Frank Nelsen joshed. "Like other Bunches, I guess," Paul Hendricks laughed. "A couple of moving vans should do the trick..." On June first, ten days before blastoff, David Lester came back to the shop, sheepishness, pleasure and worry showing in his face. "I cleared up matters at home, guys," he said. "And I went to Minneapolis and obtained one of these."
"It's Christmas, and I ain't brought his whiskey." "Why, what's the matter?" joshed Wiley. "Why didn't you deliver it? Did you get caught in a sandstorm, or what?" "Yes, a sandstorm," answered Charley, solemnly. "It came down the valley like a wall. And my burros got away; but the Colonel, he found me I was digging a hole in the sand." "Say, where are these Ube-Hebes?" broke in Wiley impulsively.
The chum's brother had written twice, however; exuberant letters full of current comedy and full-blooded cheerfulness and safely vague sentiment which he had partly felt at the time he wrote. He had "joshed" Helen May a good deal about the goats, even to the extent of addressing her as "Dear Goat-Lady" in the last letter, with the word "Lady" underscored and scrawled the whole width of the page.
From washing the town's soiled linen to loaning it money was a change so sudden and radical that the rise made him dizzy; he was apt, therefore, to be a little erratic, his manner varying during a single conversation from the cold austerity of a bloodless capitalist to the free and easy democracy of the days when he had stood in the doorway of his laundry in his undershirt and "joshed" the passersby.
Grant joshed his mate roughly, once or twice, masking beneath an assumption of jocularity his own vague irritation at the change that had come over them. It was as if he had probed at an open wound with clumsy fingers.
I'm sorry, Joe; you and I were getting on together pretty well, weren't we?" "Yes," answered Joe sadly. And then he became reminiscent and asked whether Kenneth remembered the way they kicked the furniture around that first evening and how Kenneth had joshed Grafton Hyde. When they at last went to bed Kenneth found himself unable to sleep. Eleven o'clock struck on the town clock.
He crossed directly to Anderson and thrust out his palm. "Old man, I want to shake with you," said he. "And I want to apologize for being a rotter." Paul met him half-way, and the fellow went on: "Burns gave us the wrong tip on you said you were a joke that's why we joshed you. But you showed us up, and I'm glad you did."
As we approached it coming down a forested mountain side three or four men were seen among the trees on the farther side of the stream. Presently they called their dogs, which began to bark; then our Bontoc Igorot Constabulary escort "joshed" the supposed enemy by loudly caning dogs and hogs.
"Why, I sat there all the time the cobbler was working at the same, having accompanied Hen to the shoemaker's shop," continued Landy. "What's more I joshed him about the fine and dandy track he made every time he stepped in some half-hard mud that day after he left the shop. Oh! I'm as sure of this footprint as I am that my name's Landy Smith."
She lifted me one in the jeans and I like to lost all the teeth in my head. 'You're welcome, lady, says I, 'for this here 'fectionate token of thanks for my nussin' and gettin' joshed to fare-ye-well. Bein' set on learnin' her, I shortened the rope and let her kick a few holes in the climate. When she got tired of that, I begins workin' on her head, easy-like and talkin' kind.
