"What sort o' spirits, my lad is it rum, or gin, or whisky, now, you mean?" Mick did not reflect a bit, but came out pat with his answer.
The old prince was in a good temper and very gracious to Pierre. Before supper, Prince Andrew, coming back to his father's study, found him disputing hotly with his visitor. Pierre was maintaining that a time would come when there would be no more wars. The old prince disputed it chaffingly, but without getting angry.
Beale Farange, for Miss Overmore, was now never anything but "he," and the house was as full as ever of lively gentlemen with whom, under that designation, she chaffingly talked about him. Maisie meanwhile, as a subject of familiar gossip on what was to be done with her, was left so much to herself that she had hours of wistful thought of the large loose discipline of Mrs.
And he laughed, while Kona, grinning with glee, declared chaffingly that the Prince had fallen in love with her. The subject, however, was not further pursued, but now and then Omar would express a hope that she had returned in safety to her father, or wonder why she had been working in his cause, his words showing plainly that his head was still filled with thoughts of our pretty visitor.
When uncomplimentary remarks were made about it, Lars Peter would chaffingly declare that he could skim the milk three times, and then there was nothing but cream left. He was very fond of it, and more so for the good milk it had given the little ones. One corner of the outhouse was boarded off for the pig.

"That, sir, has nothing to do with it." Harry Tristram looked up at him. For the first time he broke into a smile as he studied Duplay's face. "I shouldn't in the least wonder," he said almost chaffingly, "if you believed that to be true. Everybody knows that you're after Miss Iver yourself, and yet you say that it has nothing to do with it!
"The poor fellows must be precious dry with all that cutting about up and down the ratlines, and I wouldn't mind a glass of grog myself." "No, really, you don't mean that!" said Larkyns chaffingly.

"You youngsters of the present day are always thinking of your tea, like a lot of blessed old women!
Radmore was impressed, disagreeably so, in spite of himself; but: "Look here, Timmy," he said chaffingly. "The Greeks have a proverb about the bearer of ill-tidings; don't let yourself ever become that, old man! Have you ever heard, by the by, about 'the long arm of coincidence'?" Timmy nodded. "Don't you think it possible that your having dreamt about Dr.
