The enemy has mobilized dreadful engines of war against us. Let us retort in kind. He has tanks in the field let us retort with tankards. They tell me there is a warship in the offing, to shell us into submission. Very well: if he has gobs, let us retort with goblets. If he has deacons, let us parry him with decanters. Very well: then let us BE drunk.
"Money in great gobs like that ain't much use to me," he demurred. "Once I blew into Lund, over here, with twenty-five thousand dollars in my pocket that I got outa silver claims. All I ever saved outa that chunk was two pairs of socks. No need of you makin' plans on my being a millionaire. It ain't in me.
When George could hold the flask, he pushed the investment out of the cylinder and chipped at it with a screwdriver. A hip appeared. "The Flying Lady," Oliver said. "Damn!" George said, chipping and prying. Gobs of oatmeal colored investment fell away. "Not bad!" George held up the Lady and the heart on their bronze tree. "We cut them off and polish. . ."
I wanted money in great big gobs, so I could throw it around with both hands and enjoy myself. I used to think a good deal about myself in those days, but five years in the desert and riding the range changes one.
Of course this all called for another burst of jazz, after which came the work of packing away the parts of the airplane, in which task the gobs showed an enthusiasm which told better than shouts what they thought of the young aviators. After the stars and stripes had been planted on a high ice-pinnacle, a rather solemn supper was eaten in the lee of a giant ice-cake.
"She was your sweetheart." His gruff voice was oddly gentle. Hilary brushed a weary hand over his forehead. The Earth, the universe itself, were suddenly dead, meaningless gobs of matter. "Yes," he said tonelessly. "Five years ago she promised to wait for my return. She kept her word. I found her again only to lose her." Grim said quietly: "I too once loved a girl.
"It must be chewed first though. Here, Barry, take two or three pieces." "But I don't care for gum," says Barry. "Really!" "If you don't wish to spend the night here, chew and chew fast," says Ann. So he chewed. We all chewed. And with the three fresh gobs Ann did a first aid plumbin' job that didn't look so worse. She got the funnel so it would stick on the pipe.
They would rather play gobs or shuttlecock or hopscotch than read about the 'Forty Thieves. They don't mind being kept a whole year in one class but I oh, I feel so mad at getting on so slow. I could easily learn the standard work in three months. I want to know everything so that I can grow up to be a teacher at our school." "And does your teacher know everything?" "Oh yes!
Anyway, he was a grand fighter, and done his bit all the time and kep' the Huns from passin'." 'And I wanta tell you that we gotta hand it to these French, because they may be little guys, but they carry the longest bayonets I ever see in any man's army. "'Amen, sez all the doughboys and the gobs, except one that yells, 'Alleluia! He musta been from the South or somewheres.
This attracted the attention of the others. "What do you see, Monty?" they shouted. "See?" answered he. "Just lots and gobs. I see old Joe Johnston over there, with Pat Cleburne, and Hood and Bragg, and Joe Wheeler. They're all together, and pulling off their coats, and rolling up their sleeves, and shaking their fists at the 200th Ind., and daring it to come on." "Tell 'em not to sweat.
