"Wants its back broke with a good lot of eggshell," said a short, stout man with a snuff-colored coat, the collar well up the back of his head. "Ach!" murmured Schmidt. "The back to be hurt with eggshell! What hath he of meaning?" "Pshaw!" said a third: "give it a little rest, and then the white of an egg to every five gallons. Is it bual?" "Is it gruel?" said our senior sarcastically.
"Pshaw!" said Mela, one morning when she came to breakfast, "I reckon if we was to send up an old card of Mr. Beaton's she'd rattle down-stairs fast enough. If she's sick, she's love-sick. It makes me sick to see her." Mela was talking to Mrs. Mandel, but her father looked up from his plate and listened.
"I tell you what, Guy, you must have done with that girl before Lucy shall be yours. It's bad enough bad enough that she should be compelled to look to you for love. It were a sad thing if the little she might expect to find were to be divided between two or more." "Pshaw you are growing Puritan because of the dark. I tell you I have done with her.
"Well, keep near Hal, Bobby. I don't like your crossing the railroad track." Bobby bounded out to the back yard in high glee, waving the lacrosse stick. "Mother says I can go, too," he shouted, jumping down the steps in a manner that made Tiger and Topsy rise up indignantly and move to one side. "O pshaw!" cried his brother, hammering a nail rather viciously.
Cap'n Bill growled something just then, but the only words Trot could make out were, "never lived to tell the tale." "Oh, pshaw, Cap'n," she said. "We may be in danger, right enough, an' to be honest, I don't like the looks of these sea devils at all. But I'm sure it's no KILLING matter, for we've got the fairy circles all around us." "Ha ha!" laughed the monster beside her.
They figured they'd inherited all there was to know about live stock, and they grew plumb arrogant over their wisdom. But pshaw! They didn't know nothing. Miz Austin has bred in that Brayma strain and made steers so big they run four to the dozen. And here's the remarkable thing about 'em they 'ain't got as many ticks as you gentlemen."
It seemed very strange to imagine Alison a mother; and yet, while he thought, Angus Rothesay almost laughed at himself for his folly. His boyish fancy had perforce faded at seventeen, and he was now pshaw! he was somewhere above forty. As for Mrs. Gwynne, sixty would probably be nearer her age. Yet, not having seen her since she married, he never could think of her but as Alison Balfour.
Fanny, let us pledge each other: stay: a toast! What shall it be?" "Hope till old age, and Memory afterwards," said Fanny, smiling. "Pshaw! theatricals still, Fan?" growled Saville, who had placed a large screen between himself and the window; "no sentiment between friends."
If any Injuns are at hand, they'd be hiding along the river." "Oh, pshaw!" laughed the captain. "We're safe enough. I'll get you back to Lizzie. Don't you worry yourself." "Lizzie" was the lieutenant's bride, at Fort Riley. He had left her for the first time since they were married.
"Not big enough," said the hunter, in reply to the question; while he turned to the fish with an impatient "Pshaw! what work the cretur makes of it! Hop off, hop off, you fool! There," he added, as the trout at length broke away and disappeared, "there, that is right.
