The washerwomen were among the happiest of these happy souls, and nowhere were seen prettier pictures than they made, clustered round the fountains or tanks by the way, scrubbing, slapping, singing, and gossiping, as they washed or spread their linen on the green hedges and daisied grass in the bright spring weather.
Now the question is and it's a fair one, why did you shove Em on to me!" "I didn't! You did it yourself!" "Well, that's a flat lie!" he cried, slapping the table in a sudden fury, and glaring at her. "That's what that is." Jenny crimsoned. It made the words no better that Alf had spoken truly. She was deeply offended.
Her ladyship's play was too high for him, he would own, slapping his pocket with a comical piteous look, and its contents had already been handed over to the fortunate youth at Castlewood. Like most persons of her age, and indeed her sex, Madame Bernstein was not prodigal of money.
Nothing daunted, the mias regained his footing, hauled his victim on to a mudbank, and, jumping on his back began to tear and pommel him. There was nothing of the prize-fighter in the mias. He never clenched his fist never hit straight from the shoulder, but the buffeting and slapping which he gave resounded all over the place.
For you must know that, though I am a very wicked Marionette full of faults, still I never have been, nor ever shall be, bribed."

Ye don't need to tell me one thing except this: I told ye I'd lead ye somewhere; haven't I kept me word?" "Yes," said Joe. "But I have the penetration!" exclaimed Mr. Sheehan.
He felt it spinning over and over, and then blackness closed in around him. Maya had never seen Nuwell in such a state of sustained rage. He strode back and forth in the private dining room of the Syrtis Major Club, near the western edge of Mars City, slapping his fist into his hand.
Furiously he snatched up his tube of shaving-cream, furiously he lathered, with a belligerent slapping of the unctuous brush, furiously he raked his plump cheeks with a safety-razor. It pulled. The blade was dull. He said, "Damn oh oh damn it!"
My missus is one of 'em, and she went bush with me when I'd nothing but a skeeto net and a quart-pot to share with her." Then, slapping the Maluka vigorously on the back, he told him he'd got some sense left. "You can't beat the little 'uns," he declared. "They're just the very thing."
An empty wagon served as our mobile quarters, empty that is except for straw or similar material to soften the hard wagon floor and we slept uncomfortably in shifts.
