"I say, farver, I'm sorry I acted so silly. You never see me blub afore and you won't again," he said; and Beale said awkwardly, "That's all right, mate." "You pretty flush?" the boy asked later on. "Not so dusty," said the man. "'Cause I wanter give that there little box to a chap I know wot lent me the money for the train to come to you at Gravesend."
'Member that. I'll tickle you up with a stump. You'll have to blub, Beetle." "Right O! I'll work up to it in half a shake," said Beetle. "Now begin and remember the bleatin' o' the kid." "Shut up, you brutes! Let me up! You've nearly cut my knees off. Oh, you are beastly cads! Do shut up. 'Tisn't a joke!" Beetle's protest was, in tone, a work of art. "Give it to him, Turkey! Kick him!
Keyse with his elbow. "An' look at 'er! Doin' a blub on the strength of it! That's wot it is to be a woman! Ain't it, sir?" Saxham's keen glance took in the altered shape of the thin girl in the mended jacket and the large and feathered hat that topped the colossal structure of fair, frizzled hair, even as she dried her eyes with a twopenny handkerchief edged with cotton lace, and tried to laugh.
"I was in the study, doin' a simply lovely poem about the Jelly-Bellied Flag-Flapper, an' Stalky came in, an' I said 'Hullo! an' he cursed me like a bargee, and then he began to blub like anything. Shoved his head on the table and howled. Hadn't we better do something?" McTurk was troubled. "P'raps he's smashed himself up somehow."
When he had shut the study door, in sheer despair of spirit, he laid his head on the table and Well, did he blub? All I know is, the Rev. E. Taylor knocked at the door once, twice, thrice, and Todd heard him not. The house master came in and surveyed the bowed form of poor Gus with a good-natured smile, tempered with some scorn.
"And," cried Fitz, elated with his own humor, "it isn't on the duck's back." "Are you yourself to-day," asked Miss Eve, her eyes filling, "or are you just unusually horrid?" "Here I say don't blub," said Fitz, in real alarm. And, knowing the power of money to soothe, he pulled a twenty-franc gold piece from his pocket and himself opened and closed one of her tiny hands upon it.
His words filled my throat with a lump. "Would blub, if you could, but can't, eh?" The question nearly brought the tears welling into my eyes. He watched them swell, and said: "As a doctor, I should tell you to try and blub, but, as an old public-schoolboy, I should say 'Try not to. Do which you like, old man. Both are right. I'll not stay to see."
Like to see them sitting round in a ring with blub lips, entranced, listening. Still life. Lap it up like milk, I suppose. The cold smell of sacred stone called him. He trod the worn steps, pushed the swingdoor and entered softly by the rere. Something going on: some sodality. Pity so empty. Nice discreet place to be next some girl. Who is my neighbour? Jammed by the hour to slow music.
"Well, then, he's lost," Alice said, making the ugly face that means you are going to blub in half a minute. Every one had sprung to their feet. Even Noël and H.O. saw at once what a doddering game Halma is, and Dora and Dicky, whatever their faults, care more for Pincher than for boxes and screws. Because Pincher is our fox-terrier.
He flung his cap on to the peg, and himself on to his seat, in an unusually agitated manner, and then, to the astonishment of everybody, broke out into tears! This was a rare and glorious opportunity, of course, for Bramble. "Beastly young blub-baby!" exclaimed that doughty hero, "you're always blubbing! I never knew such a fellow to blub, did you, Padger?"
