Frankly, then, I funked it. But now the time has come when I can't put it off any longer. "Little old pal, have you ever wondered why I loved you so much why you stood so close to my heart? But there was never anything of that with us, was there? I bullied you, I know, when you needed it, but we were always comrades.
I hitched the parachute on to my leg, got on the edge of the basket, and then well, I all but funked it. I remember my last thought was a horrible simile of a man jumping off a tree with a rope round his neck, and then somehow or other I forced myself to let go. Concerning the next few seconds I can give no statistics, whether as to height or pace.
"Funked it!" said his father again. "You wouldn't do that, Barry?" "Oh, wouldn't I, though? I am afraid you don't know me very well, dad. However, I rather think I had started him up before that, you know. You won't like this either. But I may as well go through with it.
But the lights were up, and the curtain down it was a theatre between the acts; and presently the calculating voice of McCutcheon broke forth again, as he relapsed into his original attitude, coiling up his long limbs and nursing his cigar to a glow. "I can't get over that 'four jacks," he said. "To think I could have been funked into seeing Billy at fifty!" Blake laughed.
Besides, Ray, does it matter to a strong swimmer if the wave beats against him?" I answered nothing, but gazed out of the window. And Radley shot another appeal a less lofty one, but it flew home.

Then it all fell to pieces like a house of cards. It's easy enough to be brave when you're attacking a cardboard castle it's when you're up against iron that your courage is wanted. It failed me. I've funked it. I'm going to run away." He could see that Norah Monogue's whole life was in the vigour with which she opposed him "No, no, no. To give it up now.
He shipped in a leaky boat with a crew composed of one Kaffir boy; the Kaffir funked the surf; they had an upset and Eaton-Hill waked up the picket by the fervor of his swearing at the half-drowned Kaffir." "Poor Eaton-Hill! Both his morals and his clothes must have suffered," Carew suggested. "Weldon, take warning.
Pulteney's always horribly funked at Court; frightened out of his life when he dines with any royalties; makes an awful figure too in a public ceremony; can't walk backward for any money, and at his first levee tumbled down right in the Queen's face. Now at the Castle one night he just happened to come down a corridor as Beauty was smoking.
You know what it was like when you used to sit looking and looking at Mother's "tree of Heaven." It's odd, Ronny, to have gone all your life trying to get reality, trying to get new beauty, trying to get utter satisfaction; to have funked coming out here because you thought it was all obscene ugliness and waste and frustration, and then to come out, and to find what you wanted.

Some of the miners glanced up at Talbot, wondering silently if he "funked it," but there was something in that attitude and that iron countenance that reassured them and stirred a dull admiration in their hearts. Talbot ceased to walk up and down. He planted himself directly in front of the wide open door and waited there.
