As I don't want to talk to a growly bear, I think, if you'll excuse me from polite conversation, I'll meditate for awhile." "Meditate on your sins; it'll do you good!"

Oh, would some power the giftie gi'e us!"

In vain Jerry tried it on the lady-god. Sitting squatted on his haunches, his head bowed forward and held between her hands, he would talk and talk and elicit never a responsive word from her. With tiny whines and thin whimperings, with whiffs and whuffs and growly sorts of noises down in his throat, he would try to tell her somewhat of his tale.

Listen to me, chief kicker: If you've got a horse on the ranch I can't ride I'll quit right now and give you my job! How's that strike you? I tell you the word on this ranch is going to be: 'Put up or shut up! Which is it, Growly?" Again the men laughed and Hannon's face showed his anger. "Mean that, lady?" he demanded briefly.

All things considered, he resolved to face the bovine thunderbolt with unflinching front, like a true-blue British tar! His coolness in the circumstances was evinced by the remarks muttered to himself in a growly tone as the bull approached. "Three futt that'll be enough.

This freckled, clear-eyed youngster, with straight yellow hair and good red cheeks, was just an honest, growly boy, who dropped his clothes about on the floor of his room, and whined over his lessons, and blustered largely when out of his mother's hearing; furthermore, he had already experienced his first stogie with a consequent pallor about the gills that scared Mrs. Richie nearly to death.

"The brave one's here with his back to me. He's strong and heavy, I think, because his voice is growly, and he sits back hard now and then, and I can feel the partition bulge a little. And then he keeps fiddling with something that clicks." "Clicks? How? Like the hammer of an empty gun?" asked Dick, puzzled. The girl leaned forward and touched the spring lock of the carriage door.

Nettie, his little sister, who was running to meet her brother, carrying in her arms a Rag Doll, stopped when Arthur began to open the bundle he had carried from Mr. Mugg's store. "I don't like growly bears!" she exclaimed. "Oh, this bear is nice! He's a Plush Bear," Arthur said. "He wobbles his head and he jiggles his paws, and he growls, but it's only a make-believe growl.

Then in the scudding, transitory shadow of a growly thunder-cloud she reined in suddenly, waited patiently till Barton's panting horse was nose and nose with hers, and then, pushing her slouch hat back from her low, curl-fringed forehead, jogged listlessly along beside him with her pale olive face turned inquiringly to his drenched, beet-colored visage.

Arty and he get up picnics, and when we're out on the Palisades he says to me you know, sometimes he almost makes me think he is sleepy, though I do believe he just sneaks off under a tree and talks to Mrs. Arty or reads a magazine but I was saying: he always says to me, 'Well, sister, I suppose you want to mousey round and dream by yourself you won't talk to a growly old bear like me.
