After they learned that Major Monkey was in the habit of going to Farmer Green's henhouse for eggs, the wild folk began to have a better opinion of him once more. So long as he didn't steal birds' eggs they were willing to overlook his stone-throwing if he didn't throw too many. Somehow they never seemed to think of Farmer Green's loss.
The Florentine youths, once mischievous to the last degree, attended the friar daily, and actually gave up their stone-throwing. Savonarola had to meet the danger of an attempt to restore the authority of Piero dei Medici. He mustered eleven thousand men and boys, when a report came that the tyrant had sought the help of Charles VIII against Florence.
"No you helped us best by staying here. The last hour's been pretty bad. And now Philip wants you to take two wounded police to the Smeaton Hospital five miles. He'll go with you. They're badly hurt, I'm afraid there was some vicious stone-throwing." "All right! Perhaps you don't know that's my job!" French helped her get out the car.
"Now this same Manling comes with soft, tickling words to this same Flathead, telling him that he is wise and strong and beautiful, and this same old Flathead believes and makes a place, thus, for this same stone-throwing Manling, and Art thou at ease now? Could Bagheera give thee so good a resting-place?" Kaa had, as usual, made a sort of soft half-hammock of himself under Mowgli's weight.
"Then how dared you disobey my orders, and go away?" he roared, furious at being proved wrong. "I went, sir, because it was my duty." "What!" "We stayed till the stone-throwing grew dangerous for us, and then I had the boat rowed out and anchored." "Oh!" "But I kept watch till you came in sight, sir; and we were as quick as we could be." "The mob pelted you too, Mr Herrick?"
Since the stone-throwing episode the Marshal had been doing duty as watchman, sleeping during the day and guarding the house nights, the heavy iron "bracelets" in his inner coat pocket weighing scarcely more than the loaded revolver in his belt.
On the following evening I lectured, and our stone-throwing admirers escorted us to the hall; in the middle of the lecture a man shouted, "Put her out!" and a well-known wrestler of the neighbourhood, named Burbery, who had come to the hall with some friends to break up the meeting, stood up as at a signal in front of the platform and loudly interrupted. Mr.
In the Life of Theodorus one Georgius, a disciple of his, mentions a house haunted by stone-throwing sprites, a very common phenomenon in the books of Glanvill, and Increase Mather, in witch trials, and in rural disturbances. This is a rare case of an Italian Banshie. The bogey of Bingen, a rapping ghost of 856, is duly chronicled; he also threw stones.
The Crackarades of Balists or stone-throwing Engines, Contrepate Clerks, Scriveners, Brief-writers, Rapporters, and Papal Bull-despatchers lately compiled by Regis. A perpetual Almanack for those that have the gout and the pox. Manera sweepandi fornacellos per Mag. Eccium. The Shable or Scimetar of Merchants. The Pleasures of the Monachal Life. The Hotchpot of Hypocrites.
"Here, sir!" cried the sergeant in front, carving a passage by dint of using his own stalwart frame as a ram. They hurried on, for some rough lads on the edges of the crowd had already begun stone-throwing. The faces about them seemed to be partly indifferent, partly hostile. "Look at the bloomin bloats!" cried a wild factory-girl with a touzled head as Lady Maxwell passed.
