"I 'ad no more idea what I was giving the child, my lady, than any one could 'ave...." Her ladyship turned her mind in more hopeful directions, wigging Caddles of course tremendously by the way. Emissaries, full of diplomatic threatenings, entered the whirling lives of Bensington and Redwood.
It has been a bad affair, for we have lost nine men killed; but as far as you are concerned you have done splendidly. I am afraid I shall get a pretty bad wigging for allowing them to get out, though certainly the bolts of the hatchways were all right when we changed the watch. Of course I see now that I ought to have placed a man there as sentry.
But he gave poor Carter a terrific wigging for not having called him when the boats were first sighted, and for receiving us on board without first consulting him. "For how could you know, Mr Carter," he said, "that the boats were not full of pirates?
I should get a tremendous wigging, no doubt, if he is discovered, and it was known that I had a hand in it; but I would not mind risking that, for the sake of the children. "But don't take a firelock, Repton. The sergeants would be sure to notice that there was an extra man. You had better join us, just as we set out. I will say a word or two to you, then do you follow on, in the dark.
"What does the old chap want now? Another wigging, I suppose. What have I been doing to make him write a note like that? "I ought to have said despatch. Hang his formality! Here, what did he say?

It was only a brick of currant cake, paved with lemon peel. I hauled it out and moved round like a cloud of thunder and lightning. But she began to cry and to say she had made it herself for Johnnie, and then well, didn't I just get a wigging from the Sister, though! "But I don't mind what happens here, for I am in London, and to be in London is to live, and to live is to be in London.
"Bosh," said the Doctor. "All this about Hamlyn's going out hare-hunting." "I don't mind it once a-week," said the Vicar, ignoring the Doctor's interruption; "but FOUR TIMES is rather too much. And Hamlyn has been out four days this week. Twice with Wrefords, and twice with Holes. He can't deny it." Jim couldn't, so he laughed. "You must catch him, sir," he said, "and give him a real good wigging.
"He was 'wigging' Kennedy, and he remarked in his tender way, 'Look here, you hero, why don't you brace up and be a man? You are continually sick or on the report, and you aren't worth your salt. Get down below now, and fill your billet. Poor devil! he tries to do his best, I guess." Just then Kennedy faced around toward us and we saw that he was laughing. "What do you think?" he said.
