He's your playmate for the day. I'm going away for a while, on business.

"Look again, Nan," urged her cousin. "This is no funning. If there's fire in this swamp." "Goodness, gracious!" snapped Nan. "What a fuss-budget you are to be sure, Tom. If there was a fire, this rain would smother it. Oh! Did it ever pelt one so before?" Fortunately the rain was warm, and she was not much discomforted by being wet.
"And his knife has got six cutters in it!" "I guess he was only funning," said Billy. "He didn't mean it." "That's what he said," she insisted. "Yes, my dear, but he didn't mean it. He was joking." "That's what he said!" Her accent was very positive, and she added as if conning it over, "His knife had six cutters."

Which of the two curves had been the one most probably taken by the Projectile? Barbican maintained it was the parabolic; M'Nicholl insisted that it was the hyperbolic. Their tempers were not improved by the severe cold, and both became rather excited in the dispute.
He had turned the deeply-engraved sard with his brown thumb and clenched his fist upon it, but as swiftly changed his mind, and took off the ring and handed it to her.

"Do tell me about the hole in Jimmy's leg," said Miss Rutherford. "He never mentioned it to me."
The old-country talk's fresh in her mouth, too, so it is; you 'd think you were coming out o' mass some spring morning at home and hearing all the girls whin they'd be chatting and funning at the boys. I do be thinking she's a smart little girl, annyway; look at her off to see the town so early and not back yet, bad manners to her!
