Maggie stared at him with open mouth for a moment and then asked in an awed whisper: "No; I didn't know that: did you?" "Never mind; the best thing you can do is to tend to bus'ness, for I'm not going to show you a bit of mercy." During this friendly chaffing, both noticed that the wind was rising.
Somebody ought to build a fire under you." Bob hesitated a moment; but he preferred that his good news should come to his father when Amy could be there, too. "I'm glad you like her, father," said he quietly. Orde looked at his son, and his voice fell from its chaffing tone. "Good luck, boy," said he, and leaned from his saddle to touch the young man on the shoulder.
This view of him was eventually accepted by every one who came to know him, and he was made the object of a good deal of gentle chaffing. He earned probably $15 or $20 at space rates, a lamentably small amount for so intellectual looking a man, but a very large amount considering the quality of work turned out by him.
He used to take me with him when we first came here, but he always went so far that I refused to go any more." She never once mentioned Woodroffe. I allowed her plenty of opportunity for doing so, chaffing her about her forthcoming marriage in order that she might again refer to him. But never did his name pass her lips. I understood that he had gone abroad that was all.
The blackbird is a perfect gentleman, in deportment and attire, and is not noisy, I believe, except when holding religious services and political conventions in a tree; but this Indian sham Quaker is just a rowdy, and is always noisy when awake always chaffing, scolding, scoffing, laughing, ripping, and cursing, and carrying on about something or other.

And Pan Chao is always chaffing him thereupon, though the good man takes no notice. We were not long before we had a few specimens of his monomania, for the doctor, like his pupil, spoke very good French.
A luminous night-scene is therefore compared to the shabi barat. I warrant you there were no "tickets of leave" granted in those blessed days. This means an impertinent, or rather a chaffing, question, like our own classic interrogation, "Does your mother know you'ra out?" It is incumbent on every good Musalman to pray five times in the twenty-four hours.

Boy shook her head. He laughed and drew his chair beside her as she worked. Not seldom now he doffed the Puritan with her, and became easy, chaffing, almost gallant.
What a yell burst from that sore and disgruntled bunch of ball tossers! My players were a grouchy set in practice anyway, and today they were in their meanest mood. "Hey, beanpole!"
