"He's the stuff that martyrs are made of or lunatics. Same thing, I guess." "Isn't he a trouble-maker among the men?" "No. He's a good workman. Something more, too. Sometimes he writes paragraphs for the editorial page; and when they're not too radical, I use 'em. He's brought us in one good feature, that 'Kitty the Cutie' stuff." "I'd thought of dropping that. It's so cheap and chewing-gummy."
"And has her obduracy or stupidity caused all this sorrow and annoyance?" "Oh, no, sir " But Daisy's eyes filled. "Then has Mrs. Randolph been the trouble-maker?" Now Daisy flushed, her lip worked tremblingly; she turned her little head to one side, and laid her hand over her brow, to baffle those steady blue eyes of the doctor's.
He gave me two, and then two more, until Tumble-Weed turned round in his stall and whinnied for us to behave. Friday the Fifteenth I've been keeping Terry under my eye, and I don't believe he's a trouble-maker.
Compton left the office earlier than usual, complaining of a headache, and the next morning his daughter telephoned that he was ill and would not come to the office that day. During the morning as Bince was walking through the shop he stopped to talk with Krovac. Pete Krovac was a rat-faced little foreigner, looked upon among the men as a trouble-maker.
Foremost among the animal people was Unk-to-mee, the Spider, the original trouble-maker, who noted keenly the growth of the boy in wit and ingenuity, and presently advised the animals to make an end of him; "for," said he, "if you do not, some day he will be the master of us all!" But they all loved the Little Boy Man because he was so friendly and so playful.
I wish Phebe had stayed away a little longer." "There you go again at Phebe!" she protested. He replied grimly; "Not half what I feel." In a dangerously calm voice she inquired, "What's the rest then?" "She's a trouble-maker," he asserted in a shaking tone over which he seemed to have no command; "she came back to Greenstream and for no reason but her own slinked into our happiness.
Comrade Mary, with her thin, eager face of a religious zealot, made everyone share her fervour. All save Lawyer Norwood. Since the retirement of Dr. Service he was the chief pro-ally trouble-maker, and he now made a little speech.
He stepped from the car now he would be with her soon. He meant to stop in at the Reist farmhouse and ask her the great question. He could wait no longer. "Hello, Landis," a voice greeted him as he alighted from the car. He turned and faced Lyman Mertzheimer, a smiling, visibly happy Lyman. "Oh, hello," Martin said, not cordially, for he had no love for the trouble-maker.
"Referring to Charles Belknap Hyphen Jackson of Boston, Mass.," said he, "the greatest little trouble-maker that ever crossed the hills with a bracelet on one wrist and a watch on the other and a one-shot eyeglass and a gold cigareet case and key chains, rings, bangles, and jewellery till he'd sink like lead if he ever fell into the crick with all that metal on."
Of his opinions I know little, of the justice of his attacks less, and, to be quite frank, I suspect he is something of a trouble-maker.
