No thinking person took their bombast seriously; the authorities, with great good sense, let it pass for what it was a noisy blowing-off of steam. At heart, the diggers were as sound as good pippins. A graver consideration was Purdy's growing fellowship with the rebel faction. The boy was too young and still too much of a fly-by-night to have a black mark set against his name.
Even your first-class certificates, and Sir George Stratherne, and all the Lords put together, couldn't get you out of that. And, then, the ignominy of it! Question: What on earth made you take the Fly-by-Night in to Brighton? Answer: Please, sir ax yer pardon, sir! I only wanted to spoon one o' them doosid pretty Beresford girls. 'Thomas, leave the room! said his mother, in a violent rage.
Some ac's is booked out through the circuit from N' Yawk; others is booked up by some li'l fly-by-night agent, gettin' a date here an' a date there, terrible jumps between stands, see? and nev' knowin' one week where you're goin' the nex', or whether at all. Well, Florette was gettin' her bookin' that way. An' on that you gotta make good with each house you play, get me?
"Ef you means dat stuck-up fly-by-night Cissie Dildine, say so, and don' stan' thaiuh mouthin', 'Miss Dildine, Miss Dildine'!" "Mother," asked Peter, thickly, through his swelling mouth, "do you want to know what did happen?" "I knows. I tol' you to keep away fum dat hussy. She's a fool 'bout her bright color an' straight hair. Needn't be givin' herse'f no airs!"
The steersman had a box in the rear and in this there was room for Janice to ride, too. The sheet-tender likewise ballasted the boat by lying out on one or the other end of the crosspiece. There was a keen wind, not exactly fair for the trip down the lake; yet their sheet filled nicely on the longer tack, and the Fly-by-Night swept out from the Poketown dock at a very satisfactory speed.
Who gave you leave! A boy, a fly-by-night, to meddle in my affairs! Do you think I can't look after myself? What good have you done? You have done this rascal the honor of fighting him. He asked no more. You have made him a hero. Idiot! I should never have forgiven you as long as you lived!..."
Your Mrs. Fly-by-Night, oh it doesn't matter! whatever she calls herself, must look after herself. I can't do anything for her. I'm not supposed even to know about her. I daresay she'll find her consolations. I suppose you want to go out of London and get away from it all. I can help you there, perhaps. I'm tired of London too. It's been a tiresome season. Oh! tiresome and disappointing!
'Yes, they want a smart fellow, said he, without any great interest; and he was about to turn to Lady Beresford again when Nan continued 'Would it would it surprise you if you heard you were to be transferred to the Fly-by-Night? 'I shouldn't like to hear of it, said he, laughing; 'I am satisfied where I am. 'But I mean to command her.
Like a great bird or a huge batfish leaping from the sea the ice boat shot out on a long curve from the summit of the hard-packed snowdrift. The shock of its return to the ice was terrific. Janice felt sure the boat must be racked to bits. But the Fly-by-Night was strongly built.
"Toward the West Side where those fly-by-night garages are all located." "Or, perhaps, the Jersey ferries," suggested Garrick. "Well, I thought you might like to know about this undersized driver," said McBirney a little sulkily because Garrick had not displayed as much enthusiasm as he expected. "I do," hastened Garrick. "Of course I do. And it may prove to be a very important clew.
