She did not care to go to foreign cities, but loved Milan, and lived in it free and happy as an earwig in a ripe apricot.

Beppo presented a pure smile upon a simple bow for acceptance.
It was evident that no Kingston man could stop it in time to throw either to first base or home ahead of a Charleston man; but since Kingston could not put the side out before a run was scored, the Charlestonians cheerfully consented to put themselves out; that is, the base-runner on second, making a furious dash for third, ran ker-plunk into the ball, which recorded itself on his funny-bone.
Fin Barr's bull, kicks herself to pieces!" "She did so, surely," affirmed the Cardiff stoker. "Surely she did so." "Tell the Colonel 'ow the engine jumped right off the metals," advised the guard. "Clane she did," went on Kildare jubilantly, "an' rattled Davis an' me inside the cab like pays in an iron pod. See the funny-bone I sthripped agin' the side av her!"
Bateman felt as though someone had given him a violent blow on the funny-bone and he was conscious that he turned red and then white. But before he could think of anything to say a native boy brought in a great bowl of soup and the whole party sat down to dinner. Arnold Jackson's remark seemed to have aroused in him a train of recollections, for he began to talk of his prison days.
They always try to get off as cheaply as they can; and the cheapest of all things they can give a literary man pardon the forlorn pleasantry! is the FUNNY-bone.

And he dragged Miss de Lacy through the doorway, bumping the others to get past; and she told me afterwards her funny-bone had got such a knock that she could hardly hold her soup spoon! It was quainter even than the frumps' dinner that Godmamma gave.
Turning to the steps of a chemist's shop to get a prescription made up for his Nataly's doctoring of her domestics, he was arrested by a rap on his elbow; and no one was near; and there could not be a doubt of the blow a sharp hard stroke, sparing the funny-bone, but ringing.
Lois laughed louder than before. "You a blueboy! Lord, how you make me laugh. Fancy the aristocrat being ordered about. Oh, my poor funny-bone!
