But he can rise; Joseph can rise if she'll help him." "My word!" repeated Mrs. Swan several times over; and then added slowly, "It'll be an awk'ard thing for Swan if Mr. Mortimer should take offence about this."
Then there's `Dutchy', as we calls him that chap that pushed hisself for'ard when we hoisted in your boat he's an awk'ard feller to get on with, too; hates bein' ordered about, and don't believe in discipline. He and Svorenssen will both be in my watch, and I'll see to it that they minds their P's and Q's.
And if that's what's brewin' we shall have to stand by, and keep our weather eye liftin'; for a tornader'd be an uncommon awk'ard customer to meet with in these here open boats." "You are right there," said I, "and for that reason it is especially desirable that the boats should keep together for mutual support and assistance, if need be.
He wisely, therefore, remained quite passive, and allowed himself to be lifted out of danger. "Nobody hurt, I 'ope," he said, on being set on his legs; "it was a awk'ard plunge." "Awk'ard? you blue spider," cried the Captain; "you deserve to be keel-hauled, or pitched into a crevasse. Look alive now, an' clear up the mess you've made."
He may have been back and gone out for a walk. It's just like him; being as awk'ard and contrary as can be."
Ralph declared that he had never thought of imputing blame to any one. "But it was, as awk'ard as awk'ard could be. It was my wife's doing. Of course you can see how it all is. That chap has been hankering after Polly ever since she was in her teens. But, Lord love you, Captain, he ain't a chance with her. He was there again o' Monday, but the girl wouldn't have a word to say to him."
But it was awk'ard calling your little sister by such a hard name, when you'd got nothing big to say, like wasn't it, Master Marner?" "We called her Eppie," said Silas. "Well, if it was noways wrong to shorten the name, it 'ud be a deal handier.
But I don't disguise from you, Harold, that we're in a very awk'ard trouble, and that it 'll need all the craft of the chief, here, and all the experience of Pearson and me to get us out of it." "The guid God has been vera merciful to us sae far," Duncan Cameron said; "he will surely protect us to the end.
Another frigate, by the look of her hull up, too." "Phew!" whistled Hardy; "that's rather awk'ard; she may pick us out any minute. But perhaps she's English, sir. You don't often see two French ships so close together as this here. Can you see her pretty plain, sir?" "Not very," I replied. "But I fancy there's an English look about her." "Let me take a squint at her, sir."
The critter larfed again at this as if it was a great joke, but he shut up his book, put it and the bag o' leetle birds under his head for a pillow, spread himself out over the camp like a great spider that was awk'ard in the use o' its limbs, an' went off to sleep even before I did an' that was sharp practice, let me tell you.
