"His father went on kalsomining and took never a look at him more. 'The time has largely passed here, says he, 'for men that haven't learned to do something, but you might take some of the burnt umber there and work it well into a big gob of that putty till it's brown enough to match the woodwork.
"How's he coming on?" asked the young man, jogging at her side, delighting in her returning life. "Father thinks he's going to be a great horse," laughed the girl. "But he won't admit it to me, of course." "So he is, plea Gob," said Jim. Boy looked at him severely. Then she tapped him with her crop. "He may," she said. "You mayn't. And you mustn't mimic dad." He touched his forehead.
He was one of the pioneers of the flying-men in this country. He used to fly at country fairs in an old ramshackle bus of the Wright model a thing of sticks and canvas and wires precariously hung together. But he flew it. And he rehabilitated his finances. When war was declared he enlisted as a gob and was sent on sea duty.
Gazing anxiously over the fence, we heard a feeble chirp from a large gob of mud in the alley. It was our rooster! The Shanghai had rashly ventured into supposed neutral ground in that alley and had crowed once too often. The little game cock had squeezed through the fence and come over to investigate the situation. They had fought there in the mud.
The engineer was not a gob, strictly speaking. He was an old English seaman, who had often sailed the Arctic in a whaler. Now he went below with the words: "I'll find the nearest land, right enough, me lad; but as to gittin' there, that's quite another matter."
"But otherwise okay." "Let's get out of here." Scotty put the runabout in gear and headed back toward Martins Creek. Rick sat down and picked up the cylinder. There was a gob of mud still on it. He wiped it off with his hand and examined the thing. The material was fiber glass set in resin, and it was designed so the rounded nose could be removed. He didn't remove it, however.
Just at this time a bright young gob, Tom Rainey, came forward with an ingenious scheme. The "sub" carried a sufficient length of steel cable to reach to the farther edge of the ice-floe.
The Professor shook his head; he was not rich, he said, and had already spent more money in the contest than he could afford. "Be gob, it's poor worruk this talkin' an' votin' for us that gets nothin' by it " the phrase stuck in his memory as illustrating the paltry baseness of the whole affair.
The triangular space between the walls and the back of the desk was empty. I don't know why that should have afforded me any relief, but it did. Then, before my eyes, not three feet away from them, a little gob of ashes dropped from the empty air into the tray.
I tell you, it's a dirty, sneakin', underhand way of gettin' me laughed at." "I ain't a humorous man myself, and there ain't no " began Mr. Gammon. "Shut up!" bellowed the Cap'n. "It was only last week, Hiram, that that old gob of cat-meat over there that calls himself a lawyer said I'd taken this job of selectman as a license to stick my nose into everybody's business in town.
