They all shouted: “Aha, he is funking, he is running away. Wisp of tow!” “You don’t know what a beast he is, Karamazov, killing is too good for him,” said the boy in the jacket, with flashing eyes. He seemed to be the eldest. “What’s wrong with him?” asked Alyosha, “is he a tell-tale or what?” The boys looked at one another as though derisively.
Telson thought the matter over and fancied it promised well. He liked the sound of the jellies and the tipsy-cake, and just at present he knew of no special reason for "funking" the doctor. As for the doctor's ladies, Telson had never seen them, so they did not weigh particularly with him. "Who else is going?" he asked. "Oh, I don't know yet," said Brown, rather grandly.
Fear possed him this sneaking, torturing, emasculating passion that he had never known hitherto was now always with him. He lay alone in the camp-bedstead sweating and funking. The events of the day made him seem safe, but he felt that he would not be really safe for ages and ages.
Discipline was stern; and rightly so. A green hand was allowed one show of funk; but that was all. However, there was very little funking so long as Britishers, Bluenoses, and Yankees could pick their crews from among the most adventurous of their own populations.
However, Scott," and the long, nervous fingers shut hard about the hand above them; "I am quite well aware that the intermediate stage of funking the side issue is bound to give us an occasional bad half-hour.

He's running away now. Say what you like, it's a sort of cowardice." "It's his only fault." "I know it is. But it's a pretty serious one, Anne. And he'll have to pay for it.
"If he wants the school, and will undertake to run it, why, I'll give him the building and the outfit." "But," said French, "isn't that rather funking it?" "Not a bit" said Brown emphatically. "I am not sent here to proselytize. My church is not in that business. We are doing business, but we are in the business of making good citizens.
I think we ought to have given Stenson a week time to communicate with America and send a mission to France." "We are like all theorists," Furley declared moodily, stopping to relight his pipe. "We create and destroy on palter with amazing facility. When it comes to practice, we are funks." "Are you funking this?" Julian asked bluntly. "How can any one help it?
In the next place the use of Modesty is to keep a man from writing an epic poem at all but, if he will have that impudence, why then he had better have the courage to plunge into the Castalian stream, like Virgil and Lucan, not crawl in funking and holding on by the Muse's apron-string. But excuse me quorsum haec tam putida tendunt?
"Oh, I'm not funking not a d d bit, I can assure you." Otway at once poured out a nip of brandy for himself, and clinked his glass against that of the clergyman. "Pon my soul, I couldn't make it out, and I apologise. But a man's nerves go all at once sometimes can't help himself, you know. Mine did once when I was in the nigger-catching business in the Solomon Islands.
