"An' we did run it, for a while," responded Buck. "But that only goes to show that most young men are chumps we were just about yore age then." Red laughed at the youngster's discomfiture: "That little squib of yourn shore touched her off I reckon we irrigates on yu this time, don't we?" "Th' more th' Kid talks, th' more money he needs," remarked Lanky, placing his glass on the bar.
Neither nature nor inherited experience had taught the pheasant to hide its eye; the bird not only wished to conceal itself, but to watch my motions and, looking up from its cover, was immediately observed. At a turn of the lane there was a great heap of oak "chumps," crooked logs, sawn in lengths, and piled together.
"Do you want to try it again?" asked Polly. "Will a fish swim?" answered Jean. "Do you think I'm going to let this side-wheeler shipwreck me? Not on your life, Captain. Clear out, the whole bunch of you chumps. If I've got to cross the equator I'll have the escort of ladies, not a bunch of rough-necks. Beat it!
"You fellows are a lot of chumps!" he exclaimed, suddenly getting angry. "You treat this matter lightly now, but you are likely to change your tune after the race." The boys were well satisfied, for they saw he was getting aroused. "Oh, I don't know as we treat it so very lightly," said Emery. "We've got to have our fun, no matter what we may think."
"It certainly was that to those chumps," laughed Lanky. "Oh, how much we missed in not being on the spot! All Buster's faults for stumbling when he did, and letting go of the rope. Why under the sun didn't he hold on with a death grip?" demanded Tom Budd. "Hold on? Goodness gracious, that dog would have dragged him over every rock and stump for a mile. A pretty sight he'd have been after that.
Maurice, in his shirt sleeves, lifted his hat; then looked at Edith and grinned. "Did you ever see such idiots? Those men are chumps. Did you hear the fat one jaw at the girl?" "Did he?" Edith said, timidly. She could hardly bear to look at Maurice, he was so wonderful. But he, entirely good-natured again, was overflowing with fun. "Let's turn around," he said, "and follow 'em!
Her money sunk, her husband's money lost! She knew she was the chief beneficiary of the will don't you see what Whitmore's death meant to her? We've deluded ourselves into the belief that it was to her interest to keep Whitmore alive. What chumps we were."
Greater part of the route strewn with pieces of petrified wood, but no pretty fossil remains. Wood, apparently chumps of the tholh. We had all day the new range of black mountains on our right, which extend southwards far beyond the Fezzanee country to the Tibboos. Intensely cold all day, the air misty, and the wind from north-west. But I prefer this cold to the heat of yesterday.
Sir Brian reads his letters, and chumps his dry toast. Ethel whispers to her mother, she thinks Eliza is looking very ill. Lady Anne asks, which is Eliza? Is it the woman that was ill before they left town? If she is ill, Mrs. Trotter had better send her away. Mrs. Trotter is only a great deal too good-natured. She is always keeping people who are ill.
From time to time over 2,197 actors have had to walk home on account of Pete's cold feet. Pete can develop a severe case of frosted pave pounders quicker than any angel that ever had to dig for the oatmeal money. Pete is an Ace all right the Ace of Chumps! His long suit when he isn't dishing out his autobiography is to stand around a race track and bark at the bookmakers.
