I'd have flunked A B C's, for this. Nelly, I tell you heaven hasn't got anything on this! As for Uncle Henry, I'll write him to-morrow that I had to get married sort of in a hurry, because Mrs. Newbolt wanted to haul you off to Europe. He'll understand. He's white. And he won't really mind after the first biff; that will take him below the belt, I suppose, poor old Uncle Henry!
"Thanks, old man," said Dunk, briefly, as they reached their room. "You've done more than you know." "That's all right," replied Andy, in a low voice. Dunk went to chapel with Andy the next morning, but he was rather silent during the day, and he flunked miserably in several recitations on the days following.
I'm flunking my job I have flunked it; the letter to the rector is written he's to get it at the end of his holiday. I think I've stopped caring what other people will say, but I hate to hurt him. But you see, I thought it through, and it's the only thing to do just to get out. I picked one definite job, for a sort of test, and it fell through. That settled it.
You see just as the flunkey flunked on the chestnut burr, the fire cracker went off, and the man jumped up and said "Ells-fire, h'am blowed," and he had his hands on his pants, and the air was full of smoke, and dad got on his knees and said, "Now I lay me," and Mr.
"'Yes bet Sam I'd bunco any New York man he'd pick out, and you happened to be the one. You see, wife and I and Sam were here for a few days and we struck Thanksgiving and wanted some fun, and we HAD it. You're white, old man all the way through white as cotton and our kind never flunked once, or turned a hair. Sally took an awful shine to you. Shake!
Without making a very conscious choice, he felt instinctively that it would be agreeable to walk back to Manhattan rather than permit the roaring disillusion of the subway to break in upon his meditations. It is to be feared that Aubrey would have badly flunked any quizzing on the chapters of Somebody's Luggage which the bookseller had read aloud.
"How do you know?" "I met one o' our outfit a bit ago, an' he was sore because yer let ther old feller git away with ther magpie, after yer won him fair. Yer see, he thinks ye flunked on collectin' ther pony." "Not on your life. We don't do business that way." "That's what I was thinkin', so I ast him whichever way ther ole man was headin'. He says inter ther east, tickity-brindle." "Which road?"
Sloan?" "A newspaper syndicate," he explained, "has offered D.K.T. a fortune for a series of them." "Poor Willie!" she sighed. "He flunked his English exam, to-day. I'm afraid I shall have him another year." "He is a lucky boy," said Sloan. "Do you think so?" Clearly her meaning was, "Do you think he is lucky when a powerful newspaper goes out of its way to crush him?"
"Oh, thank you. Delighted, I'm sure, to know you, Miss Dean." The newcomer's conventionally courteous tone conveyed no particular enthusiasm. "Yes; I am a freshman. At least, I hope so. I have one exam. to try. I flunked in geometry at the prep school I attended last year. Had a tutor all summer. Guess I'll scrape through this time." "I hope you will," Marjorie made sincere return.
Well at least since Tif flunked his emotional I've been getting the idea that possibly I've been playing on a third-rate team. No offense, please I don't really believe it's so, and if it isn't so you're tough enough not to be hurt. Far worse I'm a girl. So why am I trying to do things in a man's way, when there are means that are made for me? I'm all of twenty-two.
