginger persarves settin' by yer plate, d'ye ask them two old women, in some kind of genteel s'ciety ructions sort o' a way, ter go outer the room an' git ye somethin', an' soon 's they've gone d'ye jump up an' thring a shawl over that darn' parrot o' theirn 't stands there noticin' 'an' swearin', an' chuck 'em in over behind the wood-box or somewhar's, but don't eat 'em."
They've got a letter that they think is that one. The minute they find out we've fooled them there'll be ructions." "I am good at ructions!" Hadad answered. "My friend Narayan Singh is forward watching them," said Grim. "What they'll probably try when they make the discovery will be to have the lot of us arrested at some wayside station. I propose to forestall them."
"Your aunts are not at home?" "No. They have gone for their drive. Did you wish to see them?" "I am in terror of your Aunt Winifred. She and I had many ructions when I was small. She thought our keepers used to shoot her cats." "They probably did!" "Of course. But a keeper who told the truth about it would have no moral sense."
Fyne easily begged her not to let "that silly thing go back to us any more." There had been, he said, nothing but "ructions" at home about her for the last three weeks. Everybody in the family was heartily sick of quarrelling. His governor had charged him to bring her to this address and say that the lady and gentleman were quite welcome to all there was in it.
"What do they pay?" "Five dollars a week." "Pshaw! what ructions! Three dollars a week had ought to pay the board of the fanciest human creetur 't God ever created yit. But some folks wants the 'arth, and'll take it too, if they can git it." "Wal', I don' know; they're kind o' meachy, and allas souzlin' theirselves in hot water; it don't cost nothin', but it gives yer house a ridick'lous name.
"None of your business, Miss!" snapped the black-eyed girl, made even angrier at this interruption. "Wrong Cora wrong. It is my business. Somebody will call me to account for it if you West Side infants raise ructions in the main hall. You know that. So, out with the difficulty." Cora still remained scornfully silent.
"Scaife and Lovell are skinning the beast," he added confidentially. "Green he is, and no error." "Ructions soon," said John. "I don't believe it," replied the Caterpillar. "Take my word, Warde knows what he's about. He's playing up to the younger members of the house you, Caesar, and you, Jonathan and he's letting the others slide." "Giving 'em rope," said John, "to hang 'emselves."
No one could gainsay that they had good reason, but I really feared for a time that we should have "ructions," As Paddy said, it was not wise or dignified for those officers to be so angry with him on account of his success, which he frankly owned was due almost entirely to the local knowledge he possessed, gained in many years' study of the immediate neighbourhood.
