I guess the truth is" -Simmons' eyes twinkled -that Valden is ashamed to see you after the rebuke you gave him the other night, Prescott. After we got young Mosher to the jail and locked up, I gave Valden a talking-to, and told him I'd report him to the sheriff if I ever heard of his abusing a prisoner again." "So Tag escaped, with some field artillery, and you officers are out after him?"
It was plain he had had a master talking-to; and I could see there must be more of the devil in the girl than I had guessed, and more good-humour about the man than I had given him the credit of. He began, at least, calling me Mr. Balfour, and plainly speaking from a lesson; but he got not very far, for at the first pompous swell of his voice Catriona cut in.

But where's the nobly born Viktor? To be sure, he's always gadding about! He'll come across the inspector one of these fine days! He'll give him a talking-to! Das ist ein Bummler, Fiktor! 'Dem Fiktov kann ich nicht kommandiren, Ivan Demianitch. Sie wissen wohl! grumbled Eleonora Karpovna.
And that’s all there is to it! But I wanted you to know that Arthur thought it was right—well sort of right, you understand—when he took those things. You don’t think so now, do you, after the talking-to I’ve given you?” She turned severely on Arthur. Arthur shuffled and looked embarrassed. “No,” he said sheepishly, “not until you’re grown up.”
"Yes, he's right here, Mr. Pollock. And from the extraordinary information he has brought us, I think he needs a talking-to. Wait a moment." Chairman Stone passed the instrument to Len Spencer. The members of the Board felt curiosity enough to leave their seats and gather at the head of the table. Say, I've just had another 'phone from that same party.
Korney, the valet, going down to the hall porter's room, asked who had let her in, and how it was he had done so, and ascertaining that Kapitonitch had admitted her and shown her up, he gave the old man a talking-to.
After vacillating another day, he staked one of the notes, at a discount, of course. This he lost. A second note followed the first; and everybody confidently expected that the third would disappear in the same fashion. But Jim Reckett, who was a very good sort, took this man aside, and gave him a good talking-to. "You confounded fool," said he, "you're barred from my tables.
"Humph! yes," said the doctor to himself. "I'm very sorry, Dr Grayson," continued the principal; "but the boy is incorrigible, and you must take him away." The doctor took the boy away, and he had a very stern talking-to at home. Two months passed away. "There, Helen," said the doctor one morning; "what do you say to him now? Wonderfully improved, has he not?
Her casual mention of the fact that she and her husband were taking their departure that very day, appealed to him as an added reason for devoting his entire attention to her. "You mustn't forget that famous talking-to you threatened me with that 'regular hoeing-over, you know," he reminded her, when he found himself alone with her after breakfast.
