"A Canary-Bird on a Rainbow wouldn't be so bad," asserted the Tin Owl, winking and blinking with his round tin eyes, "so if you can manage to find your Rainbow again you need have little to worry about." "That's nonsense, Friend Chopper," exclaimed Woot. "I know just how Polychrome feels.
The next minute he was out of sight; then I rubbed my eyes and pinched my arms to make sure I was awake." "And whether you saw a ghost, or whether you didn't," came the mocking retort. "It was no ghost, Gum; it was Lord Hartledon himself." "Nonsense! It was just as much one as the other. The fact is, you hadn't quite woke up out of that fine dream of yours, and you saw double.
When she saw Coupeau out of danger Gervaise allowed his family to approach him as they saw fit. His convalescence would be a matter of months. This again was a ground of indignation for Mme Lorilleux. "What nonsense it was," she said, "for Gervaise to take him home! Had he gone to the hospital he would have recovered as quickly again."
"I do not know of any reason why you should warn me, above all other men, that it is dangerous to cross Miss Holt's path," he said.

"Nonsense!" snorted Uncle Isaac.
Involuntarily Maurice looked at the speaker, feeling that this must be mere cant. It struck him as nonsense, yet one glance at the serene, honest face of the deacon who spoke, with its tender, candid eyes, like those of a pure girl, was enough to convince him of the entire sincerity of the words.
Your aunt the old one, I think it was asked me, if I was passing, to bring you these overshoes. She was afraid you had none, and would take cold." He laughed again, as though he knew how amusing such nonsense was, and then had a gleam of surprise at Gifford's gravity. "I'd gone to her house with a message from my mother," he continued; "you know we get off to-morrow.
"Get her off, if you have to advance a quarter. I'd rather do anything than send her back for even a week, to have all manner of nonsense put into her head. I'd sooner go and teach there myself." "Or send me?" asked his mother. "Anything short of that," he said. Miss Heath, as Mrs.
"Oh, bless you, yes," cried Jimmy, jauntily. "Sid would have done the same for me. But he is luckier in having you than in having his friend, although I don't deny I've been a good friend to him.
