I want to gallop, and get it done. Hullo! old Dark Night; I didn't know you were there." This was to Joeboy, who was walking with one hand on the cantle of my saddle. "Um!" said Joeboy; "come along take care of Boss Val." "Good boy!" said Denham banteringly. "Take care of me too." "Um! Yes!

Captain Vanstone, meanwhile reassured as to the newcomer's discretion and docility, applied his mind to his patient. "See here, sir," he said, banteringly yet tenderly, "we were just getting along first-rate with these uncommonly mixed liquors. You mustn't cry off again, Sir Richard." He slipped his arm under the pillows, dexterously raising the young man's head, and held the cup to his lips.

"You have chosen me to act as your daughter's escort," replied Ashton. Quick to catch the inference of his remark, Isobel flashed him a look of approval, but called banteringly as she darted out to the buckboard: "Better move, if you expect to get near enough to escort me, this side of Stockchute." Gowan sprang down to hand her into the buckboard.

Villon caught his breath. The Lord of Montcorbier was, indeed, wardered by very different stars from the fellow of the Fircone. He saluted her banteringly. "Though I be newly come to Paris I have heard much of the beauty and more of the pride of the Lady Katherine de Vaucelles." A little fire burned in the girl's pale cheeks, and she flung her head back scornfully.

Had she suspected this, she would most certainly have let things take their course, and the little warning hint which she had half banteringly dropped at breakfast, and which was destined to bear such bitter fruit, would never have been uttered. Forrester covered the few miles that separated White Windows from Heronsmere at the same reckless pace at which he had started.

"We must beat our swords and pistols into scalping-knives and bludgeons," remarked Burr, banteringly. "The code of honor is not observed by Indians or Western boatmen. Mr. Arlington, you may be compelled to adapt yourself to the customs of the country." Near Yeatman's Cove, at the foot of Sycamore Street, Cincinnati, stood a commodious tavern, built with some reference to architectural effect.

The captain drew rein a little, so that I came alongside during the first part of our ride, and he cast his eye over my bonds and gave the Boer who had the leading-rein a sharp order or two about keeping a good lookout. To this the dull, heavy fellow responded with a surly growl. After this the Irishman banteringly asked me if I was comfortable.

Really, my dear Nelly," he ended banteringly, "I should have supposed that even you would have had more sense." Helena grew slowly very white. She felt as if caught in a trap; and yet the amused surprise in Lloyd Pryor's face was honest enough, and perfectly friendly. "I cannot leave David here," she said faintly.

When he was sure that they were out of earshot he asked: "You haven't forgiven me yet?" "You know the conditions," she replied banteringly. "You leave me no alternative to suicide," he protested. "That would be cheating," she said. "You must be drowned honestly, or it's no good." Then he made a foolish reply. He thought her humour forced and it annoyed him. Remember that he was exasperated.

"I admit your superior intelligence," retorted Willems, with scornful impatience, from below. "Listening to me would be a further proof of it. You will be sorry if you don't." "Oh, you funny fellow!" said Almayer, banteringly. "Well, come up. Don't make a noise, but come up. You'll catch a sunstroke down there and die on my doorstep perhaps. I don't want any tragedy here. Come on!"
