The two women watched Miss Mattie scudding blithely over the trail which, as she said, Roger had worn in the grass. Miriam looked after her gloomily, but Barbara was laughing. "Don't look so cross, Aunty," chided Barbara. "No one ever came here who was so easy to entertain." "Humph," grunted Miriam, and went out. But even Barbara sighed in relief when she was left alone.
"Yes, by heavens, they 've held 'im! They 've held 'im!" He began to blithely roar at his staff: "We 'll wallop 'im now. We 'll wallop 'im now. We 've got 'em sure." He turned suddenly upon an aid: "Here you Jones quick ride after Tompkins see Taylor tell him t' go in everlastingly like blazes anything."
Machin came leaping and bounding down the stairs as if by magic. She had heard his voice, and her joy at his entry into his abode caused her to forget her parlour-maidenhood and to exhibit a humanity which pained Mr. Brool, who had been brought up in the strictest traditions of flunkeyism. Her joy pleased Mr. Prohack and he felt better. "Good morning, Machin," said he, quite blithely.
Besides, such a complete retirement seemed to imply a satisfactory amount of trust in their officers, and to be trusted displeases no seaman worthy of the name. On my first voyage as chief mate with good Captain MacW- I remember that I felt quite flattered, and went blithely about my duties, myself a commander for all practical purposes.
"But wait a minute, didn't you buy this land? Didn't you put some money in it?" Steering laughed blithely. "Not much," he said. The thing that made him laugh was the fact that though it was not much it was all that he had, and it was, in a way, amusing to consider how he was to get away from Canaan.
"You ornery bird," he muttered, "I almost wish I'd wrung your neck when my brother the sailor brought you home. Will you never be done getting me into trouble?" Anne ran home blithely and recounted her adventures to Marilla, who had been not a little alarmed by her long absence and was on the point of starting out to look for her.
And very blithely, to cheat the last one of the little indigo spirits, the girl resolutely uptilted her chin, and began her day. It was not unlike the days that had gone before. There was the same apologetic rush in the morning, the same monotonous succession of buyers and near-buyers at the counter, the same glitter and sparkle and chatter the youth, and love, and laughter.
His step was springy, his lips were puckered, he was whistling blithely when he emerged, for at last those vaguely outlined plans that had been at the back of his mind had assumed form and pattern. His luck had turned, he had made a new start. Mallow was indeed a crook, and Gray blessed the prompt good fortune that had thrown both him and Coverly in his way.
"I would I knew what 'tis about!" he exclaimed, with all a boy's curiosity in such happenings. "Thou art the King!" solemnly responded the Earl, with a reverence. "Have I your Grace's leave to act?" "O blithely, yes!
I only know poor people, and Dr. Angus I'll get on better with third-class people." The doctor laughed at the implication, and was forced to give in. He told Aunt Janet that the third class was quite comfortable, though he really knew nothing about it. He had never been on an emigrant ship in his life. He arranged for a share in a two-berth cabin quite blithely.
