Until, at last, one cheeky ragamuffin had piped out: "Please, Miss, have you got red hair all over you? Or only on your head?" For answer she had rolled up her sleeve, and let them examine her arm.
I have a brother in the navy, and the fellows are getting too cheeky altogether. They seem to think that no one can fight but themselves. Except in Egypt we have never had a chance at all of showing we can lick the French just as easily on land as we can at sea." "I hope we shall, Dick. They have certainly had a great deal more practice at it than we have."
They could do anything. But of what use would it be? As well might we follow the moose-deer when it has got a long start." "Big Tim has got the start, as Rushing River wisely says," remarked the cheeky comrade, "but he is hampered with his squaw, and cannot go fast."
"He is a very wealthy man, and I have no doubt a very kind and honest man." "He is a very cheeky man," smiled Miss McTavish. "No doubt no doubt," said Traquair; "and it would leave you to the honest enjoyment of your houses and lands, which otherwise you propose to hand over to him. Still, it is well for a Scot to be cautious." "For a Scotch Scot," said Miss McTavish.
I'm not going to ask my father how much a thing costs when he gives me a present. Lot of money ten or fifteen pounds, I daresay." "Yah! Silver watches don't cost so much as that," sneered Dicksee. "Look here, Dicky," cried Burr major, "you're getting too cheeky. I shall have to take you down a peg or two." "Oh, never mind old Fatsides," cried another boy. "Here, Burr, old chap, show us the works."
I have had some fresh air, and I have been away for one whole day from the smell of soup and drains. How describe it all? The dear sense of guilt first, and then the still dearer British soldiers, all ready with some cheery, cheeky remark as they sat in carts under the wet trees.
The captain explained his having mislaid the address. "Oh, was that it? Then I'm glad I reminded you. Rather a cheeky thing to do, but I've been a reporter, and nerve is necessary in that profession. I began to be afraid living among the blue-bloods had had its effect, and you were getting finicky as to your acquaintances." "You didn't believe any such thing." "Didn't I? Well, perhaps I didn't.
Only in the interval Hella said that really I am inconceivably stupid sometimes. What on earth did I want to write a thing like that for? When it begins, of course she will let me know directly. As a matter of fact it has not begun yet. It's really rather cheeky of her, but after all one can forgive anything to one's friend.
The gardens and burial-ground are beautiful, and the square is entirely shaded by about ten or twelve superb oaks; nothing prettier can be conceived. It is not popular in the neighbourhood. 'You see it makes the d-d niggers cheeky' to have homes of their own and the girls are said to be immoral. As to that, there are no so-called 'morals' among the coloured people, and how or why should there?
These remarks, being thoroughly in accord with the sentiments of the braves, were received with a storm of "Ho's," "How's," "Hi's," and "Hee's," which effectually drowned the cheeky one's "Hum's," and greatly encouraged the chief, who thereafter broke forth in a flow of language which was more in keeping with his name.
