Hany gentleman as 'as 'ad the misfortin' to leave his music behind will oblige the ship's company with an ex-tem-por." "Long life to ye, bo'sun; it's a neat hand at a speech ye are, upon my conscience!" cried Dennis, over my shoulder, and then his arm was around it, shaking with laughter, as we were hurried along by the eager crowd. "He's a wag, that old fellow, too. Come along, little Jack!
Charity was the least of all old Joe's redeeming characteristics; charity was the very thing he did not recognize, yet some wag had facetiously branded him Charity Joe, and the appellation had clung to him ever since. He was well advanced in years, yet withal a good trailer and an expert guide, as the success of his many late expeditions into the Black Hills had evidenced.
'Dame, dame, don't let that tongue of thine wag so fast, interrupted Thomas, for he never liked to hear people ill spoken of behind their backs, though he would speak out plainly enough to everybody's face.
Slim remained sitting on a book and gazing soberly at me. "Well," I said, "it's very kind of Wag's father to send me a message, but I must say I can't make much of it." Slim nodded.

What I should ever have done in that solitude without them I don't know.

"There's no reason to set people talking," she declared. "Their tongues wag fast enough at the theatre, as it is. I've only been there for one day's work, and it seems to me I've heard the inside history of every one connected with the place." "That makes what I have to say easier," he remarked.

Dear! dear! Yet it is very odd, and I don't think she can be quite dead, you know for dead folks always wag their tails! On this, Miss Crocodile began to wag her tail very gently, and Mr. Jackal ran off, roaring with laughter, and saying, 'Oho! oho! so dead folk always wag their tails! Once there lived a great Raja, whose name was Salbahan, and he had two Queens.
Castor was of a meek and tractable nature; but Pollux was fierce and quarrelsome. When any person took notice of the generous Castor, he would wag his tail, and jump about for joy, nor was he ever jealous on seeing more notice taken of his brother than of himself. The surly Pollux, on the contrary, whenever Mr.
The wisdom of some older person is certainly better than what the American would call the "snap judgment" of two young people carried away by passion. One might find the chief cause of divorce in America to lie in this strange custom. I was invited by a famous wag last week to meet a man who could claim that he was the father of fifty-three children and several hundred grandchildren.
The Prince loves her and so she wears pink." "Pink," repeated Henry thoughtfully. "In the nunnery scene I have a pale, gold, amber dress the most beautiful color. The material is a church brocade. It will 'tone down' the color of my hair. In the last scene I wear a transparent, black dress." Henry did not wag an eyelid. "I see. In mourning for her father." "No, not exactly that.
