"Bless your soul! d'ye think I'm to be gammoned by such nonsense. Not I. I'm not quite such a greenhorn as Shotbolt, Jack, whatever you may think." "For mercy's sake go up stairs," implored Sheppard. "I have not told you half. There's a man dying Captain Darrell. Take me with you. Place a pistol at my ear, and shoot me, if I've told you false."
Thompson, in conjunction with a pal that occasionally worked with him, gammoned a countryman out of a good round sum of money, under pretence of getting him a situation the regular old dodge and was afterwards in the "Hue and Cry" for a horse a horse that he stole down in Hertfordshire.
"Look at that!" cried the portress, in a triumphant manner; "gammoned the citizen! know her name she is called D'Orbigny; my means were not bad, Mr. Rudolph? But what is the matter? You are quite pensive!" "This lady has been here before?" asked Rudolph.
'Yes, I des-say, I should ha' managed to pick up a respectable livin', replied Sam applying himself to the cold beef, with considerable vigour. 'I'm wery sorry, Sammy, said the elder Mr. Weller, shaking up the ale, by describing small circles with the pot, preparatory to drinking. 'I'm wery sorry, Sammy, to hear from your lips, as you let yourself be gammoned by that 'ere mulberry man.
Is it nothing to hold out your arms and be embraced by Judas? Is it nothing to be loyal and be gammoned for your innocence? Is it nothing to be juggled with, to be gulled, cheated, and decoyed? Is it nothing to grasp a hawser and find it a rope of sand? To pursue the real and watch it turn into delusion? Nothing to see the promise vanish in the hope?
But, between ourselves, I don't believe he knows of any island at all such as he talked about to the men, till he'd gammoned them or bullied them over. Hah!" he continued, tasting his cookery; "wants a dash more pepper and a twist of salt, and then that stuff's strong enough to do the skipper and Mr Denning more good than all the doctor's stuff. Young Walters, too; he's very bad, isn't he?"
They're lying there quiet now amongst the stones." "Oh, won't I give it you for this, old Big!" cried Bob. "There are no fish there at all. You gammoned me to make me come in and get my legs wet like yours are. Never mind, I'll serve you out." "Why, there are some fish," cried Bigley indignantly. "Don't you believe him, Sep," said Bob. "It's all nonsense."
A commission was once given Cellini to make a magnificent crucifix for a gift from the Pope to Emperor Charles V., but, as he expresses it, "I was hindered from finishing it by certain beasts who had the vantage of the Pope's ear," but when these evil whisperers had so "gammoned the Pope," that he was dissuaded from the crucifix, the Pope ordered Cellini to make a magnificent Breviary instead, so that the "job" still remained in his hands.
That's a new chum from England that's come up with 'em. I hardly knew him at first. His own mother wouldn't, I believe. He'd altered himself that wonderful as I could hardly even now think it was Starlight; and yet he wasn't a bit like the young Englishman he gammoned to be last year, or the Hon. Frank Haughton either. He had an eyeglass this time, and was a swell from top to toe.
One evening, while waiting the slow movements of an opponent at chess, the following remarks in slightly raised tones were audible above the rest: "Do you really think me pretty? Oh flattering man! Deuce, ace Treble, double, and rub That's a good hand Check It's your play You've gammoned me Ay, ay, sir Parbleu!
