I reckon he needs it right bad around now. Nawthin' ain't a gwine tuh do pore George any lastin' good till he pulls up stakes an' gits outen this low kentry. If he was only on a farm up on higher land I reckon the shakes'd give the critter the go-by. But George, he cain't never raise the money he'd have tuh put up, tuh rent a farm an' buy the stock foh it."
Thad was eagerly waiting for him, and the other could see that he was brimming over with excitement. "Say, if it wasn't for wanting to meet up with George so bad I'd be for dropping down river five miles, and giving this beastly old place the go-by," he said, as Maurice came aboard. "Why, what on earth is the matter?" asked the other, dismayed. "Then you didn't hear anything about it, eh?
A shade of annoyance and displeasure for a moment was upon his face; but the gate opening from the meadow upon the high road had hardly swung back upon its hinges after letting them out when he recovered the calm sweetness of demeanour that was habitual with him, and seemed as well as his little granddaughter to have given care the go-by for the time.
"The wind is heading us," muttered the man at the wheel; "she's fallen off two points." "Hands about ship," cried Captain Fleetwood. "We'll show the poor fellows we do not intend to give them the go-by. Helm's a-lee! Tacks and sheets! Main-topsail haul. Of all, haul." And round came the brig, with her head to the eastward, or towards the island of Milo.
I will take you to a ball, to dozens of them, for you have had no real young-girl life. And now, as soon as you can endure the fatigue, we will go to the city to operas and theatres. I was thinking, that first night you were hurt, what a little hermit you had been, and that we would give the proprieties the go-by for once."
"Judge Briscoe, we are contemplating 'a piece of the blackest treachery and chicanery. We are going to give Mr. Halloway the the go-by!" The embarrassment fell away, and everybody began to talk at once. "Hold on a minute," said the judge; "let's get at it straight. What do you want with me?" "I'll tell you," volunteered Keating. "You see, the boys are getting in line again for this convention.
"I ain't feared o' no cutes and I ain't feared of no Injun," solemnly answered Elmer, "jist so dem rattlers gives me de go-by. Dat's all I ast." Buck's big wagon had arrived and was backed up to the car and now, by the light of a lantern hanging above the door, the work of loading began. With their improved gas bag the boys had figured on a record flight without renewing the gas supply.
Meanwhile, not entirely to give the go-by to my original plan, and far more to avoid a mark'd hiatus in it, than to entirely fulfil it, I end my books with thoughts, or radiations from thoughts, on death, immortality, and a free entrance into the spiritual world.
"'Suppose the General would order you to black his boots; or, said the Colonel, thinking that a little too strongly put; 'suppose that you were second in command of a battery lying near a peaceful and loyal town, and your superior, drunk or otherwise, would order you to shell it, would you obey the order, and question it after having murdered half the women and children of the place? To which questions, however, the Court gave the go-by, remarking simply, that they did not suppose that the Colonel had any criminal intentions in disobeying the order.
One was getting tired of Jeffrey, and prepared to give him the go-by, when Carlyle creates him afresh, and, for the first time, we see the bright little man bewitching us by what he is, disappointing us by what he is not.
