"Kill him! Kill the Umpire!" shouted someone from the stand -
And it's likely they'd have done it had not Casey raised his hand. (Ernest Thayer)

I know that big people don't like questions from children. They can ask all the questions they like, How's school? Are you a good boy? Did you say your prayers? but if you ask them did they say their prayers you might be hit on the head.
