I nearly laughed a rib loose watchin' them baby ducks waddle around solemn, every one with that cut-up look in his eye. Say, they're born comedians, ducks are. I'll bet if you could translate that quack-quack patter of theirs you'd get lines that would be a reg'lar scream on the big time circuit.
The moose-steaks had vanished like the "snaw-wreath in the thaw" before anything much was said, save: "Nothin' th' matter with moose, hey?" "Nop! Bet your life." The "Salmi of ptarmigan" appeared as a great wash of gravy in which portions of the much cut-up bird swam in vain for their lives.
Well, never mind, you may live to be a poor, old, cut-up crittur, like me. Hope to the Lord ye will, I do; then see if ye won't drink, drink, drink, yerself into torment; and sarve ye right, too ugh!" and, with a malignant howl, the woman left the room. "Disgusting old beast!" said Adolph, who was getting his master's shaving-water. "If I was her master, I'd cut her up worse than she is."
Finally we end up on the big davenport in front of the fireplace and indulge in a few minutes of lively chat. "Well, 'Ikky-boy, how you and Buddy been behavin' yourselves, eh?" I'll ask. "Which has been the worst cut-up today, eh?" "Buddy bad dog," he'll say, battin' him over the head with a pink fist. "See?" And he'll exhibit a tear in his rompers or a chewed sleeve. "Huh!
You can have an old toothache that will make you feel like committing suicide; and when you get to the dentist shop you wish you had committed suicide before you got there," and jolly little Bobby began to grin again. "Suicide is a serious matter," said Nellie, gravely. "Surely, surely," the cut-up replied, dropping her voice to a gruesome pitch. "Listen!
"Never guy a customer or 'kid him along' for the amusement of a by-stander or a fellow clerk. This is a common practice in some clothing stores. The offender is usually a self-satisfied clerk who has had just enough success as a salesman to make him egotistical. "He thinks he is a regular dare-devil and that by making sport of his customer he may win a reputation as the village cut-up.
"Oh, yes we did," grunted the smaller girl. "That is, we kissed. Lil was already made up." "Now, Bobby!" admonished Laura. "That's horrid of you, Bobby," Nellie declared. "You are incorrigible." Yet they all had to laugh. Bobby Hargrew was just a cut-up! "I'm worse than the long word you called me, Nell," said little Miss Hargrew.
The desired object in body formation is to obtain great girth at the brisket, and the smallest possible around the waist, that is, the loins should be arched very high, when the dog is said to have a good "cut-up." The back should be short and strong, very broad at the shoulder and comparatively narrow at the loins.
Yet not a few of these petitioners had never been outside of the London smoke; a sort of crafty aristocracy in their way, who, without having endangered their own persons much if anything, reaped no insignificant share both of the glory and profit of the bloody battles they claimed; while some of the genuine working heroes, too brave to beg, too cut-up to work, and too poor to live, laid down quietly in corners and died.
Then, when each man had lashed a light load upon his shoulders with a portion of the cut-up traces, they set out again, and it rained upon them heavily all that day. During the four following days they were buffeted by a furious wind, but the temperature had risen, and the snow was melting fast, and splashing knee-deep through slush and water they made progress.
