And she danced over to the dumbfounded little lady in the big chair, gave her an affectionate kiss, and then attacked the tangled mass of black with skilful fingers. "But, I you oh, my grief and conscience!" finished the little woman whose name was not Helen Clarabella. "Oh, my grief and conscience," according to Bertram, was Aunt Hannah's deadliest swear-word.
She had a confused idea of hearing a little "swear-word" from her father, of being shaken in a most ungentle fashion and put outside the stable, while the unfortunate animals were dried and treated with great consideration. But the worst was yet to come, and the results were so exceedingly bad that the young Woolcots determined never again to assume virtues that they had not.
Then he said, “I’ve cut something else out. No more swearing.” Eighty-five times out of every hundred that the boys in France use a swear-word they mean no more than I do when I say, “Great Scott.” “Do you, boys?” I ask them. “No, sir,” they invariably reply. “Well, then, why do you use these swear-words?” And then I’ve got them and, out of their own mouths, they are condemned.
"We salted one of 'em, anyway," chuckled Shorty, as he raised on his knee to reload his gun. "Gosh all Chrismus," said Si, using his most formidable swear-word, for he was very angry. "What was you brats shootin' at? Squirrels or angels? A rebel'd had to be 80 cubits high, like old Haman, for one o' you to've hit him.
It was warm enough now, so he used it to clean the caked blood away from the whip-inflicted wounds. He didn't want to believe what he saw as he worked you didn't use stingweed for any reason! but the yellowish edges of the wounds were proof that couldn't be denied, and he used a swear-word he'd seen embarrass his mother once.
Dick insisted upon reciting his doggerel, and Quin was not only much toasted as "Lady Bounce", but carried kicking round the room by the giant, because in a moment of forgetfulness he used a swear-word, which they all insisted was a reflecton upon the conversation of his illustrious aunt. Lorraine, in most amusing form herself, laughed until she was tired out, and wondered why she was not bored.
Yet, on the other hand, Wagner, with still vivid memories of the agonies he had endured during his voyage, may have thought the punishment excessive for a momentary loss of temper in trying circumstances and a passing swear-word; and the girl was to find the fullest joy her nature was capable of in sacrificing herself.
Mad? Oh, he was hopping! A German swear-word burst from him. I don't know what it meant, but I can imagine. "Look here, I give you one more chance," he squeaked; "if you don't " "What'll you do?" I was sure I had him. I was sure, from the very whisper in which he had spoken, that the last thing in the world he wanted was to have that agreement made public by my arrest.
It didn't look so bad then, and when I tried on Dinky-Dunk's coat in front of the glass I saw that I wouldn't make such a bad-looking boy. But I waited until noon with my heart in my mouth, to see what Dinky-Dunk would say. What he really did say I can't write here, for there was a wicked swear-word mixed up in his ejaculation of startled wonder.
I'm Vermont, and a swear-word or two don't scare me. I was brought up on first-hand stories of Ethan Allen's talk, and . . ." Marise broke in hastily, in mock alarm, "Now, Cousin Hetty, don't you start in on the story of Ethan Allen and the cowshed that was too short. I won't have our city visitors scandalized by our lack of . . ."
