First of all there was the man of the house, Jonathan Barnes, a tall, slouching, flash-looking native; he'd been a little in the horse-racing line, a little in the prize-fighting line enough to have his nose broken, and was fond of talking about 'pugs' as he'd known intimate a little in the farming and carrying line, a little in every line that meant a good deal of gassing, drinking, and idling, and mighty little hard work.
The polecat had certainly saved her young, or thought she had, although I cannot swear that the female genet had really meant them harm; but she did not look as if she had saved much else. However, she held the field of battle, and the foe had fled, and that is supposed to be the sign of victory; but that had been done by her "gassing" methods, so to speak, not by fighting alone.
"Oh, I hope she won't ask me. What shall I do if she does?" "Look out, here she comes! Don't say a word. Bertha's awfully ashamed of it," said Inez, and Laura had just time to give a hasty promise. "Hullo, you two, what are you gassing about?" cried Bertha, and dealt out a couple of her rough and friendly punches. "I say, who's on for a race up the garden?"
I thought I'd rather be Gallagher than Red Red had to serve time once in a while. Soon as he got out I went down to Gallagher's saloon, and there was Red leaning over the bar. 'Here's a smart kid! he says, 'He and me were room-mates over in Hickory Street. He got to gassing me, and telling me I'd better come along with him, when Gallagher came in. 'What is it ye'd like to be, my son? says he.
'Oh, that's all right, said Gethryn. 'Wilson. 'Yes? 'You mustn't listen. Try and think you're a piece of furniture. See? And if you do happen to overhear anything, you needn't go gassing about it. Follow? 'All right, said Wilson, and Gethryn told his tale. 'Jove, he said, as he finished, 'that's a relief. It's something to have got that off my chest. I do bar keeping a secret.
When old Wickamote or some one had landed him, or all of us, with some dashed punishment, and we were gassing about it, used to screw up his nut in the same way and say, 'Yes, but I see what he means. And some one would say, 'Well, what does he mean, you ass? and he'd start gassing some rot till some one said, 'Good lord, fancy sticking up for a master! And old Puzzlehead would say, 'You sickening fool, I'm not sticking up for him.
My word, I would give something to smash them to smithereens. I have taken on a bet with every man in Buller's whom I found offering long odds. I stand to win quite a lot. And I shall win it." "God's truth," said Mansell, "do they think there's no guts left in the House at all? They may go gassing about the number of Colts' badges they have got, but they are not used to our way of playing.
"She couldn't," grinned Griffin. "That's the point. She's so taken up with her pose as suffering martyr that she overlooks a trifle like good work. Heavens, there's the gong! I've kept you here gassing when I know you're crazy to get to work. Come along in, and I'll help you set up your stand before the model poses again."
They were mounting their horses when the little man spoke, and Sanderson grinned coldly at him. "You're a whole lot longer on talk than I like any of my friends to be," he said. "Then I'll cut out gassing promiscuous," grinned the latter. Sanderson was troubled over the situation. To successfully keep Dale from attacking his title to the ranch he must sign the affidavit and return it to the court.
As for gassing about love when there's no comfort to keep it alive, that's about as foundationless as we, always being supposed to think men our superiors, even the ones a blind idiot could see are inferior." "Are you going to marry him?" "I want to, but what on earth am I to do with 'Dora' Eweword?" "Break his heart to keep Ernest's together?" "Break his heart! It's the style to break, isn't it?
