"That I can well believe," said Sancho at this, "for to come out with drolleries is not in everybody's line; and that Sancho your worship speaks of, gentle sir, must be some great scoundrel, dunderhead, and thief, all in one; for I am the real Sancho Panza, and I have more drolleries than if it rained them; let your worship only try; come along with me for a year or so, and you will find they fall from me at every turn, and so rich and so plentiful that though mostly I don't know what I am saying I make everybody that hears me laugh.
"It's that blessed DEAR old dunderhead of a Dimmidge I'm thinking of. That gets me. I see it all now. Only, sakes alive! I never thought THAT of him. Oh, it's just too much!" and she again relapsed behind her handkerchief. "Then I suppose you don't want to reply to it," said the editor. Her laughter instantly ceased. "Don't I?" she said, wiping her face into its previous complacent determination.
But the deuce take the old formal dunderhead, and his more sly associate, who speaks always under his breath; they cannot understand a plain man's story when it is told them.
"I'll go crazy if I don't speak!" he cried. At the first word the buck went scudding like the wind through the forest, doubtless vowing by the shades of his ancestors that he never would stand to gaze at a light again. "And and I can't shoot the thing while it's looking at me like that!" the boy blurted out. "You dunderhead!
"What a funny idea, duck!" replied Grannie, still carefully keeping up the attitude of old dunderhead; "but I'm sure I'll be only too delighted to go back home with you, and take the children out on the Heath this afternoon. And I'll put them to bed, too. You'll help me with these very little children, won't you, Georgie?" "'Ess, G'annie," replied George importantly.
"Why don't you take what you want? I I should respect you then." "But I want you to love me," he answered quietly. She drew a quick breath, and became suddenly quite rigid, intensely still. His arm grew a little closer about her. "Don't you know I am in love with you, Chirpy?" he asked her very softly. "Am I such a dunderhead that I haven't made that plain?"
"And that big dunderhead Mege who works for every party except his own!" exclaimed Morin; "what a dupe he is with that idea that he need merely overthrow first one cabinet and then another, in order to become the leader of one himself!" The mention of Mege brought them all to agreement, for they unanimously hated him.
I never saw such a dunderhead; can't you understand anything at all? In plain terms, do they shut up shop, draw the game, bank the fires " "Shut up shop, draw " "There, never mind, let it go; you make me tired. You can't seem to understand the simplest thing."
Then the sun dipped below the sea-rim, and the blue Pacific was shrouded in darkness. "Why in thunder couldn't the dunderhead put a bomb into that fish before it came on dark?" growled the skipper to his other officers, as they sat down to a harried sapper in the spacious, old-fashioned cabin of the whaler. No one answered.
I am sure that of all educational processes there is none better than book-making; and the man who begins by making books must be a dolt, dunce, and dunderhead, if he do not end by writing them. So you may yet hope to see the morning that shall make your Valentine famous for a fortnight. What man can hope to be famous for more than a fortnight in such a railroad age as this?"
