"I will come with you, and we will both shout." Into the road we both went; and he shouted, "Herrings for nothing!" and then I called out also, "Will any one have some herrings for tea?" They heard the voice, and they knew it well; and they came out at once, in twos and threes and sixes, men and women and children, all striving eagerly to reach the welcome food.
Their conflicts are very desultory, being carried on by twos and threes, or sixes and sevens, and with sticks, and stones, and other weapons, if they cannot get knives, or matchlocks. Meanwhile, the Emperor folds his arms, and looks on superbly and serenely.
"Tell him we are all at sixes and sevens, Mr. Wylie; all at sixes and sevens." "Well," said Wylie, affecting a desire to oblige, "give me a line to him; for I've been twice, and could never get in." Michael wrote an earnest line to say that Wardlaw senior had been hitherto much occupied in fitting out the Springbok, but that he was going into the books next week. What was to be done?
We'll borrow the consul's flag; old man Billfinger shall make orations, and we'll have a barbecue on the plaza. "'Fireworks, says I, 'will be scarce; but we'll have all the cartridges in the shops for our guns. I've got two navy sixes I brought from Denver. "'There is one cannon, said the General; 'one big cannon that will go "BOOM!" And three hundred men with rifles to shoot.
Everybody admitted that this was true. "So we get back again," said the captain, "to the old question Who among the able-bodied is to go? and who is to stay? Captain Ebsworth says, and I say, let chance decide it. Here are dice. The numbers run as high as twelve double sixes. All who throw under six, stay; all who throw over six, go.
I started in with a dollar, lost it on craps sixes, that time sent another one down the same trail trying to make Little Joe come again, third went on craps, fourth I doubled on nine, lost 'em both on craps say, I never looked so many aces and sixes in the face in my life! It was sure kay bueno, the luck I had that night. I got up broke, and had to strike Riley for money to get out of town with."
"You'll find everything at sixes and sevens. I tried to get cleaned up a little before you got here, but the baby was so cross, I had to sit down and hold him most of the afternoon. He's just gone to sleep, and left me with all this work, and supper to get for half a dozen hands, beside." "Now, that is really unfortunate," said Clemence, kindly. "Can't I help you in some way?" "You," said Mrs.

Another person then tries them in our absence, and assures us that he threw sixes ten times in succession. Is the assertion credible or not? Here the effect to be accounted for is not the occurrence itself, but the fact of the witness’s asserting it.
Here am I so powerful and energetic, and so well able to spin round checked, and hindered, and harassed by wheels and pinions and levers, some going this way, and some going that way, all at sixes and sevens, and all for no good end that I can see, buried as I am in this dark hole and scarcely allowed to move at all? Would it be right or reasonable to charge the watchmaker with having made the watch in vain, or made it wrong?
Ay, Providence is a merciful man, and I have hoped He'd have found it out by this time, living so many years in a parson's family, too, as I have, but 'a don't seem to relieve me. Ay, I be a poor wambling man, and life's a mint o' trouble! 'True, mournful true, William Worm. 'Tis so. The world wants looking to, or 'tis all sixes and sevens wi' us.
