"How dare you express yourself like that of a man who is respected by such people as Prince Blasenkramf and Prince Kovrishkin!" Nejdanov shrugged his shoulders. "A very nice recommendation! Prince Kovrishkin, that enthusiastic flunky " "Ladislas is my friend," Kollomietzev screamed, "my comrade and I " "So much the worse for you," Nejdanov interrupted him.
Even that little flunky Sailor starts to go up against me but I look at him cool and he chickens. Angel and Pete are real sick, with the shakes and the heaves, but I ain't waiting for them to feel good. "Give me that loot," I tell Tiny, and he hands over the stuff we took off the weirdie. I start to pass out the stuff. "What's to do with this stuff?" Tiny asks me, looking at what I'm giving him.
"Show him in." The inky snickered and hurried out. He could be heard saying with importance, "This way, sir. Look out for that press, sir. It's very dark in here, sir." And then, like a smart flunky in a house of condition, he appeared again at the door and announced "Senator Hannibal St. John." Aladdin sprang up.
"And yet to-day, if you should ask ten Boston men, 'Who was Artemas Ward? nine would say he was an amusing showman. If you asked 'Who was John Thomas? nine would say he was a flunky commemorated by Thackeray." E. E. HALE, "Memorial History of Boston," iii, 100. Frothingham's "Siege," 110. Adams Letters, p. 64.
Truly when madam closes her Villa Tillandsia, and when Coquina Court is bereft of mistress and household butler, footman, maid, and flunky; and when Tsa-na Lah-ni is abandoned by its handsome chatelaine, and the corridors of the vast hotels are dark, it is fashion, not common sense that stirs the flock of gaily gregarious immigrants into premature northern flight; for they go, alas! just as the southland clothes itself in beauty, and are already gone when the Poinciana opens, leaving Paradise to blossom for the lesser brothers of the woodland and the dark-skinned children of the sun.
He had on, as for ordinar', his Heeland dress, and walkit behint me, wi' the bit stick in his hand, and his tail sticking out frae below his kilt, as if he had been my flunky.
Through the State Department he conducts all negotiation and correspondence with other governments and according to the Constitution he receives ambassadors and foreign ministers. Now you might possibly think that that meant only that he must have a flunky at the White House to take their cards but it means a good deal more.
The late earl had chosen to live in London all his life, and had sunk down to be the toadying friend, or perhaps I should more properly say the bullied flunky, of a sensual, wine-bibbing, gluttonous king. Late in life when he was broken in means and character, he had married.
Suddenly Fred began to whistle gayly, loudly, with unquestionable defiance. Then slowly, very slowly, he went back into the house and closed the door... Storch was snoring contentedly. The next afternoon Fred Starratt took the fifty-cent piece that he had earned as flunky to his wife and spent every penny of it in a cheap barber shop on the Embarcadero.
"Nor I," added Shuffles. "I won't vote for Carnes, any how. He's a snob and a flunky." It was useless to resist the fiat of the chief wire-puller; the ticket remained as it had been originally prepared; and the young gentlemen proceeded to distribute the rest of the offices. The students on board of the Young America were between the ages of fourteen and seventeen.
