Brunt's worn eyes began already to gleam and sparkle. "Yis, I recolleck very well, Mrs. Jellison. She wor Mercy Moss, an' a goodish deal of trouble you'd use to get me into wi' Mercy Moss, all along o' your tricks." Mrs. Jellison, still with folded arms, began to rock herself gently up and down as though to stimulate memory.
We were that tired we didn't care to talk much, so we made up the fire last thing and rolled ourselves in our blankets; I didn't wake till the sun had been up an hour or more. I woke first; Jim was fast asleep, but dad had been up a goodish while and got things ready for breakfast.
The white rock, visible enough above the brush, was still some eighth of a mile farther down the spit, and it took me a goodish while to get up with it, crawling, often on all-fours, among the scrub. Night had almost come when I laid my hand on its rough sides.
I want to work the widow off on him. She has a goodish deal of money and is a kind of human dynamo. The best thing in the world for Adrian." Adrian confounded the fellow. I continued "Prepare then for the Dynamic Widow. Love to Barbara, the fairy grasshopper " "Who's that?" "My daughter, Susan Freeth.
There never were any braver troops than those in the world, but at first they didn't have the automatic discipline they needed. That'll be the first problem in training the new American armies, too. It's a highly practical matter. And so, in the rest billets, they drill the men a goodish bit.

Can you tell, Mr. Slick? "'Why, sais I, 'he don't know English yet, that's all. He waited for them beautiful French oaths that Goodish used. Stop the fust Frenchman you meet and give him a shillin' to teach you to swear, and he'll go like a lamb. "I see'd what was the matter of the hoss by his action as soon as we started; but I warn't agoin' for to let on to him about it.
I am no judge of sculpture, and will not therefore pronounce an opinion, but many who considered themselves to be judges declared that it was a "goodish head and shoulders" and nothing more.
He'd got it stowed away for'ard somewheres, and by the time I found it she was driftin' putty bad. I found a good bottom for her and made things fast before I left. I reckon she'll hold." "Won't he be down himself to look after her?" "Mebbe not. It's a goodish step, from his place, down and back. He knows I keep an eye out for her. "Why doesn't he anchor up there," said the artist, "near by?"
"And it is a goodish distance, so if you would rather not come, pray do not trouble." "No, Peregrine." "Heavens, girl!" I cried. "Cannot you say more than 'yes and no, Peregrine'?" "Aye, I could!" she nodded. "I could say you are a fool and a sight too cocksure and, oh, a lot more but I won't!" with which she rose and left me.
