Do you think one man could capture a ship, Mr. Maurice?" "No, but one hundred might." "Nonsense! What could they do against the soldiers? There are fifty soldiers." "So there are, but " "But what?" "Well, never mind. It's against the rules, and I won't have it." "'Not according to the King's Regulations, as Captain Vickers would say." Frere laughed at her imitation of his pompous captain.
"How would it be," said Mr. Cooper, turning to his sister, and speaking with unusual distinctness "how would it be if you opened the door, and just as he put his head out I hit it a crack with the poker?" "You try it on," said the voice behind the door, hotly. "You know who I am well enough, Bob Cooper. I don't want any more of your nonsense. Milly has put you up to this!"
Monte-Cristo embraced the excited child and reassuringly murmured: "Keep quiet, Spero, I am with you." Monte-Cristo looked thoughtful. Suppose his boy should be taken from him? No, it was nonsense. Spero must have been dreaming. "Spero," he said, turning to the child, "I shall watch over your slumbers! Lie down again and have no fear. Come, I will kiss you; think of your mother and go to sleep."
Then Gagool again sprang to and fro, gradually drawing nearer and nearer to ourselves. "Hang me if I don't believe she is going to try her games on us," ejaculated Good in horror. "Nonsense!" said Sir Henry. As for myself, when I saw that old fiend dancing nearer and nearer, my heart positively sank into my boots. I glanced behind us at the long rows of corpses, and shivered.
At which point Jacqueline insisted that Modeste should be silent, and answered, resolutely: "I mean never to marry at all." To this Modeste made answer: "That's another of your notions. The worst husband is always better than none; and I know, for I never married." "That's why you talk such nonsense, my poor dear Modeste! You know nothing about it."
Bertha had been something of a sucker for astrology and had found he was born under that sign before she agreed to their little good-by party. He snorted to himself. It had done her a heck of a lot of good, which was to be expected of such nonsense. They passed down a dim corridor and Ser Perth turned in at a door.
"For their own sakes, I don't. Put that to my credit. I'll have but one mistress only as the sand gets low. I've been true to her." "You, true to anything!" "The world has said so." "Nonsense! You couldn't be." "Visit my new picture in three months my biggest thing. You will say my mistress fares well at my hands." "Mere talk.
Alec asked. "No, Sahib," said Tippoo. "It is a churail, an evil spirit that eats dead men, and it wants the body of Piroo." "Nonsense," Alec replied. "It is true, Sahib. Many have seen it at work in the graveyards of the Mussulman, but to-night no one may see it but the elephant." Alec laughed.
It's all very well when he is a boy. But we'll all go to New York to-morrow night and we'll see that dance." "There is a great deal to do," Anna Carroll remarked. "Nonsense!" said the major. "There's time enough. Where are the Sunday papers? I'll see if it is on to-morrow. Have they come yet?" "I am going down to get shaved, and I will bring them up," Carroll said.
If we had given some silly nonsense, I assure you, the theatre would have been overcrowded. To-morrow we'll put Orpheus in Hades on. Do come." Whatever Kukin said about the theatre and the actors, she repeated. She spoke, as he did, with contempt of the public, of its indifference to art, of its boorishness.
