"You bear up under the disgrace as well as anybody ever I saw. You know perfectly well you was tickled to death to have her tie that necktie on you. You was grinnin' like a Chessy cat all the time." "I wasn't, neither. I was chokin', not grinnin'. You don't know a grin from a choke." Zoeth changed the subject. "It's a mighty pretty necktie," he declared.
"Well, when they were gathered there according to orders, they looked streaked enough you may depend, thinkin' they were going to get it all round, and the wenches they fell to a-cryin', wringin' their hands, and boo-hooing like mad. Lavender was there with his cowskin, grinnin' like a chessy cat, and crackin' it about, ready for business.
It was characteristic of his nature that he feared and expected the worst. He was going to lose her. Of that he had no doubt. It would be his fault. He was being punished for the crimes of his youth and for the poltroonery that had kept him from turning Jake out of the house. June sat up excitedly in bed and pointed to a corner of the room. "There he is, in the quaking asps, grinnin' at me!
I could tell that by the way he was grinnin', but the fearful pity was neither me nor his Reverence could understand it!" They went off again with such utter abandon that Duncan feared the minister might be shocked by such uproarious behaviour on the public road.
"Sorry, old man; but you know, up at the camp summer before last why, everyone called you Sukey." "A lot of bounders they were too!" flares out Blair. "I I'd asked them not to. And I'll not stand it! So there!" "Oh!" says Hamilton, grinnin' tantalizin'. "My error. I take back the Sukey, Mr. Hiscock."
It took me back, I can tell yer. The coach was full of grinnin' passengers, an' the worst of it was that I didn't know how long Tom had been drivin' slow behind me an' takin' me out of windin'. There's nothin' upsets a cove as can't sing so much as to be caught singin' or spoutin' poetry when he thinks he's privit'.
Ever since he got home from the rodeo he's been singin' an' whistlin' an' grinnin' to himself all the time. He went out to the corral just now as merry as a lark." Phil laughed. "Anybody would be glad to get through with that rodeo, mother; besides, he is going to town to-morrow." "He is? Well, you mark my words, son, there's somethin' up to make him feel as good as he does."
"I don't know why you should use such language to him." "You've put your foot in it now," snickered the little man. "And I don't know what he's grinnin' and laughin' about. You both act as if too much studyin' and tooterin' was beginnin' to affect your brains. Now, why, don't you both git married, and give up this awful wearin' life you are leadin'?"
"I never hurt a woman, and I would never hurt one," he protested, "and you that's sailed with me knows it. But that blasted, grinnin' effijiggy there stands for that rotten old punk-heap that's jest gone to pieces out yender, and it's the only thing I've got to get back on. Three months from Turk's Island, Cap'n Sproul, with a salt cargo and grub that would gag a dogfish!
Mother av Hiven! how they cried, an' the ould she-god grinnin' above thim all so scornful! The dhrink was dyin' out in me fast, an' I was thinkin' harder than the thoughts wud go through my head-thinkin' how to get out, an' all manner of nonsense as well.
