I say, how long will your wrist keep you out of cricket?" "Be all right in a week. Less, probably." "Good." "Now that you and Smith are going to play, we ought to have a jolly good season." "Rummy, Smith turning out to be a cricketer." "Yes. I should think he'd be a hot bowler, with his height." "He must be jolly good if he was only just out of the Eton team last year." "Yes."
He paused impressively to allow this startling statement to sink in. "And was he?" said George. "Absolutely not! That was the rummy part of it. He looked as like you as your twin brother." "I haven't a twin brother." "No, I know what you mean, but what I mean to say is he looked just like your twin brother would have looked if you had had a twin brother.
Think we all private here now, though in Gold House never can be sure," and he looked round him suspiciously, adding, "rummy place, Gold House, full of all sort of holes made by old fellows thousand year ago, which no one know but Bonsa priests. Still, best risk it and take off your face so that you have decent wash," and he began to unlace the mask on his master's head.

"Well, the other morning I happened to be in his suite incidentally he wouldn't go above ten dollars, and I wanted twenty-five-and he suddenly picked up a whacking big paper-weight and bunged it for all he was worth."

This was a big man, and Billy was only a boy. That was the way he affected her.
We talked it over and came to the conclusion that it was an egg. Wanted to get hold of the rummy little object, don't you know, and surprise you." "Who's we?" "Lucille and I." "But how did you hear of it at all?" "Parker, the valet-chappie, you know, wrote me a letter about it." "Parker! Didn't he tell you that he had told me the figure was to be sold?" "Absolutely not!"
"The cruiser wants to get the transports out of harm's way, I should imagine," replied Wilmshurst. "By Jove, it's rummy how news spreads. The whole mess is coming on deck." The arrival of the colonel and almost all the other officers in various "fancy rig" proved the truth of Dudley's remark.
"None of your business, Charley Long. I've got a date, that's all." "I'll make it my business. Remember that lah-de-dah bookkeeper rummy? Well, just keep on rememberin' him an' what he got." "I wish you'd leave me alone," she pleaded resentfully. "Can't you be kind just for once?" The blacksmith laughed unpleasantly.
As I said to myself only last night as I got into bed 'What a thing is War! I said, 'an' o' what furious an' rummy things consistin' marches to an' fro, short commons, shootin's of cannon, rapes, an' other bloodthirsty goin's-on; an' here we be in the midst thereof!
"I know what you are, that's enough for me, and she knew it; that's one reason I got to caring for her. "I dare say that seems a rummy thing to you, to care for a woman because she cares for another man. But it's a fact." Winn moved uneasily.
