The lad stepped up to the tent, the flaps of which were closed. He stretched out his hand to knock, then grinned sheepishly. "I forgot you couldn't knock at a tent door. I wonder how visitors announce themselves, anyway." His toe, at that moment, chanced to touch the tent pole and that gave him an idea. Phil tapped against the pole with his foot.
They started away towards him, looking sheepishly at my wife as they did so; but Billy finding occasion to give counter-orders, said: "But you needn't come until you put the cockatoos away, and stuck the iguana in a barrel, and put the hose up for for her."
Grotesquely a little smile went scudding zig-zag across his haggard face. With an impulse absolutely alien to him he reached out abruptly again and raised the White Linen Nurse's hand to his lips. "'Good God' was what I meant Miss Malgregor!" he grinned a bit sheepishly. Quite bruskly then he turned and looked at his watch.
But I knows some on 'em, and right well too." "How?" I demanded curiously. Benjy looked down sheepishly at his feet. He was standing pigeon-toed. "I done c'ressed some on 'em, Marse Dave," he said at length, and there was a note of triumph in his voice. "You did what?" I asked. "I done kissed one of dem yaller gals, Marse Dave. Yass'r, I done kissed M'lisse."
"You're going to get off this island," she exclaimed, "and you're going to do it quick. No tricks now! The first one who makes a break gets this axe in the back and I can throw straight. About face, now. March!" There was nothing to do but obey. Sheepishly enough the boys turned and meekly let her drive them out into the dark.
He was red to the ears, but Bessie could tell from the way he was looking at Dolly that the city girl, with her smart clothes and her pretty face, had already made a deep impression on the farm boy. Now as the two girls approached, he looked at them sheepishly, standing first on one foot, and then on the other. "Do you work all the time?" Dolly asked him, impishly, darting a look at Bessie.
The friends took leave of Artemisia; the slave-women kissed her; Pisander, presuming on his age, kissed her, albeit very sheepishly, as though he feared the ghosts of all the Stoics would see him. Iasus cast an angry jealous glance at the philosopher; he contented himself with a mere shake of the hand. Agias swung Artemisia into the gig and touched the lash to the swift mules.
Condell, and took his leave; but, at the door he hesitated, and then, looking down a little sheepishly, said, "Mr. Wardlaw, may I offer you a piece of advice?" "Certainly." Then, double the insurance on the Shannon, if you can. With these words he slipped out, evidently to avoid questions he did not intend to answer.
She gasped she clinched her fist. Bud dodged an' tried to break away. "Told him I was a a heifer!" Bud looked sheepishly around he tried even to run, but Jud Carpenter held him fast. She shook her finger in his face. "I heard you say it, Bud Billins, you know I did an' I busted a plate over yo' head." "But, my dear Madam," said Kingsley, "that was no reason to treat him so badly."
Fancy then this figure, seated with laborious and unswerving perpendicularity on a demi-pique saddle, ornamented with a huge pair of well-stuffed saddle-bags, and holsters revealing the stocks of a brace of immense pistols, the horse with its obstinate mouth thrust out, and the bridle drawn as tight as a bowstring! its ears laid sullenly down, as if, like the Corporal, it complained of going to Yorkshire, and its long thick tail, not set up in a comely and well-educated arch, but hanging sheepishly down, as if resolved that its buttocks should at least be better covered than its master's!
