"Will you belay your jaw?" roared David, in a fury that Lucy did not comprehend at the time. "What a set of tarnation babblers in one little boat." "I won't speak any more, Mr. Dodd; I won't speak."
He sure is exhausted; even his paws is limp. But one of his eyes seems t' hold a spark o' life, an' he fixes that on me. An' he asks, weak-like: "'Say, Bill, what in tarnation is a fox?" The company looked at Bill fixedly; not reproachfully, but fixedly. Then slowly the men began to take off their clothes, with the idea of turning in.
The Falcon hove in sight about mid-day. She had chased the felucca well, to windward, when the immense large schooner had intruded herself as a third in the party, and she and the felucca, as well as I could understand, had united, and gave the man-of-war brig a pretty considerable tarnation licking, as brother Jonathan hath it.
That's a trust, Sandy, an' I don't say but what the feller as tho't o' that name must o' bin a tarnation amusin' feller." "Say, you orter bin in a cirkis," sneered Sandy, as the loafer finished his disquisition. "Wal, I'd say that's better'n a museum," retorted Sunny. But Toby was impatient to hear how Sunny intended to dispose of him. "Wher' do I figger in this lay-out?" he demanded. "You?"
He felt, indeed, that the great outlaw had simply allowed him to run on a long rope, knowing that he must travel in a circle and eventually come back to the band.

"'No matter 'zackly how, marster, it's them. I'll warrant them's hard plums for a Christmas pudding. Ha! ha! they get it this morning, them tarnation Hessian niggers! "'Ann, thee'll never forgive the Hessians thy sausages and pork. "'Forgive not I. All my nice sausages and buckwheat cakes, ready buttered and all for them 'are yaller varments.

The sand had all run out; and Johnson grasped the line just before the eighth knot reached his hand. "Tarnation! you're right, stranger," he angrily exclaimed. "Waal, I swan I made sure she was going ten at the very least." "You skippers very often make that kind of mistake," remarked Lance.
Bates, "this seat is getting tarnation hard." Kate ran after a chair, and helped her mother to alight. Mrs. Bates promptly took the chair, on the sidewalk. "Just drop the thills," she said. "Lead him back and slip on the halter. It's there with his feed." Kate followed instructions, her heart beating wildly. Several times she ventured a quick glance at her mother. How she had aged!
