You be watching out, Lucretia. He'll forget himself and make a bolt pretty soon. The test of the thing will be in seeing whether he holds out or not!" In his indignation, Harlan was too confused just then to grasp the fact that his tormentor was craftily handing him over to the Presson womenfolk, bound, branded, and supple unless he proposed to merit his grandfather's label in their estimation.
In the lobby the Prince laid his hand upon Somerfield's arm. "Sir Charles," he said, "if I were you, I would keep that evening paper in your pocket. Don't let the ladies see it." Somerfield looked at him in surprise. "What do you mean?" he asked. "To me personally it is of no consequence," the Prince answered, "but your womenfolk feel these things so keenly, and Mr.
Few of his supporters had gone to the poll in these vehicles, but, thanks to the intelligent driving of his chauffeurs, many of his opponents had gone to their graves or to the local hospitals, or otherwise abstained from voting. And then something unlooked-for happened. The rival candidate, Ali the Blest, arrived on the scene with his wives and womenfolk, who numbered, roughly, six hundred.
My schoolmates were none of them very interesting, but I somehow felt that, by making comrades of them, I was getting even with Antonia for her indifference. Since the father's death, Ambrosch was more than ever the head of the house, and he seemed to direct the feelings as well as the fortunes of his womenfolk.
"It is pleasant, lord," said Skallagrim, "when good tidings dog the heels of bad, and womenfolk can spare some tears and be little poorer. I have horses in a secret dell that I will show thee, and on them we will ride hence to Middalhof and there thou must claim peace for me."
"I'll mention it," the Duke promised, "but I am afraid my womenfolk are scarcely up to this sort of thing. The best plan would be to tackle him ourselves down at Devenham." "I thought of that," the Prime Minister assented. "That is why I am coming down myself and bringing Bransome. If he will have nothing to say to us within a week or so of his departure, we shall know what to think.
However, I'm getting quite nimble at guessing and inferring; and I gather that your splendid old grandfather is rather pathetically helpless with that hive of hidden womenfolk and gurus.

Yet she flatly refuses to go through their horrid rites of restitution.
"I ain't no kind of a hand at talking to the womenfolk. Where is she?" "Down yonder, sheriff. Shall we go?" "The old lady with the cane?" "No, the girl with the bright hair." "Doggone me," muttered the sheriff. "Well, let's saunter down that way." He waved to Terence, who, casting a black glance in the direction of Mr. Gainor, went off to execute Elizabeth's errand.
King managed a laugh which escaped critical notice only because old Jim was only half listening. "Oh, it's been open and shut all along that she'd marry Gratton," he said, keeping his head down as he drew a match across the floor as though to like a pipe whose bowl was empty. "If it suits his womenfolk, I guess Ben will stand for it." By now Jim had drawn his coat on and was back at the door.
