I exclaimed, and I fairly clung against his shoulder while his strong, rough hand folded over mine as the husk did over the hollyhock seeds I had been holding warm and moist in my palm. "All of them, and then some, Betty," he answered, blowing away a wisp of my hair that he had again roughed up instead of shaking hands in greeting, despite my reproof.
If the roads are very bad, indeed, our shoes are roughed, but that makes us feel nervous at first. One cold windy day, Dolly brought Jerry a basin of something hot, and was standing by him while he ate it. He had scarcely begun, when a gentleman, walking toward us very fast, held up his umbrella.
He did not attempt to finish anything yet: it was necessary to think first; but he roughed out the general plan, and when at last he did go to bed he could not sleep for a long time. He almost fancied he was in the drawing-room at the 'Cave'. First of all it would be necessary to take down the ugly plaster centre flower with its crevices all filled up with old whitewash.
On the following morning the chief and Murfrey went away again; and in obedience to the command of the hag our hero, accompanied by The Lifter, who had instructions to shoot him if he attempted to escape, proceeded to a portion of the bush not far distant to cut firewood. Although he had 'roughed it' for many a season in the woods, Roland was clumsy enough at the regular work of woodcutting.
At least, we think it luxurious after our gold mining experience in the West. You will get better cooking at the Point, too." "But a camp!" sighed Aunt Kate. "We have roughed it so much coming down here, Mr. Hammond." "There won't be any black ants at this camp," said her niece cheerfully. "Only sand fleas," suggested the wicked Tom. "You can't scare me with fleas," said Jennie.
Two of them had a little practical building knowledge: Ralph Addington who had roughed it in many strange countries; Billy Fairfax who, in the San Francisco earthquake, had on a wager built himself a house. They worked with all their initial energy. They worked with the impetus that comes from capable supervision. And they worked as if under the impulse of some unformulated motive.
"And we won't pay no fortune for 'em either. And then you'll want some different clothes," and he looked critically at the well-dressed youths. "Oh, we know that we have roughed it before," returned Dave. And he mentioned their trip to Star Ranch, to Cave Island, and to the South Sea Islands, Norway, and other out-of-the-way places. "Well, you sure have traveled some!" exclaimed Tom Dillon.
The old wounds are scars now, it is long past and over, and I am grown up, and have roughed it in the world; but I say quite deliberately that I believe that Mr.
"Val," he said, "we have seen hard times together we've roughed it among strange places and strange people, you know and so on; and I think there is a friendly kind of feeling between us?" He held out his poor wasted hand, and Valentine grasped it firmly in his own with prompt cordiality. "My dear governor, I have no feeling in my heart that is not friendly to you." This was perfectly true.
We had roughed it in East and West Kootenay and were working south to leave the country dead broke. We had found "float" in plenty, and had followed it up ridges and over divides across three ranges of mountains. Our horses were plumb played out. We had camped on a ridge to let them fatten up enough to beat it out of British Columbia for ever.
