The dinner passed off tolerably well; some of the lower order of the Irish settlers were pretty far gone, but they committed no outrage upon our feelings by either swearing or bad language, a few harmless jokes alone circulating among them. Some one was funning Old Wittals for having eaten seven large cabbages at Mr. T's bee, a few days previous.
Roxy had for so many days nourished and fondled and petted her notion that Tom would be glad to see his old nurse, and would make her proud and happy to the marrow with a cordial word or two, that it took two rebuffs to convince her that he was not funning, and that her beautiful dream was a fond and foolish variety, a shabby and pitiful mistake.
The young ones have four broad longitudinal stripes down the back, which disappear as they grow up. The emu is easily domesticated, and on many cattle and sheep stations tame specimens are funning about the paddocks. To my mind they are an intolerable nuisance, always doing some mischief either frightening the horses, or stealing things from the workmen.
Likewise that she was being courted by a Pewterer in Panyer Alley, who had parted a bright sixpence with her she showed me her token, drawn from her modest bodice, and who had passed his word to Wed, if he had to take to the Road for the price of the Ring but that was only his funning, she said, or if she were forced even to run away from her Mistress, and make a Fleet Match of it.
Hatty made her a low courtesy, and danced away, humming, "Cease your funning," just as we heard the sound of horses' feet on the drive outside. There were all sorts of guesses as to who was coming, and none of them the right one, for when the door opened at last, in walked Angus Drummond and Mr Keith. "Well, you did not expect us, I suppose?" said Angus.
"Bella, dear! Don't say such things!" admonished her mother in a grieved tone. Isabella flew to her side and patted her cheek and kissed her brow. "There, there, mother! Don't you know I'm just funning? Warren is the best man in the world, even if he hasn't got bee-youtiful, caressing brown eyes, and I love him awfully, and we're going to be married and live happily forever after.
Moreover, the scientific side of it struck me then, and I saw how properly it was classed in a certain library under the head 'Science of Forestry." "Cease your funning," said Lothair, "and lend, with us, an attentive ear to the worthy Serapion Brother who, as I perceive, has just pulled a manuscript out of his pocket." "This time," said Theodore, "I have trespassed upon another's ground.
His ears were painted bright red the red ear is the inevitable badge of the French clown and he had as a foil for his funning a comic countryman known on the program as Auguste, which is the customary name of all comic countrymen in France; and, though I knew only at second hand of his sketch-making abilities, I am willing to concede that he was the drollest master of pantomime I ever saw.
"Come, none of your funning with me, I've had enough of your nonsense: give me my pewter, or I'll have that horse from under you; for though it has got the hair rubbed off its near knee, it will do werry well to carry me with the Surrey occasionally." "You old fool," said Thompson, "you forget where you are; if I could pay you your little bill, do you suppose I would be here?
"I have wanted to hear Ruth laugh. And we all need to laugh. Why, we are becoming a trio of old fogies!" "Speak for yourself, Master Tom," pouted his sister. "I do. And for you. And certainly Ruth is about as cheerful as a funeral mute. What we all need is some fun." "Oh, Tom, I don't feel at all like 'funning," sighed Ruth.
