"That would be like funking it altogether." "He'll soon find his mistake out, never fear," said another. "He won't listen to us, but he can't help believing his own eyes." "Yes, it can't go on for long," said Tipper. "Riddell's bound to show that he's not up to his work sooner or later, and I won't interfere to prevent it."

They threatened Barney scores of times with their sticks, but he came on, funking awfully, but still doing whatever Tom told him.
"An an amputation?" "No; it's a bigger affair than that." "I think I think they must be expecting me at home." "There's no sense in funking. If you don't go to-day, you must to-morrow.
