When they were alone in the library at night, Morton spoke of his eldest boy, expressing some anxiety about him. 'The rascal will have to earn his living and how? There's time, I suppose, but it begins to fidget me. He won't handle corn I'm clear as to that. At his age, of course, all lads talk about voyages and so on, but Harry seems cut out for a larger sphere than Greystone. I shan't balk him.
When they had at last reached the sky parlor, where the feast was to be held, the bandage was once more removed and congratulations were in order, Annabel was the first to extend them. "Welcome, sister lamb," she said, squeezing Blue Bonnet's hand. "You're game, my dear. Our hats are off to you. You didn't balk once."
The knack of lifting the bits with the tongue and shoving them forward of the bridle-teeth came in time. It made running away a matter of choice. When it became necessary to cause diversion he would balk. He no longer cared for whips. Physically and mentally he had become hardened to blows. Men he had ceased to fear, for most of them feared him and he knew it. He only despised and hated them.
Hadn't the bosses done worse than that, "framing up" a letter from Joe Smith to balk the check-weighman movement? The only thing that would help would be for some of the committee to get into the camp and see the men face to face. "And it got to be quick!" Jerry insisted. "They get notice to work in morning, and them that don't be fired. They be the best men, too men we want to save."
Martin's face beamed and then he went on: "That was a big day for me, Doris, but even when the chap went into it, I kept quiet. I feared he might balk. But he hasn't! He's big stuff that boy of mine. He confided everything to me this time. Certain phases of the work almost drove him off dissecting and, well, the grimmer aspects!
"Of course, my dear cousin," he responded; "provided you propose any legal villainy. I'm not partial to the police; but I really need the money, as you suggest." "And you will be faithful?" she asked, regarding him doubtfully. "To the cause, you may be sure. But understand me: I balk at murder and burglary. Somehow, the police seem to know me.
"Then presently one said, quite fiercely, 'Get back into balk there, get back fifteen inches, and the other voice said, 'By God! I'll shoot from here. Then there was a dead stillness, and then a voice almost screamed, 'You've potted me. You've potted me. That ends it. And then I heard the other say in a low tone, 'Forgive me, I didn't mean it. I never meant it to end that way.
These red-headed women are the very devil, Guy, after they've got you landed also before, but in a different way." "What's your game, Madeline?" he smiled. It had pleased her suddenly to veer around and resume the play; and far be it from him to balk her. "I'll admit you have me guessing." "I thought you believed me, Guy. My game was you and I've lost." "Nonsense!" he replied.
While he himself was in power the United States should have no set-backs that he could prevent, and if Burr realized his reading of his character he should manage to balk his ambitions if they threatened the progress of the country. Kitty Livingston he did not see again for many months, for her father died on July 25th.
Well, that was too much for me. I could not stand it any longer. I sprang at Serge and dragged him to Marusya. I struck him once and twice, got him by the neck, and belabored him with the hilt of my sword. "Apologize!" said I. Now, no one is obedient as your Gentile once you have him down. And Serge Ivanovich did not balk. He apologized in the very words that I dictated to him. Then I let him go.
