His face had grown savage and lowering, but it was clear that this little spitfire of a sailor, with his handy pistol, daunted him. Kettle, who read these signs, was not insensible to the compliment they implied, but at the same time he grew, if anything, additionally cautious.
You are a devil!" said Nance through her little white teeth, and looked so as though she might fly at her that Julie drew off. "Aha spitfire! wildcat! you would bite?" Nance, all ashake with disgust, stooped suddenly and picked up a lump of rock. "Go!" she said, in a voice of such concentrated fury that it was little more than a whisper.
"I've a great mind, myself, to run after the bounder and kick him. But that sort of thing you did enough. Who'd have thought? You young spitfire! Chantel took you on, exactly as he wanted." The fat sleeper continued to snore. Wutzler came slinking back from his refuge in the shadows. "It iss zo badt!" he whined, gulping nervously. "It iss zo badt!" "Right you are," said Heywood.
"You understand, Mary," he asked in a wondering voice, "that when I struck Spitfire, I meant to kill Terence." "It was madness," she said. "I would almost say it was justifiable madness. No one could believe it was deliberate." "A jury might have brought it in manslaughter," he said. "Only for you and Terence I would have tested it long ago.

So, before Sam or the Indians could interfere, if they had been so disposed, the dogs ahead of Spitfire, hearing the cry of pain from their comrade, quickly turned upon him and gave him a thorough shaking.

I called and yelled in an agony of apprehension; but I might as well have appealed to the wind that went whistling by. "Perhaps the locomotive will hear you, and down brakes of its own accord," said Miss Spitfire, scornfully.
They selected the mainland abreast of Sacrificios Island. On the 9th of March, the steamers "Spitfire" and "Vixen" and several gunboats ran close inshore and shelled the sand-hills and chaparral in which the enemy might be concealed. Only a few horsemen were made to scamper away. The Government for this very landing had sent out a number of surf-boats, flat on the bottom and sharp at both ends.
'Not at all, I don't wish it, we needn't stand upon that footing, Miss Floy being a permanency, Master Paul a temporary. Spitfire made use of none but comma pauses; shooting out whatever she had to say in one sentence, and in one breath, if possible. 'Miss Florence has just come home, hasn't she? asked Polly.
It was a regular spitfire she was that day, Miss, and no mistake." So that was why the Professor had wanted the blue paper weight. Perhaps there was some reason in his delirium after all. "Have you seen her, Miss?" asked Mrs. Murphy. "Oh, yes," answered Molly. "I think she is very pretty. May I look at your garden, Mrs. Murphy? Dear little Otoyo, I can see her working out here in the flowers.
Arrived in Weimar he became entirely active, viewing with amusement the Baron's sophisticated assault upon the ardent-voiced, red-haired political spitfire whom he called Matty. Alone in an old tavern room, he gave himself to the arrangements of words clamoring for utterance in his thought. Old words. Old ideas. Notions dormant since years ago.
