Young muller, couldn't steer a tub." "I'll tub you, young Pilbury, see if I don't, presently," replied Telson. "Never mind them," shouted King, "can't even make up a boat; pack of funks, all of them!" "Hullo! who are you?" cried Philpot, rounding on these new assailants. "We'd have a boat, never fear, if there was any chance of fair play."

"I'd pray to have you much more like the ordinary woman who funks raw-head-and-bloody-bones if I thought it would be any good!" "My poor old boy, it's thirty years too late. You ought to have begun while I was crying in the cradle. And I was under the impression that you married me because you found me different from the ruck. And besides think of my paper!" "Damn the rag! I think of my wife!"

"I never thought of Aldershot for you before. It's a jolly good idea. I believe you'd have a chance. And it's all right about Stanning. He's not going down. Haven't you heard?" "I don't hear anything. Why isn't he going down?" "He's knocked up one of his wrists. So he says." "How do you mean so he says?" asked Sheen. "I believe he funks it." "Why? What makes you think that?" "Oh, I don't know.

Thank you, Sir. And a halfnarfnarf!" The reverend divine had said, "And a half." The Peter Funks had got him! But he didn't find it out quite yet. The bidding was run up to four dollars; the clergyman took the watch, opened and examined it; was convinced, handed it back, ventured another half, and the watch was knocked down to him.

All right; then I'll go back and tell the North Grammar fellows that Central funks. "There's a way that we can arrange it, I think," put in Dave Darrin, who had been listening intently. "Dick, why can't we get Old Dut to authorize us to represent Central Grammar within a day or two after graduation?

You funks!" She abused her partner: "And you, you said nothing. Your heart was in your mouth; you held out your bottom to be kicked. You would have thanked them for it! Aren't you ashamed?... Aren't you all ashamed? You are not men! You're as brave as sheep with your noses to the ground all the time! He had to give you an example!

"I am sick of the whole affair," Gordon said petulantly. "Rudd called the lot of us funks, so " "I know that tale quite well," Tester broke in. "I want to know why you went out. At least I don't mean that. I mean to tell you why you went out, because I don't think you know yourself. You have made an awful fool of yourself.

A third objected that we ran the risk of losing ourselves if we left the path, that night was near, and that there were plenty of wolves about. "Come on, you funks!" I cried in a princely tone, pushing forward the guide; "follow the path, and have done with this nonsense." "Not me," said the youngster.

I 'll tell you: my Olmer doctor that 's an impudent fellow who rode by staring into my carriage. The window's down. He could see without pushing his hat in. Weyburn looked out after a man cantering on. 'A Mr. Morsfield, he said. 'I thought it was he when I saw him go by. I've met him at the fencing-rooms. He 's one of the violent fencers, good for making his point, if one funks an attack.

Yes, that's it, he was planning it.... He knows I won't go away without killing him if he funks it himself so that he would have to kill me first to prevent my killing him.... And again, again there is silence. I am really frightened: he may open the door all of a sudden.... The nuisance of it is that he believes in God like any priest.... He won't shoot himself for anything!
