"He lets me read some of the plays that are sent in. Awful tosh most of them. Sometimes he sends me off to a vaudeville house of an evening." "As a treat?" "To see some special act, you know. To report on it. In case he might want to use it for this revue of his." "Which revue?" "Didn't you know he was going to put on a revue? Oh, rather. A whacking big affair.

This was because they no longer heard the minister. "O Lord!" Peter Tosh cried, "lift the mist, for it's mair than we can bear." The mist rose slowly, and those who had courage to look saw Gavin praying with the earl.
"I guess your average love tosh leaves me like a one-eyed codfish; but there's a bit I've got in me head writ by some joker who knows me and the likes o' me. "'There's a whisper on the night wind, there's a star agleam to guide us, And the wild is calling, calling . . . let us go." Shorty contemplatively finished his beer. "'The wild is calling.

A score of persons sprang to their rescue, and the rope snapped. There was only one other rope, and its fate was not dissimilar.

And, to deceive yourself the more completely, you take them so very very seriously that Ecrasia here declares that the making of dolls is the holiest work of creation, and the words you put into the mouths of dolls the sacredest of scriptures and the noblest of utterances.

"And it is here that we can use our companion hunters best, for the shunkas will intimidate and bewilder the buffalo women," said an old man. "Ugh, he is always right! Our dogs must help us here. The meat will be theirs as well as ours," another added. "Tosh, kola!
It was a knock-out blow. "For ony sake," muttered the now demoralised Tosh, "drop the subject, and I'll gie ye a bit ham o' ma ain! There's just time tae cook it " "What kin' o' a fire is this?"

So mind and see no' to get a cauld dinner for us all, Jimmy!" "Cauld or het," retorted the gentleman addressed, "it's little dinner I'll be gettin' this day! And ye ken fine why!" he added darkly. Private Tosh removed a cigarette from his lower lip and sighed patiently.
