After some minor instructions from Anna, the sweep went off on his midnight errand. The neighbors were sent home. The kettle replaced the pot on the chain, and we gathered full of ecstasy close to the fire. "Whisht!" Anna said. We listened. Above the roar of the wind and the rattling of the casement we heard a loud noise. "It's Billy thunderin' at Marget Hurll's doore," Jamie said.

"I never was so thunderin' scat in all my life, by gum!
"Yis, prove that, and I'll cut his heart out," cried an inebriated woman, brandishing a knife a foot long. "Yes, prove it, you thunderin' fool!" cried Merwyn. "The cops are comin' now, and you want to begin a fight among ourselves." True enough, the cry came ringing up the avenue, "The cops comin."
But that wos old Doolally all over . . . yer might s'y 'e 'adn't no sense o' 'umor, that man. Down country we moves next d'y, for Peshawur, where th' reg'ment lay. We'd copped a thunderin' lot o' prisoners th' Mullah an' all." "Wha' d'ye ca' a Mullah?" queried McSporran, with grave interest. Hardy, carbine-barrel between knees struggled with a "pull-through."
Finn had returned to his old place by this time, but hesitated to lie down while Bill moved about. "Now, just you take a rest, Wolf," said the boundary-rider, satirically. "I'm goin' to turn in now, an' I don't attack thunderin' great grey wolf-dogs while I'm undressin'; not on your life I don't; so jest you take a rest, son. Look at fat Jess!
