"Hi!" shouted Robin, turning on him with a scowl. "You're not supposed to cheer anybody, d' you understand? You're only an umpire." "Outburst of excitement, Kid," apologised the umpire complacently. "Couldn't help it. Forty thirty. Get busy." "He called him 'kid," whispered one of the young girls to the other. "Well I heard the Prince call Mr.
Then at last I said mournfully, `Haven't you brought me a cadeau, Jim? I looked forward to a cadeau. Is there nothing you want to give me? He apologised profusely, said there had been no time before catching the train, but if there was anything at all that I fancied when he went back to town he would be only too charmed.
Titus, after thanking me warmly and I think sincerely for all that I had done for Aline, apologised in a perfunctory sort of way for having kept me out of my bed all night, and hoped that I wouldn't catch cold or have an attack of rheumatism. I soon awoke to the fact that she was in the habit of centralising attention.
"That is one of the many things I have apologised for. You surely do not wish to taunt me with it again?" "Oh, I don't mean the recent accident. I mean being here in America. Your sketches of the Shawenegan Falls, and your description of the Quebec district, brought me out to America; and, added to that I expected to meet you." "To meet me?" "Certainly.

A chief named Waka-Nene with his men kept Heke in check, while Fitzroy sent to Sydney and received 160 soldiers with two cannon. These landed at the Bay of Islands, but Waka-Nene begged the Governor not to hurry into hostilities. He arranged for a friendly meeting. Fitzroy met nine principal chiefs, who apologised and made Heke send also a written apology.
Salim Daucari apologised for Mr. Park, and promised to accompany him to Kooniakary. They accordingly departed from Soolo at sunset, and in about an hour entered Kooniakary, but as the king had gone to sleep, the interview was deferred till the next morning, and the travellers slept in the hut of Sambo Sego. On the ensuing morning Mr.
"I haf almost forgot that," she apologised as she nibbled her brioche, "Emma was so happy. But for the bothersome St. Michael there is no change. I saw it in what she calls her new den. She laughed to me and said, 'I cannot let him have it, you see, you would all say he married me for it."
"What have you been doing all morning?" "I've been in here for the last half-hour reading," answered the other, carelessly. "Wool market, I suppose?" "No, the hansom cab murder." "Oh, d that thing!" said Brian, hastily; then, seeing his companion looking at him in surprise, he apologised.
Most of the company were pressing round Heinz Schorlin with jests and questions, but bluff Count von Montfort warmly clasped Els's hand, while he apologised for the bold jest of his young daughter who, in spite of her recklessness, meant kindly. Nothing could have been more unwelcome to a girl in so unpleasant a situation than this delay.
