"Dear me, just think of it!" "Did you ever!" "Well, if that don't beat everything!" He was a chuckle-headed dog; you could have told him anything. "'It irritated me that Bill should have such an animal about him to encourage him, and when he had finished I said to him, "I wish you'd tell that yarn round at my quarters one evening." "'Why? said Bill. "'Oh, it's just a fancy of mine, I says.
He was confused, frightened, chuckle-headed now; he came darting up the deer path in the wrong direction, straight towards me, to within two jumps, before he noticed the man kneeling in the path before him and watching him quietly. At the startling discovery he stopped short, seeming to shrink smaller and smaller before my eyes.
Don't be bothering us about that corn-cracking, agery crowd." "Where'd you leave your regiment, you chuckle-headed straggler?" "You were so rattled you couldn't tell which way they went."

You heard at the breakfast, didn't you?" Tom shook his head. "I didn't hear," he said sadly. "You never hear anything or see anything. I never met such a dull, chuckle-headed chap as you are.
For heaven's sake, Portlaw, you're becoming chuckle-headed with all your feeding and inertia and pampered self-indulgence.
