How did you manage it? And where on earth did you lay your hands on such garments?" The somewhat bulky and voluminous individual who had joined them sat down before Stuart and Jules and treated the two of them to an amiable grin, made all the more amiable and owl-like by those glasses. "I couldn't help grinning at myself," he told them after a minute; "the whole thing seems so awfully cheeky.

Two large pitchers of cool, soft water awaited them, and the wash, as had been predicted, was most refreshing. "I say," cried Yates, "it's rather cheeky to accept a man's hospitality after knocking him down." "It would be for most people, but I think you underestimate your cheek, as you call it." "Bravo, Stilly! You're blossoming out. That's repartee, that is. With the accent on the rap, too.

It's quite a jolly thing to do." It was a thing which Frank Mannix was quite determined not to do. The suggestion that he should behave in such a way struck him as "cheeky" in a very high degree. A lower schoolboy in Edmondstone House, if he had ventured to speak in such a way, would have been beaten with a fives bat. But Priscilla was a girl and, as Frank understood, girls are not beaten.

But if after two or three times we don't get the countersign, we know the fellow's a Hun and we open up on him." "Good stuff!" approved Billy. "That's what happened this morning," continued Dick. "This fellow came sailing along as calm and cheeky as you please, and was having a bully time taking pictures of our positions.

After a while she heard a great noise as of furniture being dragged about, and presently Rosie came in with the separate pieces of her dismantled bed. "What are you doing with my things?" exclaimed Fan in surprise. "Your things!" retorted Rosie, with scorn. "What your mistress told me to do, you cheeky little beggar! Your things indeed!

A great shout of "Bravo!" went up when the Emperor ceased, and the students doubtless all thought what a fine thing it would be if he would only lead them straightway against those cheeky Englanders. At the end of June, on board the Hamburg-American pleasure-steamer Princess Victoria Luise, the Emperor pronounced the famous sentence "Our future lies on the water."

"Oh! with the turned up nose. I know," cried the cheeky boy; "you means Johnson? He hoed away nobody know whar'." "And little Kelly Drew, what of her?" A sudden silence fell on the group, and solemn eyes were turned on sister Kathy, who was evidently expected to answer. "Not dead?" said the captain earnestly. "No, but very very ill," replied the girl.

"I guess a man can hold his affianced wife in his lap if he feels like it, without having a cheeky detective walk in on him." "Your what?" asked Holmes, with surprise. "My affianced wife, I said. And it's none of your business, either, any more than it is my niece's, or the Earl's.

"I don't tell you that to get sympathy, Mrs. May," said the school-teacher, "but only because I'd like you to understand before I begin that I haven't come just to be 'cheeky' and bold. I came because I felt I must on somebody's account, if not yours. For myself, I didn't want to force myself on you. I didn't want it one bit!
