"So am I," was my reply, when Bob came to where we were gazing over the bulwark shoreward, and said sulkily: "I say, I don't want to be bad friends with you two. My father's sure to give me a big wigging for letting you persuade me to go.
"Go and enquire more about the matter, Sheldon," said the Colonel and Jack went away, smiling broadly now but fortunately holding in his laugh. "He wants a chance to get down from the tree, adjust his wig and get back his dignity," whispered Billy, who went off with Jack. "Yes, but how did he get there?" "It was one of my jokes and I'll get a wigging if he finds it out," chuckled Billy.

Further details are anxiously waited, since the affair, which is complicated by a doubt about the headman's suzerainty, may lead to strong representations from France." "It looks as if your friend will get a wigging," Foster remarked to Millicent as he laid down the paper.
Jogglebury sat wondering what was going to happen, and thinking what a wigging he would get from Mrs. J. if he didn't manage to shake off his friend. Above all, he recollected that they had nothing but haddocks and hashed mutton for dinner. 'Tell Leather I want him, said Mr.

But even in a beleaguered town under the sway of Martial Law you cannot hang a lady, or order her out and shoot her for Mutiny and Treason combined.
