Jeff Campbell hated badly to think Melanctha never would give him love, just for his sake, and not because she needed it herself, to be with him. Such a way of loving would be very hard for Jeff to be enduring. "Jeff what makes you act so funny to me. Jeff you certainly now are jealous to me. Sure Jeff, now I don't see ever why you be so foolish to look so to me."

So our flight had troubled no one; all they did was to call the inhabitants to keep an eye on our movements all along the edge of the forest between the two points. It appeared that many of those nights we had been seen, by careful ladies sitting snugly in big trees by the riverbed, or up among the rocks. Terry looked immensely disgusted, but it struck me as extremely funny.

Wasn't it funny to think of calling that 'teaching?" And then this volatile young lady laughed. But her moralizing had done Marion good.

Yes, Thorn had eloped with her and they were married the next morning in Nacogdoches. And the funny thing about it was, Curly never met her after his return until the night they eloped.

I was tired of being in the circus so much and doing funny tricks.” “Butbutwhat makes you so tall?” asked Mr. No-Tail. “Oh, those are wooden stilts on my legs,” said the giant. “They make me as tall as a clothes post, these stilts do.”

He never came without giving me half-a-guinea before he left, generally slipping it down the back of my neck, or hiding it under my plate at dinner, or burying it in an orange. He had a whole store of funny tricks, which would have amused and pleased me if I might have enjoyed them in peace. But he never ceased teasing me, and playing practical jokes on me.

She felt emboldened to remark, with an air of ease: "Oh, Saunders, don't forget to lay the spoons when you serve the demi-tasses." Mr. Brown laughed. "Oh, say!" he chortled, "you ARE funny when you hand out that highfalutin stuff!" No; he surely hadn't meant admiration for her savoir-faire; yet, for some reason, Missy didn't feel disappointed.

But was he an Englishman, an American or " Tom paused and waited for an answer. "I think he were a Frenchman," spoke Eradicate. "I done didn't see him eat no frogs' laigs, but he smoked a cigarette dat had a funny smell, and he suah was monstrous polite. He suah was a Frenchman. I think." Tom and Ned laughed at Eradicate's description of the man, but Tom's face was soon grave again.
