Father'll be ready in a minute, and then there'll be ructions." A little boy climbed the garden fence, and stood on the corner post. "Not comin' yet, Mam." Mam went back to the house, and the boy followed her. Here was my opportunity.
As I have said, there would have been ructions; but I do not myself see what could have been done. There was nothing in the bond to the effect that Faust should not marry, so far as we are told. The Old Man had a sense of humour. My own opinion is that, after getting over the first annoyance, he himself would have seen the joke. I can even picture him looking in now and again on Mr. and Mrs.
Every one had heard of the reading-room riot, and was anxious to discuss the matter with his companions. "Who did it? who did it?" was the question asked on all sides. "I don't know," would be the answer. "They say it wasn't the fellows who were in the room some of them put the gas out; but it was a lot of other chaps, who rushed in after, who did all the damage and caused such 'ructions."
If the head of a House is an abject lunatic, there's bound to be ructions. Fags simply live for the sake of kicking up rows. It's meat and drink to them. 'I wish the Mutual would leave, said Vaughan. 'Only that sort of chap always lingers on until he dies or gets sacked. 'He's not the sort of fellow to get sacked, I should say, said the Babe. ''Fraid not.
Sure, b'y, I didn't expect to see ye so spry to-day, an' was just studyin' out a few verses concernin' death an' pride an' ructions that would keep yer memory green." "Whist, father!" exclaimed the girl. "I bain't dead, Pat, so ye kin set to on some new varses," said the skipper. "If ye t'ought them poor fools ye heard yowlin' last night was to be the death o' me, then ye was on the wrong tack.
The pile of letters and papers which she had emptied onto the moulding table were red and glowing as the summer rose. Will hung his dismayed head. "Be them ructions, or ain't they?" coldly demanded Lunette, pointing to the awful pile. "I didn't mean to," said Will. "Didn't mean to!" cried Lunette. "Didn't mean to, lived in a lean-to!" Blasted by terror and sarcasm, we all hung our heads.
If you're going to have ructions, why, have 'em, but not on drive. If you don't look out, I'll set you both to rustling wood for the doctor." At this threat the belligerents dropped muttering to their places. The wind continued to blow, the fire continued to flare up and down, the men continued to smoke, exchanging from time to time desultory and aimless remarks.
A flirt she was born and a flirt she will die, but isn't she a perfect peach? That reminds me that ungrateful minx gave two dances rightfully mine to Mr. Howard Hunter last night. I didn't raise any ructions, because, to tell you the truth, I didn't much blame her.
Slowly like twin round moons rose the faces of the two stout men from opposite sections. "I say, Conductor," remarked one of them who was an Englishman, "this is a jolly shame. Can't we travel in peace in this beastly country? Always some bally ructions going on, don't yer know."
The old fool must do what I want, or there'll be ructions." The moon was high over Fort Pentecost when Athabasca entered the silent yard. The dogs growled, but Indian dogs growl without reason, and no one heeds them. The old chief stood a moment looking at the windows, upon which slush-lights were throwing heavy shadows. He went to Fyles' window: no one was in the room.
