That was where they copped me. "But that, isn't the end of it. "The fight was only the first part of the adventure. The wonderful thing was what happened afterwards. In prison. "I didn't think I'd really like prison. That was another thing I funked. I'd heard such awful things about it, about the dirt, you know. And there wasn't any dirt in my cell, anyhow.
I am afraid there is something serious in Galashiels; Jeffrey is fairly funked about it, and has written letters to the authorities of Roxburghshire and Selkirkshire to caution us against making the precognitions public, which looks ill. Yet I think he would have made arrests when the soldiers were in the country.
I let him run such whopping risks. The horrible thing is thinking what I made him." "He was a liar and a coward, Charlotte; a swine." "I tell you he wasn't. Oh, why are we so beastly hard on each other? Everybody's got their breaking-point. I don't lie about the things he lied about; I don't funk the things he funked. But when my time comes I daresay I shall funk and lie."
This was granted, but the men stuck to their guns. At the eviction a man had funked, frightened out of his seven senses. The police declined all responsibility, but offered to guard the farm for a shilling per man per day.
"En suite, I gave the dear gelding his head because he took it, and he incontinently faced a post of the French army at the Porte d'Espagne. The sentry came to the charge and cried, On ne passe pas ici. The blood-horse went at him, the sentry funked, and then, as if satisfied with his demonstration, the blood-horse the bit always in his mouth made a demi-tour, and faced a post of douaniers.
There was young Watson, who funked at football and sneaked to a master about a midnight supper. He stole pocket-money, too, and was expelled. Then he caught a glimpse of another fellow with sly face and laughing eyes; the name had vanished, but he was the boy who put jalap in the music-master's coffee, and received a penny from five or six others who thus escaped a lesson.
"I should say not, sir; it was I who funked it for you." Mr. Carstyle was silent: his head had dropped forward and he looked like an old man. "It was just my cursed luck again!" he exclaimed suddenly in a loud voice. For a moment Vibart thought that he was wandering; but he raised his head and went on speaking in more natural tones. "I daresay I appeared ridiculous enough to you just now, eh?
What shocked Michael was his discovering, not that he funked it now, which was natural, almost permissible, but that he had funked it all the time. He could see now that, since the War began, he had been struggling to keep out of it. His mind had fought every suggestion that he should go in. It had run to cover, like a mad, frightened animal before the thoughts that hunted it down.
I said I would come, because Dicky said I daren't, and at the last moment I funked it. "Then that was Dolly all the time?" "Yes." "And she went, just to to " "To save my face. She's a brick," said Dilly. This, by the way, was the first occasion on which I realised the truth of Robin's dictum that Dilly and Dolly were girls of widely different character. "And didn't the others recognise her?" "No.
I should have jeered at myself ever afterwards: "So you funked it, you funked it, you funked the REAL THING!" On the contrary, I passionately longed to show all that "rabble" that I was by no means such a spiritless creature as I seemed to myself.
