Now, sir, I was for France; and there was a French ship cruising here to pick me up; but she gave us the go-by in the fog as I wish from the heart that ye had done yoursel'! And the best that I can say is this: If ye can set me ashore where I was going, I have that upon me will reward you highly for your trouble." "In France?" says the captain. "No, sir; that I cannot do.
Molesworth rubbed his eyes with a start. Had the stream been a Naiad she could not have given him the go-by more coquettishly. He rubbed his eyes, and then with a short gasp of wonder almost of terror involuntarily looked around for Sir John. Here before him was a shore, with a church beside it, and at the far end a whitewashed cottage surely the very shore, church, cottage, of Sir John's dream!
"An assembly at Hirslanden and Riespach have with one accord resolved on the cross, that they fervently, earnestly, and with the highest zeal, thank our lords of Zurich for their pious, friendly notice, and for telling them so truly the misery, troubles and dangers of the alliance with the king, brought about and subscribed to by the twelve cantons, and therefore, earnestly beseech our lords aforesaid to remain firm in their honest purpose and intention, and give the go-by to all princes and lords; then will they also pledge to them their souls, honor, lives and property without any reserve, since they would have nothing at all to do with this alliance, as far as lies in their power."
"Perhaps we had better give politics the go-by and join the ladies," said his lordship, rising and moving towards the parlor. Pompey brought in the tea-urn, cups and saucers, sugar and cream. "Shall I pass you a cup, Miss Newville?" Lord Upperton asked. "Thank you, my lord, but I do not drink tea." "Ha, ha! Miss Newville, so you have joined the other conspirators to outwit Lord North!"
We say nothing about the Stamp Act: give all like topics the go-by, and just enjoy ourselves socially. You will find Mrs. Newville a delightful lady, and I know you will be charmed by Miss Ruth, a lovely girl, with gracious ways and a character all her own. I cannot describe her. Only intimate friends can know her goodness. Few young ladies in Boston are more accomplished.
The old woman hadn't oughter let you nor Cress either. Hark to me, Mr. Ford! I reckon to stand between you and both the Davises till the cows come home only mind YOU give him the go-by when he happens to meander along towards you."
"Leggo gave me a sort of description of the place on our way here. He tells me that this cave and the next are a favourite haunt of the seals when they visit the Islands. In fact, he used to hunt them here with his father. But of late years, for some reason, they have given the Islands the go-by."
Rupert Brooke made them revive as soon as one began to know him, or in other words made one want to read back into him each of his promoting causes without exception, to trace to some source in the ambient air almost any one, at a venture, of his aspects; so precious a loose and careless bundle of happy references did that inveterate trick of giving the go-by to over-emphasis which he shared with his general kind fail to prevent your feeling sure of his having about him.
Ay, you start, but you cannot dance in a net before me, as I said before; and so the king runs the frowning humour on you, and the Court vapours you the go-by; and the Prince scowls at you from under his cap; and the favourite serves you out the puckered brow and the cold shoulder; and the favourite's favourite "
As these thoughts, one by one, came crowding upon him, he felt that he could not bear so great a responsibility. Then he reflected that life is made up of responsibilities, and that it was his duty to meet them manfully. If he cringed before, or shrank from them, and gave them the go-by, he would be a coward, and never would accomplish anything.
