The children in front of us mildly scuffled with each other at one time, until the one at the end of the pew dropped a marble, which struck the floor and rolled with a frightful noise down the edge of the aisle where there was no carpet.
Gurta looked at him fiercely, and seemed waiting for his explanation. He began singing,— “She wheedled and coaxed, but he was no fool; He’d be his own master, he’d not be her tool; Not the little black moor should send him to school. “She foamed and she cursed—’twas the same thing to him; She laid well her trap; but he carried his whim;— The priest scuffled off, safe in life and in limb.”
Thomasin Tregenza scuffled into her clothes while he babbled, and now, bidding him sleep in a shaking voice, putting out the candle and taking the matches with her, she fled into the night to rouse her neighbors and summon a doctor. She forgot all her other troubles before this overwhelming tragedy.
It seemed to her as though she were looking at a perfect sea of white and tan bodies with slowly waving sterns, while at intervals from the big throats came a murmurous sound, rising now and again into a low growl, or the sharp snap of powerful jaws and a whine of rage as a couple or more hounds scuffled together over some private disagreement.
The Sunkhaze contingent rubbed elbows significantly, mumbled in conference, and scuffled slowly toward the shore. "Are you going to back down, men?" Parker shouted. "We've got wives an' children an' houses up there, mister," said a voice from the crowd, "an' it's a cold night to be turned out-o'-doors. We know these fellers better'n what you do."
"You wait a minute!" Sam protested, in a whisper. "I want to show you how I do." "No; you let me show you how I do!" Penrod insisted; and they scuffled for possession. "Look out!" Sam whispered warningly. "It might go off." "Then you better leave me have it!" And Penrod, victorious and flushed, stepped back, the weapon in his grasp.
The two mothers plodded steadily in the rear. Russell, scratched and dusty, and looking more like a street arab than a youth renowned for gentlemanly demeanour, scuffled in the gutter, kicking up the gathered dust which enveloped him as in a cloud; Harry and John bore the big hamper slung on a stick, the ends of which they frequently released for the purpose of straightening their backs and rubbing their tired hands.
But her foot scuffled against a wet stocking lying as limp as water grass, which recalled her to herself and the man who had led the way to this. A wave of pity swept over her as she wondered if he had found dry things for himself. She must hurry back and see that he was comfortable. She felt a certain pride that the beaded slippers she had found in the closet fitted her a bit loosely.
Hull was already perspiring profusely. He dragged a red bandanna from his pocket and mopped the roll of fat that swelled over his collar. "I we had a an argument about a settlement nothin' serious." "Did he throw you out of his room and down the stairs?" "No, sir, nothin' like that a-tall. We might 'a' scuffled some, kinda in fun like. Prob'ly it looked like we was fightin', but we wasn't.
There were drifts of fallen leaves all about, and I scuffled through them drearily, trying to feel gloomy, and old, and useless, and failing because of the tang in the air, and the red-and-gold wonder of the frost-kissed leaves, and the regular pump-pump of good red blood that was coursing through my body as per Norah's request.
