He had called to see Leila, but she had gone to a beech dance and left him alone. He never paid any attention to me when she was around, and I recieved him cooly. "Hello!" he said. "Well?" I replied. "Is that the way you greet me, Bab?" "It's the way I would greet most any Left-over," I said. "I eat hash at school, but I don't have to pretend to like it." "I came to see YOU."
He manoeuvred so cunningly that I could not get within half a dozen rods of him. Each time, when he came to the surface, turning his head this way and that, he cooly surveyed the water and the land, and apparently chose his course so that he might come up where there was the widest expanse of water and at the greatest distance from the boat.
But Margery shook her head. "I don't know anything about it," she said. "You're mistaken," said Nyoda cooly to the man, "we know nothing whatever about this Sal person." Just then she drew her hand from her pocket with a convulsive movement, and out flew the scarab at the man's feet. He picked it up with a triumphant movement. "Oh, no, you don't know anything about it," he said.
Otherwise Nan might have been much afraid during the first mile of the journey to Pine Camp, for certainly she had never seen horses behave so before. "Haven't been out of the stable for a week," explained Tom cooly as the roans plunged and danced, and "cut up didos" generally, as Uncle Henry remarked. "We had a big fall of snow," Tom went on to say.
"Did you ever observe me before?" asked Clemence as cooly as possible, resolved to cultivate obtuseness, and not apply his words personally, "I suppose, now, in a quiet place like this, any stranger is subjected to the comments and surmises of nearly all the inhabitants. By the way, how many do you suppose the place numbers?"
"How many by my labours, that evermore endure, * All goods of life enjoy and in cooly shade recline?
And that's the matter with you, Cooly." "What!" Coolidge looked startled. "I knew you were a man who jumped to conclusions in the old days " "And acted on them, too," admitted Burns. "I should say I did. And got myself into many a scrape thereby, of course. Well, I jump to conclusions now, in just the same way, only perhaps with a bit more understanding of the ground I jump on.
Then she burst into laughter; she could not help it, the sight was too ridiculous. A moment later Patsy was laughing, too, and then Aunt Jane allowed a grim smile to cross her features. "Never mind, Louise," she said, with remarkable cheerfulness; "We'll compromise matters." "How?" asked Patsy. "By putting a plate for Kenneth," said her aunt, cooly.
His face showed suddenly certain grim lines which Coolidge had not noticed there before lines written by endurance, nothing less. But even as the patient looked the physician's expression changed again. His sternly set lips relaxed into a smile, he pointed to a motioning porter. "Time to be off, Cooly," he said. "Mind you let me know how you are. Good luck the best of it!"
Two or three days afterwards Jogesh again called to tell him that an opportunity of making Rs. 10,000 net had occurred owing to the pressing demand for cooly freight from a ship which was lying half-empty, and costing large sums for demurrage.
