For several minutes Huggins searched the tender for a comfortable spot for his unprotected body, but scratchy, knobby pieces of wood, with a foundation of sharp chunks of coal, was not conducive to rest. A bullet rattling against the engine added to his irritation, and he looked over the edge and fired his revolver petulantly. "That'll larn 'em I'm no blinkin' Irishman with a stick."
This was agreeable to the club, whose members now separated to their homes. "Aunt Stanshy," said Charlie, that night, "do you know where my rabbit is?" "I don't know. Now I told you, when Miss Persnips came down here, that thing in her arms, and she smilin' and blinkin', as if she had an armful of gold, that she was givin' you an elephant rather than a rabbit.
'I was 'oping, said the Cockney, with a solemn wink to the gathering, 'as 'ow Number 26 would be took by a toff, and, blime, if it ain't! It were gettin' blinkin' lonesome for me with only Jock 'ere and Frenchy opposite, who ain't bad blokes in their wy, but orful crude for my likin'. 'Where did it hit ye? asked the Scot encouragingly. 'On the head, said Selwyn, pointing to his bandage.
Instead he stood stock still, returning Phineas Babbitt's glare with a steady, unwinking gaze. It was the hardware dealer who spoke first. And that, by the way, was precisely what he had not meant to do. "Yes," he observed, with caustic sarcasm, "it's me. You needn't stand there blinkin' like a fool any longer, Shavin's. It's me." Jed set the lamp upon the table.
The infantrymen were in the lead, and almost as soon as we struck the open one of them "got it" in the head. Skinny was in front of me, and he stopped so suddenly that I said, "What's wrong, Skinny?" He said, "Blime, but he's got it; I wonder how many blinkin' kids the poor devil's left."
I speak the language a little and tried to monopolize the lady, and did, which didn't increase my popularity any. "I say, Yank," some one would call, "don't be a blinkin' 'og. Give somebody else a chawnce." Whereupon I would pursue my conquest all the more ardently. I was making a large hit, as I thought, when in came an officer.
"Gawd! gives yer the fair creeps, don't it?" muttered Dollops as they stood in the gloom and tried to take their bearings. "What yer goin' ter do, sir?" "Find out where it leads to if there's time," whispered Cleek rapidly. "We've got to find out what these human moles are burrowing in the earth like this for. I'd give a good deal to know. Hear anything?" "Not a blinkin' sound, sir." "All right.
"Pardon me, sir," says Hartley, "but several weeks ago I put in a request for an increase in salary, to take effect this month." "Oh, did you?" says Piddie, springin' that sarcastic smile of his. "Do I understand that it was an ultimatum?" "Why er I hadn't thought of putting it in that form, sir," says Hartley, blinkin' something like an owl that's been poked off his nest.
"Garn!" yelled Huggins, reaching for a fresh supply. "Look arfter yer own blinkin' cab, yu blighter!" "Blighter, is it?" Murphy was dancing excitedly about until he got in the fireman's way, to receive such a furious push that he went sprawling on his back. He lifted himself to his feet as if something new had entered his experience, and stood agitatedly chewing his beard.
Ketury understood English, and could talk it well enough, but always seemed to scorn it, and was allers mo win' and mutterin' to herself in Indian, and winkin' and blinkin' as if she saw more-folks round than you did, so that she wa'n't no way pleasant company; and yet everybody took good care to be polite to her.
