He was an English boy, smart, active, and wide-awake in the slang sense in which sense also we may add that he was "cheeky." But neither the skipper nor Tips was very visible at the distance of three yards, owing to a dense fog which prevailed.
Celia fought the growing embarrassment womanfully. "Oh, I think it matters a great deal," she responded, in the same light tone. "If I had a beautiful boy like this, I should like him to have a nice name a manly name. But, of course, you've thought of one?" Susie shook her head again. "No? Will you think me very well, cheeky if I suggest some? Now, let me see! He is fair, isn't he?
"What does he mean by calling me his dear friend?" exclaimed Randolph indignantly. "I never was his dear friend, and never want to be." "I believe you, Randolph. Shall I tell you what he means?" "Yes." "He means it for a joke. He knows you don't like him, and he isn't breaking his heart over it." "It's pretty cheeky in him!
Paul Schlieben took the boy in hand. "Just tell me, my boy, what's been the trouble between you and Lisbeth? She has given notice, and it seems to me she's leaving on your account. Listen" he cast a keen glance at him "I suppose you've been cheeky to her?" The boy's face brightened: "Oh, that's nice, that's nice that she's going." He did not answer the question that had been put to him at all.
'That young lady'll look stunning on horseback, Steel said. A little cheeky of him, but he's privileged. I say, Deleah, what'll the old women of Brockenham say when they see you with me, a-cock-horse, riding side by side past their windows?" "They'll never see me doing it, Reggie. I'm not going to ride with you, my dear boy." "You wait!
I wonder you ain't ashamed to lay the things in such a state. When she brought out the third lot Emily got mad, and when Miss Betty come out with the forks too well, the storm bursted. Emily was cheeky, I don't deny, and Miss Betty was rude, and I had to tell 'em at last that they must go out of the kitchen if they was likely to go on like that.
"I say, guvner, you hadn't no call fur to call me cheeky; I didn't mean no cheek, only I likes the look of yer; it seems fur to warm a chap." Lawrence stopped this time and looked curiously at the boy, at the odd, keen eyes gazing at him so hungrily. "You are a strange lad if you are not a cheeky one," he said. "Why do you like the look of me?"
What was so funny about him? Lehmann was the most curious and so cheeky. Quite lately he had blinked at him sideways so slyly, and puffed up his cheeks as though they must burst with laughter when he made the specially witty remark: "I'll be hanged if I can see any likeness between you and your governor!" Was he really not like his father or his mother? Not like either of them?
There are also a lot of those weird, semi-transparent, yellow, spotted little sandfish with cup- shaped pectoral fins, which I see they use to enable them to make their astoundingly long leaps. These fish are of a more nervous and distrustful disposition, and hover round my hand but will not come into it. Indeed I do not believe the other cheeky little fellows would allow them to.
Following Henrietta Cooney's look, Carlisle's eyes fell, sure enough, upon the tall figure of Dr. Vivian crossing the humming side-street straight toward them. Her glance caught him in the act of removing his derby, bowing in response to the cheeky salute of Hen.... "Ah, he's using a cane," added Hen, below her breath. "That means his foot is bad...."
