"Whare now is ye hoort, Tom, alannah?" "Oh, it's nothing," I said with a laugh, as soon as I got back my breath, which had been knocked out of me by the rush `Ugly' made, the knife having only grazed my ribs, while it had given an ugly gash to my arm; though, probably, had I not guarded the blow, the sharp weapon with which my antagonist had only been supplied, like the rest of us, that very morning, would as likely as not have `settled my hash, as father used to say.
However, the iniquities of the steward were not to remain long unpunished; that same day, Mother Michel, in arranging the closet in the antechamber, was very much astonished at finding the bodies of several dead rats and mice; she was wondering what had caused their death, when she recognized the famous hash that the cat had refused to eat, and which had been left there by mistake.
I wondered if Abraham really had made a hash of life. Is to do what you most want, to live under the conditions that please you, in peace with yourself, to make a hash of life; and is it success to be an eminent surgeon with ten thousand a year and a beautiful wife? I suppose it depends on what meaning you attach to life, the claim which you acknowledge to society, and the claim of the individual.
He adjusted it as it should be, and lingered to tell her anything else she might wish to know. "I'm going to give them codfish cakes for breakfast," she confided to him, "a great many! But what on earth can I have for their dinners?" "There is canned corn beef hash," he suggested. "That would do all right for to-night. Or you might have fish." "Where would I get it?" "Indians.
"Non, monsieur," cries Alan, mocking him. "Is that how they learn you French on the Seahorse? Ye muckle, gutsey hash, here's a Scots boot to your English hurdies!" And bounding on him before he could escape, he dealt the man a kick that laid him on his nose. Then he stood, with a savage smile, and watched him scramble to his feet and scamper off into the sandhills.
When morning dawned they again climbed into their saddles and continued on towards the kraal of the boer. When, as they supposed, within about five miles of the house, they met two strange horsemen coming in the opposite direction. "Goot morgen, shentlemens!" saluted one of the strangers as they drew near. "I'm glat to meet some ones coming your ways. Hash you seen anything of our horses?"
"Now then, what's gone wrong, my dear?" he demanded. "Have you and Mike been making a hash of your married life that you should come in here on the verge of tears?" Mrs. Murphy blinked away a tear or two and sat down. "Some of the boys in the office will be enlisting, Mr. Ricks," she faltered. "I wonder if there might be a vacancy for me if I might not have my old position back?"
I told the cook to fix up something extra, and dare say you'll find it better hash than yours. I'd like you to come back to-morrow, but am afraid it's risky." The frost got more rigorous, drying the snow to a dusty powder in which Festing's lumber gang floundered awkwardly.
Chivalric fool, silly Don Quixote, sentimental dreamer, to have made a hash of his life in this manner! He leaned toward the window-sill and opened the cage. Rajah walked out, muttering. When it was possible, Elsa preferred to walk. She was young and strong and active; and she went along with a swinging stride that made obvious a serene confidence in her ability to take care of herself.
Athy, of Kinvarra, has very little to say. He thinks the bill would make Ireland a hell upon earth for all Protestants living in Catholic communities, and that a settlement of the land question would settle the hash of the agitators. Mr. Kendal, of Tallyho, an Englishman twenty-five years resident in Ireland, agrees in the latter opinion. I forgot to question him re toleration.
