"I said Whopper couldn't help telling a yarn." "And such a one, too!" added Giant. "And of course we all believe it," came from the doctor's son. "Well, I had to do something -to help pass the time," said Whopper a bit sheepishly. "Sure you did," said Snap heartily. "It's all right, Whopper -only don't ask us to believe such a story."
"Oh, don't go getting all fussed up, Ma," returned His Highness, irritated because he recognized the truth of his mother's words. "I'm going to buckle down until the term is over, honest I am. It is hard, though, with the weather so fine. It seems as if I must be out. It's like being on a leash." "You're thinking of those dogs again!" The lad flushed sheepishly. "No, I wasn't."
"Rule it out!" said Buck, with a warning cantankerous inflection, firmly and almost brutally reproving this conversational delinquency of George's. "Rule it out, young man! We don't want any of that sort of mountebanking in England. We know what it's worth." George was cowed. More, his faith in Cézanne was shaken. He smiled sheepishly and was angry with himself. Then he heard Mr.
"I don't want to trouble you more than I can help," said Felix, sheepishly. He knew that there were reasons why he should not go into that drawing-room, but of course he could not guess that those reasons were as well known to the judge as they were to himself. "You sha'n't trouble us more than you can help. I am not one of those men who tell my friends that nothing is a trouble.
I wanted to thank him, to say something handsome, but partly because I was overcome by his gift, partly because I was at a loss for words, I merely kept saying, sheepishly, "Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you." That volume of Dickens proved to be the ruin of my push-cart business and caused me some weeks of the blackest misery I had ever experienced
You know how polite he is wouldn't trouble anybody. Wouldn't ask ye to slap 'im on the back if he was chokin'. I went out two or three times and once I brought him out some liniment, and he told me every time he would be 'well directly, but I don't believe him. If Arthur groans there's something to groan for, you bet." "Maybe he's in love," Tom said sheepishly.
"Before all the men!" she said to herself, half in prudish dismay at his effrontery, and yet pleased that he did not sheepishly seek to conceal his preference. Spring was once more afoot in the land. They daily marked her advance as they went.
"Have you got your lessons?" "No, ma'am," said Jack, sheepishly. He was evidently not at ease, but his mother said no more. He went off to bed early, and lay awake a good part of the night. The next morning he brought the old dinner-bell and set it down in the very middle of the breakfast-table. Then he told his mother all about it. And she agreed with him that he had done a very mean thing.
Corporal Dowdall grinned sheepishly. He appeared to think that a delicate and gentlemanly compliment had been paid to his general downiness, flyness, and ring-craft, the last of which, for Corporal Dowdall, included every form of foul that a weak referee would pass, an inexperienced one misunderstand, or a lazy one miss.
I am just as thoroughly convinced as you are that Thane staged that masked robber business himself. It's an old gag, especially with lovers and occasionally with husbands." Charlie grinned sheepishly, a guilty flush staining his rubicund face. "I guess I might as well confess that I was guilty of something of the sort when I was about seventeen," he said.
