"What do you mean by that, Dummy?" cried Mark. "You didn't tell me that Darley's boy was coming to fight alongside o' you, Master Mark." "Then I tell you now, Dummy," said Mark haughtily. "We've joined together to crush the robbers; so hold your tongue." "Ay, he'd better," growled Dan. "Well, Master Mark, I don't quite like it; but if you say it's to be done, why, done it shall be."
Jamison was his dummy used by him in order to keep, himself out of trouble." "Oh, Mr. Day! Don't say that" "I say he thinks he has a chance. But he may be mistaken. Strout is sly. This may be merely 'strike suit' started in the hope of scaring you into making a disastrous settlement with him. He wants to get the property back. The foundations for that factory are already being laid.
Now Dummy, let go the rein." "Come on!" growled the lad, leading the frisky little animal, and Master Rayburn chuckled a little, for the boy bent his head, rounded his shoulders, and paid not the slightest heed to the order he had received. "Do you hear, Dummy? Let go." Dummy let go of the rein by passing his arm through, and thrust his hand into his pocket.
So I said "Well they was only one pitcher I ever heard of that couldn't talk and that was Dummy Taylor but at that they's a whole lot of them that if they couldn't say my arm's sore they might as well be tongue tied."
And here, also, they used to have a grand procession, of priests, citizens, soldiers, sailors, and the high dignitaries of the City Government, once a year, to shave the head of a made-up Madonna a stuffed and painted image, like a milliner's dummy whose hair miraculously grew and restored itself every twelve months. They still kept up this shaving procession as late as four or five years ago.
Some day, when she was playing bridge and the card-table had been moved out, in some rubber when she herself was dummy and Elizabeth greedily playing the hand, she would secretly and accidentally press the catch which her acute vision had so providentially revealed to her.... She attacked her chintz curtains again with her appetite for the pink roses agreeably whetted.
"That's where he put a dummy in place of what he thinks is the one with the bills in," thought Nat, who was watching closely. "He'll skip out soon, I guess." His conjecture was right. A few minutes later Professor Punjab, who had not undressed, stole from his berth and walked softly to the end of the car. "I wonder if he'll jump off," thought Nat. But the fakir had no such intentions.
Another was when you ran away after knocking that lamp over at the fair, the other day, and left Rosher and me to get out of the bother as best we could. That was what practically got me thrown out of the school. For two pins I'd punch your head, you miserable tailor's dummy!"
"You go if you want to," said Meagle, "and we will play dummy. Or you might ask the tramp to take your hand for you, as you go downstairs." Barnes shivered and exclaimed angrily. He got up and, walking to the half-closed door, listened. "Go outside," said Meagle, winking at the other two. "I'll dare you to go down to the hall door and back by yourself."
Then we'll go at once." "What, us two?" "Of course!" "We couldn't fight all that lot. Six to one!" "No; we must go and tell my father at once." "That's best way," said Dummy, jumping off the stone. "Come on," and they started off at once for the tiny camp, discussing the possibility of the men finding the way through. "Suppose they got into the mine, and attacked the Black Tor while we're away?"
