'Ain't you afraid you'll get into trouble? That fellow in there is Colonel Manysnifters. You've all heard of him haven't yer? Why, he is the biggest man in the House a great swell money to throw at the birds; and he's been a throwin' it, hey? said he of the voice, with a chuckle; 'but he ain't no greenhorn, I can tell yer! The old sport can make it powerful warm for us when he gets out of here!
I looked at the grand and glorious fellow, but saw no one to be saved. The greenhorn had gone down. Shooting himself perpendicularly from the water, Queequeg, now took an instant's glance around him, and seeming to see just how matters were, dived down and disappeared. A few minutes more, and he rose again, one arm still striking out, and with the other dragging a lifeless form.
Bragg soon saw he had a greenhorn to deal with, and treated Puff accordingly. If a 'perfect servant' is only to begot out of the establishments of the great, Mr. Bragg might be looked upon as a paragon of perfection, and now combined in his own person all the bad practices of all the places he had been in. Having 'accepted Mr.
"I will bring no one into trouble on my account," said Lord Glenvarloch. "I will leave Whitefriars to-morrow. Nay, by Heaven, I will leave it this day." "You will have more wit in your anger, I trust," said Duke Hildebrod; "listen first to what I have to say to you, and, if honest Jack Hildebrod puts you not in the way of nicking them all, may he never cast doublets, or dull a greenhorn again!
"Tra la la la!" sings Redjacket, undismayed. And he takes a couple of dance-steps on his log. "He's no greenhorn, anyhow," the crowd agree. And some of them glance at Olof to see how he takes their praise of his rival. But Olof does not seem to heed; he is watching the water with a certain impatience no more. Just then Redjacket's log strikes a sunken rock, and is thrust backward.
The supplies are entirely under my care. I can teach somebody else over there at the bombed hospital in a short time how to handle the things. Meanwhile, the matron or somebody else can do my work here. It would not do to send a greenhorn to such a busy hospital as this must be to which you are taking me." "Busy! You said it!" observed the driver.
"I thank you for those kind words," grinned Mitchell; "also, for the friendly explanation with which you cover up some bad luck and more greenhorn's incompetence." "No greenhorn could be so thumbhandsided as all that," rejoined Pete earnestly. "Your irrigation ditches break and wash out; cattle get into your crops whenever you go to town; but your fences never break when you're round the ranch.
"When I entered Yale I was an absolute greenhorn, but the greenhorn had a chance then, for he was able to play in actual scrimmage every day; now the squads are so big that opportunities for playing the game for long daily periods are entirely wanting.
Can't you see, she says she has spots before her eyes. That's stomach. And the lameness in the side is kidneys. Mark it 'Three pass to Seven. There's a combination form for that." "What branch of the work is this?" asked Hal, as she lifted her eyes to his again. "Symptom correspondence. This is the sorting-room." "Please explain. I'm a perfect greenhorn, you know."
This arrangement was speedily completed, and I found myself suddenly transformed into a rustic looking individual, who, in appearance, certainly deserved the title of a perfect "greenhorn." All parties being satisfied, I and my fair companion departed. I and my fair friend then took lodgings for the night at a neighboring hotel. That opinion I hold to be erroneous.
