"My dear fellow, why in the world not? If you don't, some other house will get it. Biffen's deserves two fellows in the eleven this year." "They do, by Jove!" "Then let us have the satisfaction of keeping out another Corker fellow."
Aren't you all millionaires at St. Amory's?" "Not by a long chalk." "Well, I don't want to be unpleasant, my buck, but if you won't pay over I'll show you up." "Show me up, you beast what do you mean?" "I'll write to Corker and blow the gaff." "If you did that," said Bourne, grimly, "I'd kill you first day I could do it." "Or I'd write to your brother." "And he'd do it now, you skunk!"
Then came the two comedians. They talked with fearful rapidity; their wit and repartee seemed inexhaustible. "As I was going down the street yesterday " "Ah! as YOU were going down the street all right." "I saw a girl at a window " "YOU saw a girl at a window." "And this girl she was a corker "
"Fact," replied MacDavid calmly, knocking the ashes out of his pipe, "It was this way: It was near th' edge of th' bush where th' bear first jumped me, an' just as we hit th' open ground one o' them warm Chinook winds sprung up behind us, travellin' east. . . . "Man!" He paused impressively. "The way that wind started in to melt th' snow was a corker just like lard in a fryin'-pan.
You don't know my chum, Olaf Ericson, do you? He's the biggest man on the force, and he's a corker. I've learned more from him about bad smells than I did in two years of chemistry at New Haven.
Haney is a corker. Good start on a self-made career. They're both unsophisticated in a way, and a little real sympathy will drag their secret history to the light. Do a sketch of her for me. She's likely to be famous. It wouldn't surprise me to see her on Fifth Avenue one of these days. With these few burning words I commend them into your plastic hands. Don't let Sammy paint her, for God's sake.
Johnny was a-settin' in the corner of the kitchen unbeknownst to her, and heard all she said. An', la me, what you reckon he done? He up an' laid down law an' gospel right on the spot, bless you! Jim Cahews wasn't goin' a step with 'er. Johnny could afford to hire a livery-stable team if he had to borrow the money, an' he was goin' to take 'er." "That was a corker, wasn't it?"
I was only a boy, and on the previous evening the captain of the Checkers Club, to whom I looked up with an almost worshipping reverence, had slapped me on the back and told me that I was a corker. I felt that nothing could be excessive payment for such an honor. That night I gave a party at which orange phosphate flowed like water. It was the turning point. I had got the habit!
He was kind of over his panic by this time, and I guess he saw the sense of it all. "Bill," he said, "it's a weight off my mind to have you know the truth. Fetch along Tom, and I'll do anything you two say, for I've nearly split my old head trying to find a way out; but what could I do single handed?" "Tom's a corker," I said. "He's got an imagination like a box factory.
From the title it's one of those middle-age Italian things that costume well." "Oh, is it?" he exclaimed. "Well, I'll get right at it." Her interest in it more than the title moved him. It was a most hopeful sign of weakening on her part. He came to lunch full of enthusiasm. "Say, sis, that play is a corker. There is a part in it that sees the Baroness and goes her one better.
