Ahoy there, clipper ship!" another wag shouted. "Wot's yer port?" We took no notice of the joking, but acted, after the manner of greenhorns, as though the Coal Tar Maggie required our undivided attention. I rounded her well to windward of the Ghost, and Nicholas ran for'ard to drop the anchor.
The men did assume that he and his party had departed and they commenced talking, and our hero was at hand to overhear them talk. Girard was the first speaker. "Great Scott!" he ejaculated, "who was looking for this? We are boys greenhorns compared to that fellow and a tale is told." "Yes, a tale is told," said Thatford. "We thought we had everything dead under cover.
The greenhorns believed it and the funkers, who saw a plentiful crop of spies in every bush, found no difficulty in mobilising their terrors from my governess already languishing in the Tower of London to myself, who suddenly became a tennis-champion and an habituee of the German officers' camps! The Dresden of my day was different from the Dresden of twenty years after.
You should shleep, baby greenhorns...!" A large man with shovel teeth ambled over. Frank managed half to rise. He met the blow and gave some of it back. Ramos was doing likewise, gamely. Then Nelsen's head zeroed out again in a pyrotechnic burst... He awoke to almost absolute silence, and to the turning of the whole universe around him.
We all have to go through some such performance when we are greenhorns." "Not for me!" exclaimed the Western girl with emphasis. Nan was silent for a moment, guiding the new girl through the unfamiliar and only half-lighted passages to the back stairway. Then Nan asked: "Does your knee hurt?" "Of course it does." "I have some lotion in my room. It is good for a sprain, or anything like that.
As for the priests, there was the Abbe Halma, the same to whom M. Larose, his collaborator on la Foudre, said: "Bah! Who is there who is not fifty years old? a few greenhorns perhaps?"
My father found occasion to instruct or correct us even on the way from the pier to Wall Street, which journey we made crowded together in a rickety cab. He told us not to lean out of the windows, not to point, and explained the word "greenhorn." We did not want to be "greenhorns," and gave the strictest attention to my father's instructions.
I was sick of the city, and it just suited me to take a run and to get out of the place for a few months." "Do you think it is rich, Pete?" "One never can say," Hoskings replied with a grin. "We are not greenhorns any of us, and we know there is no saying how things are going to turn out.
If we had been greenhorns, we would have blindly followed the startled old man right through the stream of retreating burghers and exploding 15-pounders. But, fortunately, the war had taught us, and we moved on with the stream, but a little more to the left, and, I cannot deny it, with a feeling of great anxiety as to what was to become of us if the old man had indeed told the truth.
What can you do with such greenhorns? Why don't they stop in their own country? I've just been vaccinated myself, and it's no joke to get my arm knocked about like this! 'Then show them the red marks, and that will quiet them. The policeman laughed. A sleeveless policeman! It would destroy all the dignity and prestige of the force. 'Then I'll show them mine, said Bloomah resolutely.
