Let me in!" added he, impatiently. "What are you doing with them long sticks?" asked Joe, opening the gate and observing two hickory poles in Sneak's hand. "Are you going to try your luck fishing?" "No, nor ducking nother," replied he, sarcastically. "Plague it, Sneak," said Joe, deprecatingly, "never mind that affair; you were mistaken about my being frightened.
"No, I don't want nothin', Tom," he said. Then, after a pause, he added, very softly: "I jest thought I'd step in." "Where are you going?" asked Tom. The hat was turned round again. "Whar wus I a-gwine?" deprecatingly. "Whar? Oh! I I was a-gwine I was a-gwine to Marthy's, I guess." "You're pretty late," remarked Tom; "better lose no time; it's a pretty bad road between here and there."
"Did ye hide it from yer MOTHER an' tell NATE GRIGGS?" Birt hung his head. The folly of it! "What ailed ye, ter hide it from me?" she asked deprecatingly, holding out her worn, hard-working hands. "Hev I ever done ye harm?" "Nuthin' but good." "Don't everybody know a boy's mother air bound ter take his part agin all the worl'?" "Everybody but me," said the penitent Birt.
Leverett, glancing deprecatingly at Betty, pleading with the most beseeching eyes that she should not ruffle Aunt Priscilla up the wrong way.

"Father thinks by the time she is grown it will be a handsome fortune."
Devilish good old mare!" No child of man is too learned, or too quiet, or too humble, to feel flattered at praise of his horse. Mr. Waxy blushed a moist yellow as he replied, "Very good of you to remember her, Sir Guy; docile and safe, and gentle withal, Sir Guy.

He slapped down his ball, took a full swing, and carried the far-off bank with a low, shooting drive that continued bounding on. "That ought to roll forever," said Pickings, red with excitement. "The course is fast dry as a rock," said Booverman, deprecatingly. Pickings put three balls precisely into the bubbling water, and drew alongside on his eighth shot.

He had a latent feeling that Judaism had flourished before England was invented, and so the poet's remark was secretly pleasing to him. "You know very well," went on Pinchas, "that I and you are the only two persons in London who can write correct Holy Language." "No, no." said the Rabbi, deprecatingly.
Pharaoh cast a glance of imploring anxiety at Bai, the second prophet, and the other councillors; but the former shrugged his shoulders deprecatingly and, pretending to yield his own opinion to the divine wisdom of Pharaoh, acceded to Hosea's request.
Hepplewhite who has been referred to in the testimony as the owner of the house in which the defendant was found?" inquired O'Brien. "Yes yes," answered Mr. Hepplewhite deprecatingly. "The first witness Bibby is in your employ?" "Yes yes." "Did you have a silver tea set of the value of er at least five hundred dollars in the house?" "It was worth fifteen thousand," corrected Mr. Hepplewhite. "Oh!
Suddenly desisting from this elegant occupation, his eye caught sight of the parson's shovel-hat, which lay on a chair in the corner. "You're a clergyman, I reckon, sir," said the traveller, with a slight sneer. Again Mr. Dale bowed, bowed in part deprecatingly, in part with dignity. It was a bow that said, "No offence, sir, but I am a clergyman, and I'm not ashamed of it."
