"Ah, that was good," he murmured. "Not like thy English drinks, eh?" said Mr. Belcovitch. "England!" snorted Pesach in royal disdain. "What a country! Daddle-doo is a language and ginger-beer a liquor." "Daddle doo" was Pesach's way of saying "That'll do." It was one of the first English idioms he picked up, and its puerility made him facetious.
No, D., things must take a turn, or the game's lost and we'll go with it. Success is the only thing that'll save their lives and ours: we couldn't stand failure in this. A man can walk to the gates of hell to do the hardest trick, and he'll come back one great blister and live, if he's done the thing he set out for; but if he doesn't do it, he falls into the furnace. He never comes back.
"I realize that is not like getting knowledge first-hand," he continued with modesty, "but it seemed the best I could do. As to this plan of yours, two heads are sometimes better than one, and between us I believe we can evolve an answer to the puzzle." "That'll be prime!" Willie ejaculated, now quite comfortable in his mind. "An' when we get the answer to the riddle, Jan Eldridge will help us.
Something that'll make me feel awful, I suppose." "If you're going to take it like that I won't tell you." "Yes. Tell me. Tell me. I'd rather know." He told her as Maisie had told him. "Can't you see her, standing up to the whole county? Pounding them with her little hands." His vision of the gentle thing, rising up in that sudden sacred fury of protection, moved him to admiring, tender laughter.
"Broad daylight," he growled, catching the expression upon his companion's face, "and there ain't no one in sight that'll tell." "Better be satisfied to keep yer mouth shut, Ben Letts," cautioned Longman, "nettin' air bad for the man what gets caught." "Got any bait out there?" he finished, pointing lakeward to a bobbing box anchored a distance from the shore.
Looking out of the window, he saw a horse's head in a faded-red, silk-fronted bridle, with the letters 'J.C. on the winkers; not 'J.C. writhing in the elegant contortions of modern science, but 'J.C. in the good, plain, matter-of-fact characters we have depicted above. 'That'll be the doctor, said Mr.

"And don't do anything so plainly that any passerby can detect the fact that you and I are meeting there. Don't let anyone see what I slip into your hand." "That'll be all right," declared Tip Scammon, readily enough. "And mind you, that's the last money you're ever to ask me for."
"Say, what about Quest?" he asked. "He ain't been here at all, then?" She looked at him wonderingly. "Of course not! Mr. Quest " She hesitated. The Inspector laid his hand upon her wrist. Then he realised that she was on the point of a nervous breakdown, and in no condition for interrogations. "That'll do," he said.
"That'll be fine, won't it, Frank!" she observed, and rubbed his arm as he sat on the side of the bed. Her remark was vaguely speculative. "We'll have to show the Butlers some attention from now on. He's been very nice to me and he's going to be useful I can see that. He asked me to bring you over some time. We must go. Be nice to his wife. He can do a lot for me if he wants to.
Let me take away this bag and put it up in the rack for you. Here's a footstool for your feet; that'll make you more comfortable."
