But it is no occupation for a fuming man, and as I marched up and down I forgot all about my cork, till, with a short laugh that had the tail of a curse in it, I noted that a real gaff was a silly weapon with which to cut down an imaginary Highlander, and turned again to my angling.
Shortly afterwards Perk picked up what seemed to be a low-lying light, this time off toward the east, where he knew the land lay. "Huh! I kinder guess that ain't a silly star," was the way he expressed his feelings as he continued to watch the glimmering object that rose and then grew dim, only to once more flash brightly.
Then, catching sight of him, she at once began to scold as folks will, after a scare. "Come down and play at boats!" the boy invited her. "Shan't!" snapped Tilda. "Leave that silly boat alone, an' come an' play at houses." "Boats aren't silly," he retorted; "not half so silly as a house without any roof." "A boat out of water bah!"
'Now, you silly fellow, he said, 'if you had pleaded "not guilty," as I told you, all this would have come out. It is true that I did not know what I was doing, but it was your own fault. He then reduced the sentence to nine months, saying, 'Does that satisfy you? 'Thank you, my Lord, replied the man, 'that's quite right, and left the court quite cheerfully.
No wonder you treat me like a child." This was not at all what she meant to say, however, and was worse than what she had said before. "No," he answered seriously.

I wish you would tell me how."
We ought to give, if we have anything extraordinary to give. Oh, if you knew how I've longed and pined to be extraordinary!" "Extraordinary? In what way?" "In gifts, in talent! I've suffered dreadfully because I simply can't endure just to be one of the silly, dull crowd. But lately quite lately I've begun to realize what I could be, do. I could be the perfect wife to a great man.
Why, I expect your husband just went out to see a friend and got kept somehow. If it wasn't for those stupid Poulains' mistake about last night you wouldn't feel really worried, now would you?" Nancy dabbed her eyes. She felt ashamed of being caught crying by these kind people. "I know I'm being silly!" she gasped. "You must forgive me!
But so far as he could see there was nothing unusual about his suit. He was puzzled; but there was no use asking Mr. Frog any questions just then Bobby knew that he would have to wait until the silly tailor's fit of laughing had passed. At last Mr. Frog grew calmer. He drew forth a big handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped his eyes.
She wanted me to say she was the most tried creature since Adam. And I could not, girls I really could not. I have not the slightest doubt there have been a million women worse tried since the battle of Prague, never mention Adam. As to Amelia Bracewell, who carries her fan as if it were a sceptre, and slurs her r's like a Londoner, silly chit! I have hardly any patience with her.
