So chummy, Red, he was ready to let a knife into me, and now he says he was in the navy; well up to his flag, too, and the queen's commission, all nice and handy. He thinks he's too nice to mix with the likes of us; he says as how we won't know how to blow the loot ladylike and decent. Mind that, Reddy? Ho, ho, ho!" "It's this way, Reddy," explained Thirkle.
Then he would return to us, with an added gimpiness in his elderly legs, an increased expansion of the chest inside his tight and shiny frock coat, and a fresh freight of richness on his breath, to report another deserved promotion. After he had eaten luncheon all except such portions of it as he spilled on himself the colonel grew confidential and chummy.
He walked straight into the sitting-room, the biggest feat since Daniel and the lions' den, without a quiver. What's more, his magnetism or whatever they call it was such that the dashed animal, instead of pinning him by the leg, calmed down as if he had had a bromide, and rolled over on his back with all his paws in the air. If Jeeves had been his rich uncle he couldn't have been more chummy.
"Jock, tell me, how did you happen to come here a day ahead of me, and how do you happen to be so chummy with that pretty, weak- faced little thing at the veiling counter, and how, in the name of all that's unbelievable, have you managed to become a grown-up in the last few months?" Jock regarded the mercifully faded roses in the carpet. His lower lip came forward again.
'Bout two weeks ago me and him had a couple of cocktails at Mouquin's. You know how chummy he always gets after a couple of smiles. Well, he was talking about I was saying you're a good man and hoping you were having a good time and he said, `Yes, he says, `he's a good man, but he sure did lay himself wide open by taking this trip.
Why, many a night" his voice took on a reminiscent note and the girls felt once again that they were privileged in having a brief glimpse of the life "over there" "when a surprise attack was scheduled for the next morning or we were waiting for some such manoeuvre from the enemy, Arnold would talk to me about his dad that was the time when fellows got chummy, you know, and got to know each other's souls and once he gave me a note for the old chap and asked me to deliver it if I came through and he didn't.
Was I right, momsie?" "My baby! It's like I can't realize it. So young!" "He took the measure of my finger, mama, with a piece of string. A diamond, he says, not too flashy, but neat." "We have 'em, and we suffer for 'em, and we lose 'em." "He's going to trade in the flivver for a chummy roadster, and " "Oh, darling, it's like I can't bear it!"
"It's just simply contrary, that's all. There's only one person in town who knows anything about gas engines, and he's Urian Eliot's chauffeur. I suppose I could get him to tinker this contraption up if I only was chummy with Roger." "Anyway," said Herbert, "I should think it would shake one up fearfully riding over these rough country roads. We have some roads around Boston."
Red ain't told her what I told him. We're sure going to have an awful chummy time on our jingle bell party back to old Mart's." And he went on with his tale until Wayne returning from the kitchen stopped him. Shandon had written his note and gave it to Dart as the two men went out to saddle the horses.
He's cool because play doesn't bite him, as it did Ambrose. I should say the other passion has never bitten him. And he's alive and presentable; Ambrose under a sheet, with Chummy Potts to watch. Chummy cried like a brat in the street for his lost mammy. I left him crying and sobbing. They have their feelings, these "children of vapour," as you call them.
