"No, ma'am; oh, no, ma'am!" The old man stumbled forward and began to arrange the knives and forks. "It's just a pesky pain beggin' yer pardon in my side. But I ain't sick. No, Miss ma'am." Billy frowned and shook her head. Her eyes were on Pete's palpably trembling hands. "But, Pete, you are sick," she protested. "Let Eliza do that." Pete drew himself stiffly erect.
Johnny lay quietly on his back with a neat, white bandage around his head. His eyes were closed, his face was placid with the inscrutable calm of death or deep unconsciousness. The next day it was the same, and the day after that except that his cheeks began to hollow a little, and his eye sockets to deepen and darken. And that pesky nurse wouldn't let Mary V stay in the room two minutes!
Dunlop, eagerly. "I'm all there are," explained Jim, "except one pesky little puffer of cigarettes. He's hiding his stained fingers somewhere in the brush half a mile from here." "There are no more men to your crowd?" spoke Dr. Dunlop anxiously. "None," Tom broke in. "My order to the boy, Drew, was intended by way of conversation to interest your four callers."
No Jerushy! a love story! Why, Issy! I didn't know you was in love. Who's the lucky girl? Send me an invite to your weddin', won't you?" Issy's face was a fiery red. He tore the precious volume from its desecrator's hand, losing the pictured cover in the struggle. "You you pesky fool!" he shouted. "You mind your own business." The blacksmith roared in glee. "Oh, ho!" he cried.
As we know, he was a good deal of a coward at heart, and the sight of the shotgun in Snap's hands made him quake. "Don't shoot me!" he whined. "Please don't shoot me!" And he held up his hands in token of submission. "So you are the pesky rascal the lads was a-tellin' me about," said Aaron Masterson, sternly. "Nice doin's, I must say!"
But here is a weapon by which one girl has conquered destiny," and she brandished the roller with which she had been pressing out the dough, "and I, too, shall find a sword which will cut all the pesky knots of this snarled-up old world. Then when I have achieved complete and lofty victory and independence, as you have, dear, I may say to the lover around the corner, 'Step this way, sir.
We've been the laughing stock of the whole town because of our pesky meanness. That tent of ours has stuck out on the landscape like a horse fly on a pillow sham. "It's not my business to tell how the rector and his wife have had to economize and suffer, to get along at all; or how nice and uncomplainin' they've been through it all.
"He took our boat and ran off with it." "Well, I vow! Ain't he the pesky rascal, though! Wot be yeou boys a-goin' tew do neow?" "We want to get another boat, if possible, and follow him. Do you know where a boat can be had?" "Yes; Ike Welby has a boat. His farm is the next one down from mine. I'll go along. I want to catch him ez much as yeou do."
"Is there a man named Joel Barton living hereabouts?" he asked. The station master took his cigar from his mouth and surveyed his questioner with some curiosity. "Does he owe you money?" he inquired. "No," answered Ford, impatiently. "Will you answer my question?" "You needn't be in such a pesky hurry," drawled the station master. "Yes, he lives up the road a piece." "How far is a piece?"

"Jebel Musa!" shouted the commander a couple of hours later; and the party gathered around him again.
