"Oh, Willie!" said Master Arthur, "we've been talking over your misfortunes geranium? fiddlesticks! put it in your button-hole your misfortunes, I say, and for to-night at any rate we intend to help you out of them. But mind, this is on one condition. You must not say anything about it about our walking back with you, I mean to anybody. Say nothing; but get ready and come to school as usual.
"Here he is," said the man, and held up the snake. Mr. Miller says: "Oh, fiddlesticks! That's a blue racer, as harmless as the peck of a chicken." Then he took hold of Mitch and shook him and says: "Here, Mitch, this is all foolishness you're just scart; that snake ain't pisen. He can't hurt you more than a chicken." So Mitch sat right up and looked at his hand which wasn't swelled.
"Fiddlesticks. You don't encourage her in such nonsense, I hope, Neville." "I? It's not for me to encourage Nan in anything. She doesn't need it. But as to marriage yes, I think I wish she would do it, sometime, whenever she's ready. It would give her something she hasn't got; emotional steadiness, perhaps I mean. She squanders a bit, now.
"I shall never forget him, mamma," said Alice, in a low tone, thinking of the numerous promises she had made to the same effect within the past few days. "Fiddlesticks! How often have you said that? A half-dozen times at least. There's Norman and Ferdy Wickersham and " "I have not forgotten them," said Alice, a little impressed by her mother's argument. "Of course, you have not.
Meanwhile, as the dull, polyphonous roar of voices swept through the neck of the defile, a man shouted in broken, but truculent, accents: "I say no! Fiddlesticks! Not a man is there who could drink more than a vedro of 'blood-and-sweat' in a day." "A man could drink a lake of it." "No, a vedro and a half. That is the proper reckoning." "Aye, a vedro and a half."
Old Jolyon spoke; it was he who had started the discussion. "Four hundred fiddlesticks! Don't tell me you gave four hundred for that?" Between the points of his collar Swithin's chin made the second painful oscillatory movement of the evening. "Four-hundred-pounds, of English money; not a farthing less. I don't regret it. It's not common English it's genuine modern Italian!"
Oliver considered for a moment, drew Abby to colloquy by the pump, and sought his brother behind the woodpile. Then he returned to the charge. "Look here, Father," he said, "CASH DOWN, we'll take ten." John Murchison was a man of few words, but they were usually impregnated with meaning, especially in anger. "No more of this," he said. "Celebrate fiddlesticks! Go and make yourselves of some use.
"Fate fiddlesticks!" said Tish. "There's no such thing as fate in affairs of this sort. It's all instinct the instinct of the race to continue itself." This Aggie regarded as indelicate and she was rather cool to Tish the balance of the day. Our prisoner spent most of the day at the end of the island toward us, sitting quietly, as we could sec through the glasses.
For a second time Miss Warren broke off; but now Norvin heard her cry out gladly to some one. He held the receiver patiently until his arm cramped, then rang up again. "Oh, I forgot all about you, Norvin dear," she chattered. "Vittoria has just come, so I can't talk to you any more. Won't you run out and meet her? I know she's just dying to She says she isn't, either! Oh, fiddlesticks!
Some spend fifty thousand I know several who go over a hundred." "It's monstrous!" Montague exclaimed. "Fiddlesticks!" was the other's response. "Why, thousands of people live by it wouldn't know anything else to do." Montague said nothing to that. "Can you afford to have Alice compete with such women indefinitely?" he asked. "I have no idea of her doing it indefinitely," was Oliver's reply.
