A dozen had clambered up and taken seats on the Blanco's low bulwarks. MacRae gained his own deck and looked at them. "What's coming off?" he asked quietly. "You fellows holding a convention of some sort?" One of the men sitting on the big carrier's rail spoke. "Folly Bay's quit shut down," he said sheepishly. "We come to see if you'd start buying again."
"It is," Dr. Kerama agreed. "What's more, the calculated velocity was simply incredible. The only velocities we know of that approximate it are those of galaxies at the very limit of our instruments." Rick said what was on his mind. "It was a spaceship. What else would travel across normal star directions giving out signals?" He grinned sheepishly.
MON DIEU! Gentlemen do not thus it is terrible." Tarzan would grin sheepishly and pick up his knife and fork again, but at heart he hated them. On the journey he told D'Arnot about the great chest he had seen the sailors bury; of how he had dug it up and carried it to the gathering place of the apes and buried it there. "It must be the treasure chest of Professor Porter," said D'Arnot.
The young man looked convinced, and almost as ashamed as if he had been the one to crop my ears. "What do you want me to do?" he said, slowly, and looking sheepishly at the boys who were staring open-mouthed at him and the young girl. The girl pulled a little watch from her belt.

Burke stroked his chin sheepishly, under the influence of memories of Miss Helen Travers West. "So help me," Aggie continued with the utmost solemnity, "Mary never left the house all night. I'd swear that's the truth on a pile of Bibles a mile high!" "Have to be higher than that," the Inspector commented, grimly. "You see, Aggie Lynch, Mary Turner was arrested just after midnight."
"It's bad enough for him to be layin' theer wi'out havin' folks crowin' ower him." Tom, much abashed, grinned sheepishly, and old Robert continued, after a pause, still evidently in high good-humour: "Well, wheer's thy cornet? Thou should be practisin' i'stead o' standin' about findin' fault wi' thy neighbours."
"Gyppy" recounted his adventures with a kind of sullen humor that Archie found highly diverting. He sheepishly confessed that the net reward of a fortnight of diligent labor in his specialty was only three hundred dollars. The Governor was very stern with "Gyppy," advising him to abandon porch-climbing as a hazardous and unprofitable vocation.
Played properly, his malady should be sufficient to keep him out of school on the morrow; but was the game worth the candle? John dressed himself hurriedly and bounced down the stairs. Mrs. Fletcher was in the parlor, glancing for a brief moment at a newly arrived magazine. He presented himself sheepishly. No, he didn't want to stay in bed. He felt all right honest!
The groom sheepishly dug two one-dollar bills out of his trousers pocket and the sum striking Archie as a pitifully inadequate fee he slipped a ten-dollar bill into the minister's hand as the bride and groom were hurrying from the house. "Well, Sally," Archie remarked, as he joined them, "for better or worse you are married. I certainly wish you all good luck."

It would be something for you to do. Henry shook his head sheepishly. 'Oh no! he said; 'I was only joking. 'I'm sure you could write it quite nicely, his mother insisted. And Henry shook his head again, and coughed. 'No, he said.
