"It is all bluff," said he, "caterpillars are past-masters of bluff. Look at the hawkmoths, fat, flabby, bloated things, with curly tails.

Some grow eyes upon them, not real eyes, but markings which serve as such, enough to scare the average chuckle-headed bird.
And in his heart of hearts Martin understood the situation only too well, as he leaned back and gloated at Von Schmidt's head, in fancy punching it well-nigh off of him, sending blow after blow home just right the chuckle-headed Dutchman! One thing he did like about him, however.
And George laughed one of those irritating, senseless, chuckle-headed, crack-jawed laughs of his. They do make me so wild. I opened the bag and packed the boots in; and then, just as I was going to close it, a horrible idea occurred to me. Had I packed my toothbrush? I don't know how it is, but I never do know whether I've packed my toothbrush.
I shall be called upon to reform the morals and manners, and look into the petty cares of every chuckle-headed boor and boor's brat for ten miles round. See why boys reject their mush, and why the girls dislike to listen to the exhortations of a mamma, who requires them to leave undone what she has done herself and with sufficient reason too, if her own experience be not wholly profitless.
Can't you see he has lost his mind, with trouble and distress? He's not responsible." "Thank your kind heart, madam, but I've not lost my mind; and if I can have the mere privilege of stepping to the telegraph office " "Well, you can't," cried Marsh. " or sending " "Sending! That beats everything. If there's anybody that's fool enough to go on such a chuckle-headed errand " "Here comes Mr.
For now I think of it, a chuckle-headed fellow, of whom a moment ago I inquired the way to your house, told me I'd better ask the young man and young woman who were 'philandering through the wheat' yonder. Suppose we look for them. From what I've heard of Bent he's too much wrapped up in his inventions for flirtation, but it would be a good joke to stumble upon them." Mrs.

Readin' portry an' droppin' to by-by over it!
I laughed the only really refreshing laugh I had had for some time; and shouted: "Merlin has wrought a spell! Merlin, forsooth! That cheap old humbug, that maundering old ass? Bosh, pure bosh, the silliest bosh in the world! Why, it does seem to me that of all the childish, idiotic, chuckle-headed, chicken-livered superstitions that ev oh, damn Merlin!"
