I prob'ly won't happen to have another talk with her, or anything, all the time we're in college." "No," Fred admitted, "I suppose not. Of course, if you did, then you would give her quite a talking-to, just the way you did the other time, wouldn't you?" But upon that, another resumption of physical violence put an end to the conversation.
I said: 'Good-evening, Marya Semyonovna! She did not speak. And Vasya was sitting in the next room, his head in his hands, crying and saying: 'Brute that I am! I've ruined my life! O God, let me die! I sat for half an hour by Mashenka and gave her a good talking-to. I tried to frighten her a bit.
We left the house, committing to Madeleine the task of choosing a favorable moment to hand M. Mouillard our joint entreaty. And here I may as well confess that from the instant we got out of the house, all through breakfast at the hotel, and for a quarter of an hour after it, M. Charnot treated me, in his best style, to the very hottest "talking-to" that I had experienced since my earliest youth.
She could have done this without going to the trouble of listening at the door. Theresa was minded to give the girl a talking-to; but she controlled herself, and quietly withdrew. Philippina looked straight through her as she left. But she did not interrupt her work, and in a short while she could be heard humming a tune to herself. There was a challenge in her voice.
He does not care for those he should, and he is forever in the green-room of the theatre." I made haste to change the subject, and to give her what comfort I might; for she was sobbing before she finished. And the next day I gave Tom a round talking-to for having so little regard for his sister, the hem of whose skirt he was not worthy to touch.
She stepped into the drawing-room with the single-minded purpose of routing Eustace out of his sleep and giving him a good talking-to for having failed to maintain her own standard of efficiency among the domestic staff. If there was one thing on which Mrs. Horace Hignett had always insisted it was that every window in the house must be closed at lights-out.
It was only my hideous folly that drove her from me." "Folly?" said Wratislaw, smiling. "Folly? Well you might call it that. I have come up 'ane's errand, as your people hereabouts say, to talk to you like a schoolmaster, Lewie. Do you mind a good talking-to?" "I need it," he said. "Only it won't do any good, because I have been talking to myself for a month without effect.
There were moments when only absolute speechlessness prevented her giving me a stupendous "talking-to" I could see it in her eye. The wrong things she would have said! And I recall, too, Mrs. Ramboat's slow awakening to something in, the air, the growing expression of solicitude in her eye, only her well-trained fear of Marion keeping her from speech.
He does not care for those he should, and he is forever in the green-room of the theatre." I made haste to change the subject, and to give her what comfort I might; for she was sobbing before she finished. And the next day I gave Tom a round talking-to for having so little regard for his sister, the hem of whose skirt he was not worthy to touch.
I then gave him a talking-to, saying that he had been a great disapointment, as I thought one should rise to the Country's Call and not wait until actualy needed, even when an only son. He made no defence, but said in a serious tone: "You see, it's like this. I am not sure of myself, Bab. I don't want to enlist because others of the Male Sex, as you would say, are enlisting and I'm ashamed not to.
