"Beg pardon, gentlemen," he said, speaking as if huffed, "have I said something stoopid?" "Tell him, Val," cried Denham; and I explained why we laughed. "Oh, I see," he said good-humouredly. "I thought I was being laughed at. Well, I don't know, Mr Denham, sir; I don't think the idee's quite so wild as you fancy." "Oh, it's impossible, Sergeant." "No, sir, begging your pardon, it isn't.
"It's little you knows, stoopid feller," returned the native missionary's wife, while her coal-scuttle shook with imparted emotion; "Zariffa never dis'beyed me in hers life. She's lost. We must seek seek quick!"
"Let him get up, Tom," said Aleck. "Easy, Master Aleck. Let's make sure first as he won't go off his head again." "I shan't go off my head again now I'm safe, stoopid," cried the smuggler, angrily. "Master Aleck, sir, thankye kindly for helping a poor desprit fellow. I can't say much, but my poor little wife'll say: `Gord bless yer for this for the sake of our weans."
Harry Foker drove, was affected by the potency of the drink, for he rushed home to the west-end of the town at a rapid pace, which endangered the pie-stalls and the women on the crossings, and brought the cab-steps into collision with the posts at the street corners, and caused Stoopid to swing fearfully on his board behind.

The bell for afternoon-school rang as they were swaggering about the play-ground talking to their old cronies. The awful Doctor passed into school with his grammar in his hand.

I've smelled it out; it's deuced pronounced with her, or I've got the scent of an idiot. You'll see, you'll see! She's only got to come on, and all the house will be gaping at her."
"I've looked along there as far as I could go," said Dexter sadly. "What shall we do!" "I wish this here was your stoopid head," snarled Bob, as he hammered away at the bare ground beneath the tree. "I never see such a chap!" "But what shall we do?" said Dexter again. "Do? I dunno, and I don't care. You lost the boat, and you've got to find it."
