In behalf of the Warren, and the Lexington, we believe no discreet man was ever heard to utter one syllable, except as wholesome crafts. But the Poughkeepsie was a very different sort of vessel from any of the "ten sloops." She was every way a good ship, and, as Jack expressed it, was "a good goer."
"And how would you contrive to make a regular kicker and biter appear so tame and gentle, that any respectable fat old gentleman of sixty, who wanted an easy goer, would be glad to purchase him for fifty pounds?"
The snow fell, the fire burned, the clock ticked. He spoke again. "It's before an eye inside that you'll be a wanderer and a goer about yet within and without, my laddie, within and without! Do not forget, though, to hold the old place together that so many Jardines have been born in, and to care for the tenant bodies and the old folk and there's your brother and sister."
They walked out together, and for some distance in silence. "Lige," said the elder gentleman, striking his stick on the stones, "if there ever was a straight goer, that's you. You've always dealt squarely with me, and now I'm going to ask you a plain question. Are you North or South?" "I'm North, I reckon," answered the Captain, bluntly. The Colonel bowed his head.
Said the Bey, 'It is a wonder you escaped a wetting. Said the Cogia, 'I was mounted on a horse that was a great goer, he flew away with me so fast that I escaped the rain. The Bey believed every word that he said.
Between waves of his hand as he drove off mosquitos, Nat whispered, "Say, doc, you don't feel like imagining you're a bacheldore again, and coming out for a Time tonight, do you?" "As how?" "You know this new dressmaker, Mrs. Swiftwaite? swell dame with blondine hair? Well, she's a pretty good goer.
"And let me tell you this, from a man who knows what he is talking about, that if you think to escape them by neglecting them, you are going the devil's way to work. If you wish them to let you alone, speak them fair, drop easily to your knee, be a hand-kisser, a cushion-disposer, a goer on your toes. They will think you a lover and shrug you away.
"I rid him," said he. "He's a goer all right, but he ain't mean." "I don't know whether he would be bad or not with a lady," Banion still argued. "These Spanish horses are always wild. They never do get over it. You've got to be a rider." "You think I'm not a rider? I'll ride him now to show you! I'm not afraid of horses." "That's right," broke in Sam Woodhull.
I thought you were a straight-laced chapel goer. What have you to do with saints and their days?" "I was told that one once, sir, and I can't help remembering it. You see the date is February 5th, and that's my eldest youngster's birthday." Sheriff swore. "I wish you'd drop that sort of sentimental bosh, Skipper; especially now.
"That's a fresh hoss you've got, I think, sir," he said. "Yes, I have ridden him two or three times with the harriers; but this is the first time I have had him out with fox-hounds." "He carried you very well in the run, sir." "You are quite right; he did. Very well." "Does he lay hold on you at all, Mr. Bacon?" "Not a bit." "Light in the mouth, a clever jumper, and a free goer." "All three."
