"I have not read much, O'Brien, to-day, for I have been thinking of poor Mr Chucks." "Very right for you so to do, Peter: never forget your friends in a hurry; you'll not find too many of them as you trot along the highway of life." "I wonder whether he is dead?"
'I'm not surprised that you do, all the world do, and the public chucks down its coppers to the poor hartist; but 'e aint no hartist, no more than is them 'ere boys that did for my show. Leaning still further forward, he lowered his voice to a whisper. 'They learns it all by 'art; there is schools for the teaching of it down in Whitechapel.
The three rose at the first fence all together, the white shirt sandwiched between the dark jackets. Jim Silver felt a thrill at his heart. That thunder of hoofs moved him to his deeps. "Gallops very wide behind," he remarked casually. "That's Berserk, that is," muttered the old man, adjusting his glasses. "Chucks the mud about a treat, don't he?"
You've no idea of her size until you are on her decks." "I should like to be boatswain of her, Mr Simple; that is, with Captain Savage, for I will not part with him." I had some more conversation with Mr Chucks, but I was obliged to attend to others, who interrupted us. We had a very pleasant dinner with our old captain, to whom we gave a history of our adventures, and then we returned on board.
"Yes; he's gone down the road with Kate Bernard to play tennis, or some such foolery." "With Kate?" "Rather! Didn't expect anything else, did you?" "Does he mean to marry that girl?" asked Ayre, with a face of great innocence, much as if it had just occurred to him. "Well, he can't, unless she chucks old Eugene over." "Will she, do you think?" "Well, I'm afraid not.
They were very fond of young Chucks. It would be great fun to see the fright of Johnny Chuck and his family when Reddy Fox or Redtail the Hawk appeared. Sammy Jay chuckled wickedly as he flew. When he reached the Green Forest and stopped in his favorite hemlock-tree to rest, he was still chuckling. But by that time it was a different kind of a chuckle.
"When I am dead and buried, you may do as you please; it may then be of service to other people, although my story is not a very long one." Mr Chucks then sat down upon the fore-end of the booms by the funnel, and I took my place by his side, when he commenced as follows: "My father was a boatswain before me one of the old school, rough as a bear, and drunken as a Gosport fiddler.
On one of his infrequent rounds he had encountered a strange odor in Number One, a suspicious, musty odor that refused to come under the classification of krout, kerosene, or herring. The tenants, in a united body, indignantly defended the smell. "It ain't nothin' at all but Mis' Smelts' garbage," Mrs. Snawdor declared vehemently. "She often chucks it in a hole in the kitchen floor to save steps.
"Alas! sweet chucks," quoth he, "here I must leave you. I had not thought to come this way, but I am glad that I did so. Now, ere we part, we must drink sweet friendship." So saying, he unslung the leathern pottle from the end of his staff, and, drawing the stopper therefrom, he handed it to the lass who had carried his staff, first wiping the mouth of the pottle upon his sleeve.
I like a wash as well as any man, trousers, jersey, drawers, and all. I'm always at 'em when I get a place for a rinse by the side of a creek. But when my things are so gone that they won't hang on comfortable any longer, I chucks 'em away and buys more. Two jerseys is good, and two drawers is good, because of wet. Boots is awkward, and I allays does with one pair.
