I came upon you in that side street off the Strand, as you were trying to carry off by force, aided by a rascal named Captain Copper, a lady, whose name shall not be mentioned here. I had not my sword with me, but with a walking stick I trounced your friend the captain, and then, with my stick against your rapier, I knocked out those teeth you regret, with a fair thrust.
But sometimes Polly revolted; her temper blazed up, a harmless flash in the pan, and then, it was said, Mis' Jeremiah took her to the shed-chamber and, trounced her soundly. I myself have seen her sitting at the little low window, when I trotted by, in the pride of young life, to "borry some emptin's," or the recipe for a new cake.
But there arose certain quibbles and questions, all of which Jack had at his fingers'-ends, by the strength of which the unfortunate young man was trounced.
In the chamber behind the window that Mac-Lachlan threw his peebles at, were his cousin and the child, as M'Iver speedily learned, and he trounced him from the neighbourhood with indignities. "What set you on the man?" I asked John when I came back after learning this. "What do you think?" said he.
Bitterly disappointed first at seeing the Turks vanquished by the Balkan League their greatest admirers could not even claim that the Turks had had any 'moral' victories their chagrin, when they saw the Bulgarians trounced by the Serbians, knew no bounds. That the secretly prepared attack on Serbia by Bulgaria was planned in Vienna and Budapest there is no doubt.
Elsa's glance roved, too, with a little chill of despair. In stories Warrington would have appeared about this time and soundly trounced this impudent scoundrel. She realized that she must settle this affair alone. She was not a soldier's daughter for nothing. "Stand aside!" "Hoity-toity!" he laughed. He had been drinking liberally and was a shade reckless. "Why not be a good fellow?
Claude, who had disappeared amid the grass, had not stirred. After a fresh spell of silence he summed up everything: 'That's it, old boy! Run them through, all of them. Only you'll get trounced. 'Oh, said Sandoz, rising up and stretching himself, 'my bones are too hard. They'll smash their own wrists. Let's go back; I don't want to miss the train.
Day and night they came to ask questions, and though told that she was visiting relatives in Kentucky, they departed suspecting that something must be wrong. The gossips were more or less busy, and Jim Taylor snatched another idler off the fence and trounced him in the sand. Weeks passed and no letter came from Louise. The Major worried over her until at last he forbade the mention of her name.
A man who smiled most of the time and talked Hindustani to a parrot was not to be accorded much courtesy; until one day Warrington had settled all distinctions, finally and primordially, with the square of his fists. After that he went his way unmolested, having soundly trounced one of the biggest bullies in the teak timber-yards at Rangoon.
"We've got you back on the gridiron, at any rate," exclaimed Hepson exultantly. "We of the football squad wish that we might be permitted to divide your demerits up among ourselves." "You might suggest that little point to the commandant of midshipmen," grinned Dan. "And get jolly well trounced for our impudence," grimaced Midshipman Hepson.
