They wanted to jump right in, but I says: "Don't you do it.
"It's better for you officers, who don't have to lay out on the yards when they jump under you like a mad horse, than for us." "I suppose I shall have a chance to try it next term." "Why so?" "I lost twenty marks last night. I got mad, lighted the lamp, and smoked a cigar in my state room." "Will the loss of the twenty marks throw you over?" "Yes? I'm a goner!" added Pelham, with a smile.
"It was the darkness that frightened me," Strong explained feebly. "If I hadn't let go my torch to hold on with both hands, I don't think I would have minded so much. But the darkness hid what was below and it just seemed as though they were right after me. I'd have been a goner sure if it hadn't been for good old Ambrosio," and he laid his hand affectionately on the ape's head.
But mostly I was thinking about the fun we'd have presenting Skinny to the Elks, and, oh, boy, I could just see Mr. Ellsworth laugh with that funny laugh he has trying not to. And you can bet I was glad we had Skinny started. Because when a fellow once gets on the trail, he's a goner. Oh, bibbie, that was going to be some meeting!

I must soon git; for if the old lady catches me I'm a goner." Suiting the action to the words Moses made his exit, carrying in his hand a sheet of paper which, on gaining the door, he folded and thrust into his bosom. "Where's N'h'miar gone, Bill?"

"Certain sure," I said. "He's a goner without a doubt, and 'twill take a miracle ever to get to the bottom of this." I was reminded of them words a fortnight later, for it did take a miracle to find the shocking truth. In fact you may say it took two. And one without the other might just as well not have happened. And 'tis no good saying the days of miracles be passed, because they ban't.
So he got a suit of flame new clothes out of her and a new hat into the bargain; and then I said that he'd soon be a goner. But I was wrong, for he stopped and went down to Huccaby Chapel for holy service twice a Sunday; and what's more he kept it up.
"He might be a goner if that girl should be after him before we get under way," suggested the captain. "However, we'll soon be off." "Good luck to you, old friend," said John, as he shook hands with Benjamin. "We shall be nigh each other, though three hundred miles apart."
We cast off when yer went overboard, and cruised about in the fog hunting fer yer. Who was it yer was fightin' with, sir?" "LeVere." "That's what I told the lads. He's a goner, I reckon?" "I never saw him after we sank. Are all the men here?" "All but those in the forward boat, sir. They got away furst, an' we ain't had no sight ov 'em since. Maybe we will when it gets daylight."
