"You've the run o' Putnam's same as me. And you're an eddicated man from Oxford College, where they knows all there is to know." He was limping away. Joses hung on his heels. "Steady on, old sport," he said. "D'you mean that?"
Sometimes" his shyness returned momentarily and he hesitated "sometimes I make believe that I'm playing, you know; put myself, in imagination, in the place of one of the team. To-day I to-day I was you," he added with a deprecatory laugh. "You don't say?" cried Neil. Then the pathos of it struck him and he was silent a moment.

Her notice was now attracted by a child's voice, at some distance. It appeared to call her name. Looking in the direction whence it proceeded, Phoebe saw little Ned Higgins, a good way down the street, stamping, shaking his head violently, making deprecatory gestures with both hands, and shouting to her at mouth-wide screech. "No, no, Phoebe!" he screamed. "Don't you go in!

"And you will do it!" interrupted Morgana eagerly, "You will use your best skill and knowledge everything you wish shall be at your service name whatever fee your merit claims " He raised his hand with a deprecatory gesture. "Money does not count with me, Signora!" he said "Nor with you. The point with both of us in all our work is success! Is it not so? Yes!

But he was following out some thought of his own, and now rose, went to Mrs. Marshall-Smith's fine, small desk, snapped on an electric light, and began to write. When he finished, he handed a bit of paper to Sylvia. "Do you suppose your sister would be willing to let me make up for the objectionable Charlie Winthrop's deficiences?" he asked with a deprecatory air as though he feared a refusal.
Then he picked up Foster's portmanteau and called a porter, who was moving some clanging milk cans, to bring his bag. "Never mind; I'll take it," Foster told him.
