This reminds me that the story goes that when the Prince expressed his admiration for Fifth Avenue he was congratulated upon having "said a mouthful." Beyond a mouthful, as an encomium of sagacity or sensationalism in speech, there is but one advance and that is when one says "an earful."
They had a terrible row, and all the nearest neighbors inclined ears to doors ajar getting an earful, as Bud contemptuously put it. He finally led Marie's mother to the front door and set her firmly outside.
And now if mademoiselle is agreeable suppose we adjourn to the skipper's quarters, where we can improve one another's acquaintance without some snooping steward getting an unwelcome earful. We need to know many things you alone can tell us and I'll wager you could do with a drink. What?" "But I assure you, monsieur, I find your reception sufficiently refreshing."
"I don't know anything about them there reflex actions," observed Yellin' Kid, "but I do know that this is no fishin' party! We've got hard work cut out for us if we're to trail them sneakin' Yaquis." "You delivered an earful that time, my friend," stated Rolling Stone, with a grim smile.
Kennedy had finished with the manicure some time before and was waiting for me impatiently. "I haven't been able to get Marlowe," I hastened, "but I've had an earful." He listened keenly as I told him what I had heard, adding also the account of my encounter with Gavira.
"Richly dressed, I agree," said Nan. "But Mrs. Cupp will have something to say about that." "I know," giggled the wicked and slangy Bess. "She'll give her an earful about dressing 'out of order. She is worse than Linda." "No. Better," said Nan confidently. "Whoever chose that girl's outfit showed beautiful taste, even if she is dressed much too richly for the standard of Lakeview Hall."
"I thought it would keep him off our heels for a while," says I. "I fed him an earful, I guess." "Young man," says Mr. Ellins, shakin' a forefinger at me, but lettin' his left eyelid drop knowin', "the next time I find that imagination of yours running loose I I'll authorize Captain Killam to catch it and put it in irons. Now let's have luncheon."
The rider was close now and the Texan recognized a self-important young jackass who had found work with one of the smaller outfits. "It's that mouthy young short-horn from the K 2," he muttered, disgustedly. "Well, he'll sure cut loose an' earful of small talk. He hates himself, like a peacock."
Fibsy was, therefore, eating his breakfast after the most approved formula, when Stone said, "Well, Fibs, how about Sykes and Barton? Now for the tale of your call on Willy Hanlon yesterday." "I went down there, Mr. Stone, but I didn't see Hanlon. He was out. But I did a lot better. I saw Mr. Barton, of Sykes and Barton, and I got an earful! It seems friend Willy has ambitions." "In what line?"
"Someone's been handin' him an earful," grumbled Cassidy, "an' it might be all he needed to take 'im through the first minute of the round, and maybe the whole round I've seen that did lots o' times." As the two men met the "white hope" was the aggressor.
