That is the ex-Congressman: the poor fellow whose life has been ruined by a two-year taste of glory and of fictitious consequence; who has been superseded, and ought to take his heartbreak home and hide it, but cannot tear himself away from the scene of his lost little grandeur; and so he lingers, and still lingers, year after year, unconsidered, sometimes snubbed, ashamed of his fallen estate, and valiantly trying to look otherwise; dreary and depressed, but counterfeiting breeziness and gaiety, hailing with chummy familiarity, which is not always welcomed, the more-fortunes who are still in place and were once his mates.
"The thing to do first," said she with the air of a general, "is to find out which ones are the Dark of the Moon Society. Then we can watch those particularly." "They're probably all in it," said Gladys. "I don't think they are," said Katherine. "I'll lay my wager on the Captain, Slim and the Bottomless Pitt. Those three are mighty chummy all of a sudden.
At times, when you have been unusually mean, I have thought I hated you, but when I have said something ugly to you, and have laid awake all night regretting it, it has occurred to me that you were about the best friend I had. I think it makes an old man forget his years, to be chummy with a live boy, full of ginger, and I do like you, condemn you, and I can't help it.
He was quite chummy mighty fine chap. Young fellow, too almost a kid. When I got up this morning " Billy shrugged his shoulders again and pointed to his empty pistol holster. "Everything was gone dogs, sledge, extra tent, even my rifle and automatic. He wasn't quite bad, though, for he left me my grub. He was a funny cuss, too. Look at that!"
GEORGE. I want to get time to go down to the shops and say goodbye to some of the men. ASHER. No, I shouldn't do that, George. Why not? I used to be pretty chummy with them, you know, smoke a pipe with them occasionally in the noon hour. ASHER. I know. But it doesn't do for an employer to be too familiar with the hands in these days.
I fell in with the harbour-master, who seems quite a decent sort of chap, as Spaniards go; he and I have gradually grown to be rather chummy since we have been in harbour here, and upon the strength of the fact that I was clearing for sea I took him into that place on the quay yonder and cracked a farewell bottle of wine with him.
We got chummy enough, so she told me all about herself her father's a big contractor and has money to burn." "Did you ever hear the beat of that, Enright? Neddy is about to feather his nest. Well, go on." "That's about all, I guess, only she ain't nothin' you need be afraid of." "Sure not, with a watch-dog like you on guard.
Afterward he took the other fellows down to the gymnasium, where Biff Bates drew him to one side. "Look here, old pal!" said Bates. "I saw you real chummy with T. W. Tight-Wad Trimmer to-night." "Yes?" admitted Bobby interrogatively. "Well, you know I don't go around with my hammer out, but I want to put you wise to this mut.
Even Tom Cameron's pride in her pictures only made the girl glad that she succeeded in delighting him. For Ruth and Tom were closer friends now than ever before and for years they had been "chummy."
And all of them are written in his horrible face. To see them together, friendly, reparteeing, chummy, would turn your stomach Barbara so exquisite and high-born, and the man, his eyes full of evil fires, sitting like a great toad on the model's chair. And at that good God, you might stand it, if he was a whole man! But he isn't. It's horrible!
