"You keep silence till an innocent man is almost hanged for your misdeeds, and now have the brazen effrontery to say it makes no difference." "Is Mr. Penreath innocent?" "Nobody should know that better than you." "Then who murdered Mr. Glenthorpe?" "Let us have no more of this fooling, Benson." Superintendent Galloway's voice was very stern. "You have already admitted that you carried Mr.
Then someone struck a match and presently, by the light of a candle, he saw Clifford and Elliott, and farther back in the shade another form which he thought he knew. Clifford began, "Here you are! We thought you were dead killed through my infernal fooling." He turned very red, and stammered, "Tell him, Elliott."
At the word from the officer, the soldiers tore off my pack, opened my coat, examined the rings on my tunic which were, fortunately, of the durable red paint, guaranteed not to crock or run. I thought for sure they would search me, which I did not fear at all, for my maps I considered safe, but I did not want them fooling around me too much, for my cocoa rings would not stand any rough treatment.
"You ornery scamp!" he said, almost under his breath. "You try to scare that little girl, and I'll break you in two!" Nan was horrified. She begged Tom to let his brother alone. "I was only fooling her," snarled Rafe, rubbing his injured shoulder, for Tom had the grip of a pipe wrench.
Long Ede murmured: "Take us the foxes, the little foxes . . ." "I believe you're right," the Gaffer announced cheerfully. "A bear would sniff louder though there's no telling. The snow was falling an hour back, and I dessay 'tis pretty thick outside.

Gradually at Rome this exquisite fooling has degenerated under the influence of modern notions, till the bouquets having become cabbage stalks, very effective as offensive missiles, and the bonbons plaster of Paris pellets, with an accompanying substitution of a spiteful desire to inflict injury for the old horse-play, it has become necessary to limit the duration of the Saturnalia to the briefest span, with the sure prospect of its being very shortly altogether prohibited.
He was busy with thoughts of his own. This bland fooling in municipal matters while stealthy death, protected by city franchise, dripped, so he believed, from every faucet in the tenement-house district, stirred his bitter indignation. Etienne Provancher stood beside him, and the old man did not laugh, either, because he did not understand in the least what those men were talking about.
Now, when Keawe was in the street, with the bottle under his arm, he began to think. "If all is true about this bottle, I may have made a losing bargain," thinks he. "But perhaps the man was only fooling me." The first thing he did was to count his money; the sum was exact forty-nine dollars American money, and one Chili piece. "That looks like the truth," said Keawe.
Then there was the mighty Senate and the Roman People again on the mystic communication with its cryptic letters as full of mystery as runes to these Germans. It was, of course, the language of a code. "Tell him that there is no such thing in the world as the Roman Senate and People," explained Deming with nervous despair. "That was just fooling. Nothing political nothing political!" he exclaimed.
"Lan' sakes, if that ain't the limit!" she chuckled. "Well, what do you mean by that?" bridled Miss Dorothy, looking not exactly pleased. "Nothin'. It's only that I was jest a-thinkin' how you was foolin' him." "Fooling him?" Miss Dorothy was looking decidedly not pleased now. "Yes, an' you all the time Dorothy Parkman, an' he not knowin' it."
