Her small, quick eyes began to roll ominously and show red, and her relaxed figure became immediately tense and alert as that of a panther on guard. "Trouble's just beginnin' for you," her voice was a mere guttural growl. "A little more sass from you, you double-j'inted jumpin'-jack dancer, and I'll jerk you to the edge of that cliff yonder and throw you down.
Byng puffed out a great cloud of smoke and laughed again quietly as he replied: "Well, I've had a good deal of lion and rhinoceros shooting in my time, and I've had to make up my mind pretty quick now and then; so I suppose it gets to be a habit. You don't stop to think when the trouble's on you; you think as you go.
"It's Miss Robin that trouble's come to," involuntarily broke from her. "A trouble she must be protected in. She cannot protect herself." For a few seconds he sat and looked at her very steadily. It was as though he were asking a question. Dowie did not know she was going to rise from her chair. But for some reason she got up and stood quite firmly before him.
Janet found her little brother at the place where they had made the castles the night before. Trouble's eyes were filled with tears. "My p'ayhouse all gone!" he cried. "Trouble's house all goned away!" It was true. Not a trace of his playhouse was left! In the night someone or something had taken the blue stones away.
And why? Why should he interfere? "You save me one day to destroy me the next," she said. "No," he replied. "I don't think I shall do that, Stella," and he explained to her what drove him on. "I had no idea why Hazlewood asked me here. Had I suspected it I say frankly that I should have refused to come. But I am here. The trouble's once more at my door but in a new shape.
My mother sat beside him and stroked his hands like she did the cat's back when she would soothe it. "Aye, Jeannie," said he, "poor Willie's gone. It's from the lawyer, and it was sudden or they'd ha' sent word of it. Carbuncle, he says, and a flush o' blood to the head." "Ah! well, his trouble's over," said my mother. My father rubbed his ears with the tablecloth.
Oh, a trouble's a ton, or a trouble's an ounce, Or a trouble is what you make it; And it isn't the fact that you're hurt that counts, But only how did you take it. "You're beaten to earth; well, well, what's that? Come up with a smiling face, It's nothing against you to fall down flat, But to lie there-that's disgrace.
"If yer wants my 'pinion 'bout what's gwine on," said Clo, suddenly, as she rose to pile up the dishes she had been using preparatory to making poor Sally wash them in the kitchen; "it's jis' dis yer! Dis trouble's all missus!" "Missus!" repeated Vic. "Now what does yer mean?" cried Dolf. Clo nodded her head several times with gravity and precision.
The Clydes, of whom I am the present head, have always had great respect for the inevitable and have never permitted the idealization of a hopeless cause to lead them into trouble solely for trouble's sake.
He paused, and then drawled solemnly, but with a suspicion of the twinkle in his eye: "The general opinion seems to be that that's where I'll go, so's I don't know's I need to worry." Mrs. Armstrong made no comment on this confession. He did not seem to expect any. "Ma'am," he continued, "you see what I mean. The trouble's with me, I ain't made right.
