"If I do it'll be only to see what they wear and how they act; I don't expect to enjoy myself a bit after hearin' this. I've lost interest in it." With a zest somewhat at variance with her words Mrs. Terriberry began to manipulate a pair of curling tongs which had been heating in the lamp. A sizzling sound followed and a cloud of smoke rose in the air. "There! I've burnt off my scoldin' locks."
Gretchen, some people kiss each other by scoldin'; I do I scold to make the world better. I suppose everything is for the best, after all. There is no experience in life that does not teach us something, and there is a better world beyond that awaits all who desire a better life. Our desires are better than ourselves mine are.
He was scoldin' away in the native lingo, as if he'd bin a born nigger. "`Wot's all to do? says I. "`They're goin' to kill a little boy, says he, quite fierce like, `'cause they took it into their heads he's bewitched.
As fer me, Bill, I'm a good deal happier than I was when she kep' scoldin' me from mornin' to night every minute I was home." "Is Zog a kind master?" asked Trot. "I can't say he's kind," replied Cap'n Joe, "for he's as near a devil as any livin' critter CAN be. He grumbles an' growls in his soft voice all day, an' hates himself an' everybody else. But I don't see much of him.
"No, jest thought I'd help you out." "It's no sich of a thing. You know you don't love me an' you jest want a chance to tell me so." "Did it ever hit you, Margaret, that a woman ought to put herself in a condition to be loved? Scoldin' don't fetch out love no mo' than b'ilin' water would fetch out blossoms." "I don't scold, and I don't see why you always keep a hintin' that I do. Scold!
"Did you see them?" she began breathlessly. "Wasn't it wonderful? A whole half-hour those two blessed boys sat there an' talked; an' John laughed twice, actually laughed." "Yes, I know," nodded Susan, her own face no less beaming. "An' to think how just last night I was scoldin' an' blamin' Keith because he didn't come over these last three days. An' I never saw at all what he was up to."
I saw two geese leggin' it back as fast as they could go, and each one scoldin' the other one we'll have a good spell or winter yet, I am afraid, in spite of our two warm days and all the signs of Spring." "Weather like you is too good to last," said Mrs. Watson complacently, "I knew it wasn't the Spring, it was too good to last."
Was anyone ever kind to you?" "I dunno. I suppose so." "What would you call being kind to you?" "Not scoldin' or cuffin' me." "If I didn't scold or strike you, would you think I was kind, then?" She nodded; but after a moment's thought, said, "and if you didn't look as if you hated to see me round." "Do you think I've been kind to you?" "Kinder'n anybody else.
She's mighty old an' strenuous now, Dicey is, an' she thinks because she was present at Sonny's birth an' before it, thet she's privileged to correct him for anything he does, and we've always indulged her in it, an' thess ez soon as she knowed what was brewin' 'twix' him an' Mary Elizabeth, why, she took her into the same custody, an' it's too cute for anything the way the little girl takes a scoldin' from her thess winkin' at Sonny an' me while she receives it.
But here it wuz fearful impressive for the savages that destroyed her wuz in livin' form, they haint always materialized. Yes, it wuz a awful seen. And jest beyond it, wuz Burgoyne a scoldin' the savages for the cruelty of the deed. Curius, haint it? How the acts and deeds of a man that he sets to goin', when they have come to full fruition skare him most to death, horrify him by the sight.
