Have you ever written anything?... And you pretend to teach me how to write me, to whom writing is life!... And you can find nothing better to offer me, when you have read my music, than a hashing up of great musicians, a filthy scrabbling over their works to turn them into parlor tricks for little girls!... You go to your Parisians who are rotten enough to be taught their work by you!
Waddington in Sir John's attitude, lying back and nursing his little round stomach, hope in the hot, buttery gleam of his cheeks, in his wide mouth, lazy under the jutting grey moustache, and in the scrabbling of his little legs as he exerted himself to stand upright.

Away up the long stony hill, scrambling and scrabbling, but never ceasing till they reached the level prairie at the top.

"Your wash-rag isn't getting along very fast, is it? I thought you were going to knit as I talk." "Oh, I am! I am!" cried Cricket, scrabbling up her wash-rag, which she had entirely forgotten.
There was a scrabbling and hustling around in the shanty, and low talking, and some one asked who was there; to which McGill replied for them to come out and see. Pretty soon, a little doddering figure of a man came to the door, pulling on his breeches with trembling hands as he stepped, barefooted, on the bare ground which came right up to the door-sill. "What's wanted, gentlemen?" he quavered.
"The Boss took and grit his teeth when he see a three-pounder go by, an' made remarks about Blacklock. "''Sh! says Mary-go-round, sudden-like. 'Listen! "We turned ear down the wind, an' sure there was the sound of some one scrabbling along the boulders by the riverside. Then we heard a pup yap. "'That's our man, whispers the Boss.
Mark, scrabbling for them, saw Lorry rise and press an electric bell on the wall; she had remembered there was no water on the tray. Mayer, moving to the dining room, did not see her, and called back over his shoulder: "Your American rooms are a little too warm for a person used to the cold storage atmosphere of houses abroad."
