You never saw me drunk and never will. Thunderation, here she comes!" He stuffed the bottle back into his hip pocket and the Major threw himself back with a loud laugh. Mrs. Cranceford, handing the book to Gid, cast a suspicious look at the Major, who continued to shake. "Why, what has amused you so?" she asked. And now old Gid was nodding and chuckling in hypocritical diversion.
Thunderation! if the people of Tarascon could only have seen him! The camel rose, straightened up its long knotty legs, and stepped out. Oh, stupor! At the end of a few strides Tartarin felt he was losing colour, and the heroic chechia assumed one by one its former positions in the days of sailing in the Zouave. This devil's own camel pitched and tossed like a frigate.
Have you ever thought on't? 'Billy never had thought of it in that light, he said, although he had thought of marrying, providing the girl would have him. 'Have you! Thunderation! A girl would be a fool who wouldn't marry three millions, with Lubber-too thrown in! Who is she? Peterkin asked. After a little hesitancy Billy replied: 'Jerrie Crawford. 'Jerrie Crawford!

Captain Hamilton was first at the door, and he unlocked it. The instant he pulled the door open, Drew heard him ejaculate: "Thunderation! Mr. Ditty! What are you doing here?" "You told me to follow you here, Captain Hamilton," said a respectful voice. "They told me you were inside, and so I waited for you." "Humph! quite right, Mr. Ditty," Captain Hamilton said hastily.
Miss Davis screamed wildly to him to come back, and danced about, wringing her hands. The interior of the henhouse was now a mass of black smoke, from which the voices of the Captain and the Leghorns floated in a discordant medley, something like this: "Hold still, you lunatics! Land! I'm smothered! NOW I've got you! Thunderation! Hold STILL! HOLD STILL, I tell you!"

He began to tinker at the wound in rather a clumsy way until the youth exploded. "Gosh-dern it!" he said in sharp irritation; "you're the hangdest man I ever saw! You wear muffs on your hands. Why in good thunderation can't you be more easy? I'd rather you'd stand off an' throw guns at it. Now, go slow, an' don't act as if you was nailing down carpet."
"Thunderation, a Yankee spy!" he exclaimed. Dick always believed that his life was due to a sudden and violent impulse, or rather a convulsive jerk, because he had no time to think. He threw off the officer's hand, dashed his fist into his face, and, without waiting to see the effect, ran headlong among the bushes down the side of the ravine.
"I couldn't stand it; I'd probably murder Roland.... "Besides, I've no right there an impostor a contemptible low-lived pup like me!... "Why the thunderation did I ever allow myself to be persuaded to come here? Why was I ever such a fool?... "How could I be such a fool?..."
"I remember a young fool of a Johnnie reb dashing up the hill fifty yards ahead of his men, waving his sword and yelling like a wild Indian." The Southerner straightened up. "Well, where in thunderation would you expect me to be, sir?" he exclaimed. "Behind them? I got my wound there. Laid me up for three months; like to have killed me." Then a new idea struck him.
