"I don't mind the five thou., but to think the fellow should have gammoned the pair of us like that ignominious, I call it!" "How do you know it's the Seer?" I asked. "Look at the green ink," he answered. "Besides, I recollect the very shape of the last flourish. I flourished a bit like that in the excitement of the moment, which I don't always do with my regular signature."
"At the both committee room they're givin' out tickets with the men's names on, an' whoever likes can get them an' wear 'em in their hats. Me an' Jack Bray went to this Johnny Walker's rooms and gammoned we was for him, an' got a dozen tickets, an' when we got outside tore 'em to smithereens; that's what we'll do all the time."
Here is a letter, dictated by one Peter, a native trader at Santa Anna, and addressed to his employer. Harry, the schooner captain, started to write the letter, but was stopped by Peter at the end of the second sentence. Thereafter the letter runs in Peter's own words, for Peter was afraid that Harry gammoned too much, and he wanted the straight story of his needs to go to headquarters.
Of course, losing the race made a difference of a note to Toby; so he caught the horse's shoulder with his spur, and turned him upside down, going at that bat. Then, to keep himself out of a row, he gammoned dead till we poured a pint of beer down his throat; and he lay groaning for two solid hours, winking now and then at Nelson and me. But that'll just tell you the difference.
"Be silent, Rodney, and let the captain speak." Rodd gave himself a snatch and clenched his fists. "Well, sir, to make a long story short, the Count gammoned you into keeping company with him, and brought you here here, of all places in the world here, to Saint Helena," and he thumped the chart just where the island was marked.
There's no playing when fellows are getting up every minute to gape after doctors' coaches, and leaving the door open hang it, I've lost the game by it gammoned twice already. 'Tis very pleasant. I only wish when gentlemen interrupt play, they'd be good enough to pay the bets. It was not much, about five shillings altogether, and little Puddock had not often a run of luck.
The little that he had is lost." "Oh, don't you be gammoned," was the reply. "What he has lost wont hurt him. He's got enough now to buy this street, out and out. He's the greediest fellow for money this world ever saw." "I am puzzled, Thompson," said I. "Yes, perhaps you are, and you'll be more puzzled yet when you know all. Why, what is all this about poor Smith?
He could be gammoned to almost any extent, so much so that after a term or two his persecutors had run through all the tricks they knew, and the unhappy youth was let alone for sheer want of an idea.
When you have seen that excellent man and heard what he has to say to you well, then if you persist in claiming Celeste's hand, we might perhaps carry out our plans. Until then we shall take no steps in the matter." "But, my poor Thuillier," said Brigitte, "you have let yourself be gammoned by a rascal; that man belongs to the Godollo set."
I wish I could have got at him. 'I see the swell chap first him as made out he was the owner, and gammoned all the Adelaide gentlemen so neat. There was a half-caste chap with him as followed him about everywhere; then there was another man as didn't talk much, but seemed, by letting down sliprails and what not, to be in it.
