Narkom," blurted out his impulsive Grace as the superintendent and Cleek came in. "If any of your lot want me they won't have to hunt me up and they won't find me funking it, no matter how black it looks for me. I didn't kill her, I didn't even get to see her; and anybody that says I did, lies that's all!"
The decent thing is to go to Gilbert and tell him everything ... or ... or I could write it. I could write a long letter to him and get Magnolia to give it to him.... Perhaps that 'ud be better than telling him. It'll be difficult to get a chance to say anything to him with Roger and Ninian about...." He broke off his thoughts and spoke out loud. "You're funking it," he said.
Here's Ilchester tells me... and Ilchester speaks of him under his breath now as if he were sitting in a pew funking the parson. Confound the fellow! I say he's guilty of treason. Pooh! who cares! He cuts out the dandies of his day, does he? He's past sixty, if he's a month. It's all damned harlequinade. Let him twirl off one columbine or another, or a dozen, and then the last of him!
The fine weather still held, bright sunshine with a nip in the air and the road underfoot firm with frost, and I strode along in a wonderfully confident mood, all things considered. For to tell the truth, I had been funking this visit. Instinctively I did not trust myself with Miss Jean Rendall.
"Don't encourage him, Robert. He's got to face it." "Yes, Jerrold, you'd better go and get it over. You can't go on funking it for ever." Jerrold went. But he went alone, he wouldn't let Anne go with him. He said he didn't want her to be mixed up with it. "He means," said Eliot, "that he doesn't want to think of Yearp every time he sees Anne." ix
Bassett was off his horse in a moment and caught him. He eased him onto a boulder, and he sat there, his shoulders sagging and his whole body twitching. "Been drinking my head off," he said at last. "If I had a drink now I'd straighten out." He tried to sit up. "That's what's the matter with me. I'm funking, of course, but that's not all. I'd give my soul for some whisky."
When he did speak, Adam at first thought that his friend was wavering in his intention, or "funking" the responsibility. However, his respect for Sir Nathaniel was so great that he would not act, or even come to a conclusion on a vital point, without his sanction.
And the cruelest.... Let's get it right, John. I can forgive your funking. If your nerves are jumpy they're jumpy. I daresay I shall be jumpy if the Germans come into Ghent before I'm out of it. I can forgive everything you've done to me. I can forgive your lying. I see there's nothing left for you but to lie.... But I can't forgive your not caring for the wounded.
Jacob," continued Tom, to me apart, "do look how the old gentleman is funking Mary, and casting sheeps' eyes at her through the smoke." "He appears as if he were inclined to board her in the smoke," replied I. "Yes, and she to make no fight of it, but surrender immediately," said Tom.
He was hit four or five times before Vlaakfontein, and has had one scratch since." "What is the trouble? Is he foolhardy?" "Foolhardy in war, Miss Dent?" "Yes, just that. There is no sense in taking needless risks." "But it is mighty hard to draw the line between avoiding needless risks and funking necessary ones," he answered. "But Carew isn't reckless.
