The Viceroy'll never stand it. It's unheard of. He must be slain by his Excellency in person. Order him up here and pitch in a stinger. Well, I sent him no end of an official stinger, and I pitched in an unofficial telegram at the same time." "You!" This with amazement from the Infant, for Abanazar resembled nothing so much as a fluffy Persian cat. "Yes me," said Abanazar.
"I am at present disabled, from the effects of a blow on the head received during the storm. No doubt Bax will be up immediately to give you particulars. "The cause of the loss of your schooner was, in my opinion, unseaworthiness of vessel and stores. "Your affectionate nephew, GUY FOSTER." "Hallo!" thought Tommy, "that's a stinger!"
"That snail must have crawled out from between two stacks of wax as we came up. We never saw it till it was all over. It was right beside Murell and had its stinger up when Bish shot it." "He took an awful chance," Kivelson said. "He might of shot Mr. Murell." I suppose it would look that way to Joe. He is the planet's worst pistol shot, so according to him nobody can hit anything with a pistol.
Grey was prepared to go far. If people evaded her, and showed an unwillingness to let her be kind to them on her own terms, terms which, in regard to Lady Channice, were very strictly defined; if people would behave in this unbecoming and ungrateful fashion, they only got, so Mrs. Grey would have put it, what they jolly well deserved if she gave them a "stinger." But Mrs.
One of them would take a thorn switch in her hand, and Fionn would take a thorn switch in his hand, and each would try to strike the other running round a tree. You had to go fast to keep away from the switch behind, and a small boy feels a switch. Fionn would run his best to get away from that prickly stinger, but how he would run when it was his turn to deal the strokes!
"El Placida rather picked me. Funny how things work out sometimes. Got chummy with an old boy going down on the boat, Senor Alvarado. Showed him how to play Canfield and Russian bank and gave him the prescription for mixing a Hartford stinger. Before we crossed the line he thought I was an ace. Wanted to know what I was going to do down in his great country.
While his wet shoes were steaming in the warmth and the mud was drying on his soles, he rubbed his hands cheerfully as he said: "I think it is going to freeze; the sky is clearing in the north, and it is full moon to-night; we shall have a stinger to-night." Then turning to his daughter: "Well, little one, are you glad to be back again in your own country, in your own home, with the old folks?"
As sure as your name's Dick Townsend, and mine's Bill Mathews, that old feller back East don't think you're goin' to say it's all right. He knows all about you! He knows you don't stand for no lies or crooked work, and are a fool for principle, like a bee that goes and sticks his stinger into somethin' even though he knows he's goin' to kill himself by doin' it." "Bosh!"
But her vehement fighting against facts; her obstinate aristocratic prejudices, which he shared; her stinger of a tongue: these in ebullition formed a discomforting prospect. The battle might as well be conducted through the post. Come it must! Even her writing of the pointed truths she would deliver was an unpleasant anticipation. His ears heated. Undoubtedly he could crush her.
"Perhaps next week will bring us good fortune, my dear," he said. "How did you get on to-day, all alone? I see the silver has been polished." "Only some of it, Daddy. And I have been a busy bee, now I tell you." "Bravo, my dear! The busy bee makes the honey." "And has a stinger, too," she replied roguishly. "I guess Arlo Junior thinks so."
