The boy loved the streets and the woods and his fellow-beings; his punishments were a series of afternoons in the house, during one of which he wrecked the bedroom where he was confined, and was soundly whaled with an old slipper that broke under the process.
But ef you help a feller with the idee of it a makin' you happy, it won't, somehow. It's like the card player a givin' a man money becaze he thinks it will fetch him good luck. I ricolleck one time I seed a big feller a bullyin' a po' little devil, an' I told him to quit an' he wouldn't, an' I whaled him.
"It seems pretty hard, after a fellow has had his life almost whaled out of him, to say he is sorry. It seems to me it's the other chap who ought to feel sorry." "No, we were in the wrong and must apologize. You know how tender-hearted Deerfoot is. I believe he felt pity for Taggarak, even though he knew the chief meant to kill him.
He goes where he pleases without consulting me, Mr. Skinner. He means nothing in my life so why should I know where he is?" "You infernal scoundrel!" shrilled Cappy Ricks. "You whaled hell out of him and threw him out on the dock at Panama that's what you did to him! You took the Tillicum away from him by force." "Captain Grant is a fine, elderly gentleman, sir," Matt interrupted.
We sat in the wagon circling round and round, sometimes in the ditch and sometimes out of it, and Davie "whaled" the horse with his whip and abused him with his tongue. It was a pleasant day, and the spectators increased. There are two ways of managing a balky horse. My companion knew one of them and I the other.
Lanigan had just laid down a general rule of diplomatic conduct for the evening, but he made a prompt exception. He leaped on the man, struggled with him for a moment, and yanked off a red necktie, taking with it the man's collar and a part of his shirt, "But some stuff that they're full of can't be smoothed out it's got to be whaled out!" panted Lanigan. He did not release his captive.
'Went into his cave with a sledge stake an' whaled 'im whaled 'im 'til he run fer his life. Whether it was true or not I have never been sure, even to this day, but Ab's manner was at once modest and convincing. 'Should 'a thought he'd 'a rassled with ye, Uncle Eb remarked. 'Didn't give 'im time, said Ab, as he took out his knife and began slowly to sharpen a stick.
Across the way gas-lit windows glowed like squares on some great, blurred checker-board. The roadway teemed with shrieking children. Somewhere near at hand a pianola lost its temper and whaled the everlasting daylights out of an inoffensive melody from "The Pink Lady." Other, more diffident instruments tinkled apologetically in the distance.
To be called Thomas was gratifying, but the Mr. was quite overpowering and made Tom her ally at once. "I'm Thomas Walker, yes," he said. "Miss Patrick has told you about me, I dare say, and Mr. Bills, and Widder Biggs, and Tim. Oh, I know he's told you a lot what I was goin' to do, but it's a lie. I have plagued Miss Patrick some, I guess, and she whaled me awful once, but I've reformed.
"One of Em Crawford's riders," some one was saying. "A whole passel of 'em must be round the place." Came the thud of a boot on something soft. "Put the damn spy outa business, I say," broke in another angrily. Hart's gorge rose. "Tha's Miller," he whispered to his chief. "He's kickin' Dave now he's down 'cause Dave whaled him good."
