We came to a big level valley all among the mountains, and the mules were near dead, so we killed them, not having anything in special for them or us to eat. We sat upon the boxes, and played odd and even with the cartridges that was jolted out. "Then ten men with bows and arrows ran down that valley, chasing twenty men with bows and arrows, and the row was tremenjus.
"'So long as I did not think, sez Love-o'-Women, 'so long I did not see I wud not see but I can now, what I've lost. The time an' the place, he sez, 'an' the very words I said whin ut pleased me to go off alone to hell. But thin, even thin, he sez, wrigglin' tremenjus, 'I wud not ha' been happy. There was too much behind av me.
"Faix, and I'm thinking just that very same," responded the first mate. "It blowed tremenjus towards four bells, sorr, an' the poor crathur must be clane smashed up by now!" "It's very unfortunate if that has happened," replied the other. "The sea is running too high for us to launch the jolly-boat, and so we'll lose all chance of saving the wreckage."
He may be quiet, never get into no trouble, and never give nobody else none; but that don’t help him. ‘He gits his livin’ in the streets,’ they say, and that’s enough. Well, ’spose he does? he ’as to work tremenjus hard for it.” “His certainly cannot be an idle life.” “It just ain’t, if they’d only let us alone; but they won’t—them blessed Peelers I mean.
There was to me a romantic kind of interest about a man who had seen Winifred in Wales. 'Knew her well, said he. 'She was a Carnarvon gal tremenjus fond o' the sea and a rare pretty gal she was. 'Pretty gal she is, you might ha' said, Mr. Blyth, a woman's voice exclaimed from the settle beneath the window.
They went up and up, and down and down, and that other party, Carnehan, was imploring of Dravot not to sing and whistle so loud, for fear of bringing down the tremenjus avalanches. But Dravot says that if a King couldn't sing it wasn't worth being King, and whacked the mules over the rump, and never took no heed for ten cold days.
"She's always so full of her prejudisms," he said, pointing toward the kitchen door with his thumb. "Now 'f she'd go 'long o' me up to the spring and see what a tremenjus flow o' water there is, she'd be pleased as Punch. Now wouldn't she?" Lysander brought his chair to the floor with a bang that made the loose boards of the porch rattle. "Come 'round the house, pap," he said anxiously.
I'se been waitin' fer dis news mo' yeahs den I kin reckermember, but dey's come 'fo' my ole haid's under de sod. Hit's all right dat we is glad en sing aloud for joy, but we orter rejice wid trem'lin'. De 'sponsibil'ties ob freedom is des tremenjus. Wat you gwine ter do wid freedom? Does you tink you kin git lazy en thievin' en drunken? Is dere any sech foolishness yere?
'E's gone off in 'is shirt an' trousies, swearin' tremenjus gone down the road in the palanquin, wavin' 'is legs out o' windy." "Yes," said I, "but where?" "Now you arx me a question. 'E said 'e was goin' to sell that palanquin, but from observations what happened when I was stuffin' 'im through the door, I fancy 'e's gone to the new embankment to mock at Dearsley.
Whin he whishtled they began to rage roun' the room an' carry on tremenjus. But I niver want to hear men laugh as they did skylarkin' too! 'Twas like mad jackals. "Shtop that blasted noise!" sez O'Hara in the dark, an' pop goes the room-lamp. I cud hear O'Hara runnin' up an' the rattlin' av my rifle in the rack an' the men breathin' heavy as they stud roun' my cot.
