I fear that he will find Paris audiences vastly more critical than the good Orleanese. Did you hear him, citizen, declaiming those beautiful verses just now? He was murdering them, say I yes, murdering them the gaby!"
What a gaby!" he said, giving Ilinka a slight kick. "He can't take things in fun a bit. Well, get up, then." "You are an utter beast! That's what YOU are!" said Ilinka, turning miserably away and sobbing. "Oh, oh! Would it still kick and show temper, then?" cried Seriosha, seizing a dictionary and throwing it at the unfortunate boy's head.
He wrote bitterly to his mother about it, using the contemptuous nickname that the boys had invented for Mrs. Considine. "I think old Considine," he wrote, "must be thinking of turning me into a nursemaid. I'm always being told off to help Gaby in the garden or take her for drives in the pony-cart. Not much fun taking a woman shopping!" But Gabrielle was glad of it.
"You haven't told me your other name," she said. "You took advantage of me. I told you mine." "It ain't pretty! The kids call me Gaby. That's enough. Call me that." "How old are you?" "Nine comin' next August." "August? My birthday is in August; the twenty-first." "That's mine, too!" Blue Bonnet looked incredulous. "Really?" she said. "Aren't you mistaken? Certain it's the twenty-first?"
She explained her errand to the first person she met inside the gate, and was told to await the arrival of Mr Gaby, the manager, who was due in half an hour, the time, she afterwards learned, at which the lady clerks were expected. When Mr Gaby came, she found him to be a nervous, sandy-haired man, who blushed like any school-girl when he addressed Mavis.
We think it demonstrable that chaff is only a variety of chafe, from Fr. écauffer, retaining the broader sound of the a from the older form chaufe. So gaby, which Mr. "Perhaps," says Mr. This is one of the instances in which he is lured from the plain path by the Nixy Onomatopoeia.
An obscure deliberation was exposed in the depiction of their drooping petals. The pot tottered very crookedly on a sort of table, as near as I could see. All around ran a funereal scroll. I read: "My farewell to my beloved wife, Gaby." A fierce hand, totally distinct from the former, wrote in proud letters above: "Punished for desertion. Six years of prison military degradation."
Whereof forsooth, so as that now as that all o'the fat's in the fire, why I must a be set to catch the colt if I can. Why ay, to be sure! Whereby if so be as the Gaby goose may now go barefoot! And a whose fault is that? No! A wouldn't a be akin to a good estate; not he! But harkee me chit!
"Sylvia is a gaby," remarked Aunt Barbara. "I'm rather glad you think so." "Oh, get her to come," said she. "I'm sure your mother will do as you tell her. I'll be here too, if you like, if that will do any good. By the way, I see your Hermann's piano recital comes off to-morrow." "I know. My mother wants to go to that, and I think I shall take her.
When she sets her heart on a thing, I can't refuse her. Besides, I like the fellow; he's a first-rate painter, you know; and where Art is concerned I'm a perfect gaby. There are a great many capital points about Lehsen. £12,000. I'll tell you what it is, Leonhard, just out of mere goodheartedness, I shall let this nice young fellow have my daughter."
