"I'll tell you about it after Mollie has 'fessed up," evaded Betty, seeming a trifle sorry for her confidence. "Oh, did Mollie have one, too?" cried Grace delightedly, while Mollie sent her a hostile glance. "Well, you needn't be so glad about it," she retorted glumly. "Maybe it wouldn't seem quite so interesting if it were you and Roy." "Well, how do you know it wasn't?" The three girls stared.
Cleveland "told the truth" when he had to and was made a little tin Jesus of by the moral jabberwocks; Breckinridge, an infinitely better and brainier man, 'fessed up and couldn't go to Congress from the studhorse district of Kentucky. When society goes hunting for scapegoats it usually manages to get a gnat lodged in its esophagus while relegating a mangy dromedary to its internal economy.
Didn't you work at Sweeping Water, Nebraska, some time ago, and didn't you have some kind of a queer smash up there?" Then he 'fessed up and said he had recognized my stuff as soon as he heard it, but hadn't said anything in hopes I wouldn't twig him. "Don't give me away, old chap. I'm flying the flag now and have lost all my former brashness." I never did.
I must admit you are in a mess; but it doesn't begin to be the mess it would have been if you had gone to the game, had a bang-up time, and come home a sneak who had stolen his fun. At least you have done the square thing and 'fessed up, and now you'll be man enough to take what's coming to you. What do you suppose Maitland will do?" "I can guess pretty well pack me off home.
In the closing period of the next forenoon Dick's section did not recite. Greg's did. So Prescott was left alone in the room with his books. Despite himself, Greg was so worried, during that recitation, that he "fessed cold" -that is, he secured a mark but a very little above zero. As soon as the returning section was dismissed Cadet Holmes, his heart beating fast, hurried to his room.
And since it is inevitable that a cave man cannot exist on truffles, chiffon frocks that must not be rumpled, and an interior decorator with a ukulele at his beck and call, Steve had been forced into realizing Mary's worth and loving her for it, giving to her the mature and steady love of a strong man who, like Parker, had made a mistake and not yet 'fessed up.
You believe that, don't you?" "Yes, Steve, but what is it that's happened?" "It's all clear as daylight," said Steve, grinning happily as he seated himself on the bed and tossing his cap toward the table. "It was Sawyer did it. He put up the whole job. He fessed up when 'Horace' got at him. Durkin met him coming out and " "Hold on!" begged Tom. "I don't quite get you, Steve!" Steve laughed.
Closely reported, the substance of her commentary ran as follows "Dave tooktited the mud when I fessed him the mud in my flock" this was illustrated in a way that threatened to outrage a sensitive propriety, the speaker's aunt's "and spooshed up the worty and spooshed up the worty" this repetition had great value "and spooshtited the worty back, and then there wasn't no more mud ... it was all fessed away in my flock ... All dorn! ass, it was all dorn!" this was in a minor key, and thrilled with pathos "and Dave dode to fess more where the new mud was, and was took to the Horsetickle and never come back no more ..." At this point it seemed best to lay stress upon the probable return of Dave, much to Dolly's satisfaction; though she would have been better pleased if a date had been fixed.
Then afterward I gave the other two the benefit of what we had studied, got them out of scrapes, and indeed, being with them so much, kept them out. Don't let's talk about them any more, Ross: I have 'fessed' all now." "Not all, my sweet: you have not told me who it is that has shut your heart from us all." "Don't, Ross!" and she shrank away from him as if he had struck her a blow.
"Dave didn't hardly knowed w'at ter do; but he couldn' tell no lie, so he 'fessed he could read de Bible a little by spellin' out de words. Mars Dugal' look' mighty solemn. "'Dis yer is a se'ious matter, sezee; 'it's 'g'in de law ter l'arn niggers how ter read, er 'low 'em ter hab books. But w'at yer l'arn out'n dat Bible, Dave?
