This little touch of philosophy convinced Bax that if he did not wish to sit there half the night, the sooner he changed the subject the better, so he called the waiter, and paid his bill, saying to his companions that it was time to go aboard if they wanted a snooze before tripping the anchor. "What have you had, sir?" said the waiter, turning to Bluenose.
"Uncle," said Tommy, "I am going to Australia." Bluenose, who had just lighted his pipe, looked at the boy through the smoke, smiled, and said, "No, Tommy, you ain't." "Uncle," repeated Tommy, "I am. I once heard Bax say he'd rather go there than anywhere else, if he was to go abroad; so I'm certain he has gone there, and I'm going to seek for him."
A man's life and property are well protected here at little cost, and he can go where he likes and do what he likes provided he don't trespass on his neighbour. "I guess that's enough for any on us, now ain't it?" No. Gulling a Bluenose. "I allot," said Mr. Slick, "that the Bluenoses are the most gullible folks on the face of the airth rigular soft horns, that's a fact.
The second mate of a Britisher asked for his discharge at Bombay because he could not manage the men, who had shirked disgracefully the whole way out. The skipper got a good Bluenose for his new second mate.
Sally was starting down the path toward the Crawford cabin when Abe called after her. "Wait! I'm coming with you." He thrust the book inside his buckskin shirt. Sally tried to comfort him, but Abe kept wondering what Mr. Crawford was going to say. He was a little scared of Josiah. Some of the boys called him "Old Bluenose" because of the large purple vein on the side of his nose.
According to my idee you have no more right to take them, than you have to take my clocks without payin' for 'em. A man that would be guilty of such an action is no gentleman, that's flat, and if you don't like it, you may lump it for I don't vally him, nor you neither, nor are a Bluenose that ever stepped in shoe leather the matter of a pin's head.
The French gallantly disputed their advance in Hudson Bay and won several actions, of which the best victory was Iberville's in 1697, with his single ship, the Pélican, against three opponents. In Labrador and Newfoundland the British ousted all rivals from territorial waters, except from the French Shore. The 'Bluenose' Nova Scotians crept on from port to port.
Anne and Priscilla found themselves in the thick of the social life of Redmond. That this came about so speedily was due in great measure to Philippa Gordon. Philippa was the daughter of a rich and well-known man, and belonged to an old and exclusive "Bluenose" family.
"You appear to admire him very much," said Guy; "and from the little that I have seen of him I think you have good reason." "Admire him!" cried Tommy, with a look of scorn; "no, I don't. I like him. He's a trump!" "Who's a trump?" inquired Bluenose, coming up at that moment.
Three times had Mrs Laker been sent to knock at Amy's door, and inform the young ladies that supper awaited them, before they completed their toilet, and descended to the drawing-room. Laker called it supper, because she could not conscientiously give the name of breakfast to a meal extemporised about four o'clock in the morning! Mr Burton and Bluenose were already seated at the table.
