On this occasion the seamen were fortunate in getting a sympathetic verdict, and the captain got what he deserved a good trouncing for his treatment of them. They were willing to sign off the articles, and he was plainly told that they must either be paid their wages in full, or he undertake to carry out the conditions of engagement in a proper manner.
She held it on at critical moments, and tilted her delicate little Greuze-like face at a bewitching angle, and all the while that she was looking so fetching, she was briskly trouncing by turns the Liberal party and the delighted crowd. The man of the long moustachios, who had been swept to the other side of the monument, returned to his old inquiry with mounting cheer 'Are we down'earted?
Plague take the old bushes, and you, too, you little rascal!" Peace drew herself up haughtily and with eyes flashing fire, demanded, "Do you mean that?" "Every word. I'd just like the chance to give you a good trouncing." He was not in earnest, but he looked so harsh and stern that Peace for a moment trembled in her shoes.
But if you don't take up more than we had at the last town, you'll have such a trouncing as you never yet knew. Now then!" Dazed and trembling, Gigi took the tambourine, and, shaking its little bells appealingly, went about among the people. They had already begun to scatter, with the wonderful agility of a crowd which has not paid.
But by and by the little fellow snapped at Jim and made Jim angry, and he bounced on the coyote and gave him a good trouncing. Before we sheared him, Jim would get very warm when the weather was hot.

The call-boy's warning cry slew one keen anguish with another, and the wretch who had been physically sick with fear a minute before was, under fire, as cool as a cucumber. But there came one moment more of heroic trial before the play was over. I keep religiously the notices of that first night, and I have laughed more than once at the gentle trouncing I got at the hands of Mr.
Yes, and more; she was looking on with a cool, measuring eye. Oh, it was all very grotesque, to be sure. But then, mutiny on the high seas in the year nineteen-thirteen is also grotesque. No lists here between mailed knights for a lady's favour, but merely the trouncing of a chuckle-head for spitting on the deck of a coal-carrier.
His excuse for the trouncing laid the blame on the Indians: The troops, after the artillery had been used for some hours, attacked two faces and, impossibilities being attempted, failed. The fort, from which the severest fire I ever saw was maintained during the attack, was well defended.
You probably could have given him a good trouncing had he been alone, and yet you were prepared to take smilingly the hazing imposed upon you. Maybe some of you fondly recall a cannon stuck in the ground behind a historical building where once George Washington had his headquarters.
I love this Paoli for trouncing the Genoese; but for denying the Prince his rights I must hate him, and especially for the grounds of his denial." "Tell me those grounds precisely, Marc'antonio." But he would not; and somehow I knew that they concerned the Princess.
