At the Cercle Bouganville Captain Goeltz and the other retired salts banged the tables and said to me: "Sacré redingote! is it that the indigènes pay the governor or give him fish free? Are we French citizens to die of hunger that savages may ride in les Fords?" They shouted for Doctor Funks, and drank damnation to the régime that let patriots surfer to profit les canaques.
"You know what this is ... a bomb.... Come and collar me now, you swine! ... Hands up, you ... Guerchard!" "You silly funks!" roared Guerchard. "Do you think he'd dare?" "Come and see!" cried Lupin. "I will!" cried Guerchard. And he took a step forward. As one man his detectives threw themselves upon him.
Ricardo, with his voluptuously gleaming eyes and the coy expression, looked so much like a cat that Schomberg would have felt all the alarm of a mouse if other feelings had not had complete possession of his breast. "There are no lies between you and me," he said, more steadily than he thought he could speak. "What's the good now? He funks women.
He is not AFRAID, that's clear; that sort never funks! H'm! champagne! That was an interesting item of news, at all events! Twelve bottles! Dear me, that's a very respectable little stock indeed! I bet anything Lebedeff lent somebody money on deposit of this dozen of champagne. Hum! he's a nice fellow, is this prince! I like this sort of man.
I think we ought to have given Stenson a week time to communicate with America and send a mission to France." "We are like all theorists," Furley declared moodily, stopping to relight his pipe. "We create and destroy on palter with amazing facility. When it comes to practice, we are funks." "Are you funking this?" Julian asked bluntly. "How can any one help it?
It's most cruel and wrong of him." "He can't do anything else. Don't you see why he wants to go? He can't stand the place without Father." "I've got to stand it. So he may." "Well, he won't, that's all. He simply funks it." "He always was an arrant coward where trouble was concerned. He doesn't think of other people and how bad it is for them. He leaves me when I want him most."
Then again, if his feet are not in a hard and sound condition, he "funks" the pain of landing over a fence and tries his best to avoid jumping. Many unsound horses, generally hirelings, are hammered along out hunting, especially on roads, with most inconsiderate cruelty. I once tried to hunt on a hireling which, I soon saw, was not in a fit state to carry me without pain.
He was a patrol guard, on a visiting tour of the outlying stations. His news was peaceful enough. "I don't care a cuss how long the old man keeps the funks," he said, with a cheery laugh. "I give it you right here, this job's a snap. I ride around like a gen'l spyin' fer enemies. Guess Red Mask has his uses." "So's most folk," responded Arizona, "but 'tain't allus easy to locate."
"A nice name we shall get, all of us," said Bullinger, "when it gets abroad all over the school." "It's a shame, because one fellow funks, for the whole Form to be disgraced; that's what I say," said some one else. There were, however, two boys who did not join in this general cry of indignation against Oliver, and they were Wraysford and Pembury.
The rain will only make it jollier, and those who mind getting wet are funks. With the wind blowing in gusts, and sudden showers splashing down from all the roofs, the game promised some fun. Dr. MacGregor's was a first-rate place for hide-and-seek, with a number of outhouses built round a paved court, and the ruins of an old castle overlooking the garden.
