"I hope I won't fall into the water," he observed disarmingly. "I may if you speak to me too severely. See here, Melisande, why did you go and be all engaged to the worthy Dr. Hewitt? You had four or five good years of fun ahead of you if you hadn't." "I mustn't listen to you, if you talk that way," Joy told him quietly. "Oh, you'd better," said Clarence with placidity. "I'm very interesting."
Maybe he believes in 'em." "No, he doesn't. Besides he's gone out walking with Sister Sallie. Come on, let's have a catch. Where's your ball?" "I didn't bring it," replied Sammie. "But we can have some fun playing in this hole I've dug."
It's awful fun he's going to have some pigeon-shooting. Ernest's countenance fell a little, and he answered in a graver voice than before, 'If that's what you want to go for, Lynmouth, I certainly can't let you go. You shall never have leave from me to go pigeon-shooting. 'Why not? Lynmouth asked, still holding the door-handle at the most significant angle.
How many a felony has been committed here, merely to scoff at him and his creatures, and to keep them on the alert! We are a light-headed race.

Benton used to get drunk and when he was that way he'd beat me, just for the fun of it, it seemed to me.

When he had arranged them on a little table before her, Fun signified in pantomime that they were hers, from her uncle.

You know I would not!" she exclaimed. "I do believe the girl has fallen in love with the horrid man! Of the two, I declare, I like the ploughman better. I am sorry I happened to vex him; he is a good stupid sort of fellow!
I haven't done anything wrong, Quin! I was just out for a little fun, and that contemptible puppy thought " "I wish to God I'd cracked his bean!" said Quin fervently. "Promise me that you won't tell!" "I won't tell, but I intend to have it out with him." "No, no!" she whispered hysterically. "I tell you, nothing more must be said about it.
