He didn't talk about the war. He talked a lot about the effect of the war, on people and on institutions, and that sort of guff. Devilish deep, devilishly interesting. I won't push it on to you. You're one of those soulless, earth-clogged natures. "Tell you one thing, though, just to give you an idea of the way he's been developing all these years.
All these hifalutin' notions about its being a palladium and the voice of the people and the guardian of public interests are good enough to talk about on the editorial page. Gives a paper a following, that kind of guff does. But the duty of a newspaper is the duty of any other business, to make money.
Guff!" protested the thin streak of lavender in a rasping little lavender voice. "Mrs. Follison, though not a doll-face indeed, far from it is of most aristocratic bearing." "I suppose that person in the booth, then, is the adopted actress," guessed Mrs. Guff. "Any one can tell that's beauty and movement of the professional type."
"Say," Murphy continued, "give it straight, Filmer; does it be after meanin' life or death for Birkdale's girl? What's the almighty hurry, anyway?" He leered unpleasantly. Jock squared himself, and faced the engineer. "Come off with that guff!" he drawled. "What hurry there be is my hurry, you blamed idiot! And my reasons are my own, confound you!
"Is there anything I can do for you in that line?" "A whole lot," replied Guff. "I'll accept the price you gave Mrs. Guff on that river-view site." "Too late," answered Johnny cheerfully. "I withdrew that offer before Mrs. Guff left the office. Mr. and Mrs. Slosher have been in since then."
If there weren't, I wouldn't waste my breath talkin' to you about it. But there are things in it that are just guff, Henry, just guff. The kind of romantic slush that a young fellow throws off when he first realises that women are ... well, women, damn it! ... I wish to God, you would write a book about continuous croppin'! Now, there's a subject for a good book!
"What'sa idea drivin' yer crew up t' three an' a half er four?" "I was told to keep my crew working, and I've been doing that ... and only that!" Hanlon snapped. "And take your ugly, stinking face away from mine!" The disgust he felt at the brutality of these guards had made him so soul-sick with them he wasn't going to take any guff from one of them.
Well, when I had worked about half an hour, taking down his guff, he turns to me and says, 'Say, lend me a dollar. 'I haven't got but forty cents, I replied. But he didn't weaken. 'Well, let me have that, says he. 'You've got job and I haven't, you know. And he robbed me. I've got to go out now and see a business jay from Peoria.
It was Going Steady and had a picture of a boy and a girl gazing fondly at each other while skating. Cathy was not old enough to go steady Jerry had heard his mother say so and it made Jerry sick that his twin sister liked to read all that guff about having dates with boys and things like that. Now a horse story, or a dog story they were good reading.
Guff believed that he had climbed to the Summit of Greatness when he appeared in his $42 Plume. Not so. One Year the State Militia was to have an Encampment and the Governor gave Col. James Henry Guff the Job of buying all the Beans, Fresh Beef, and other Supplies, because there promised to be a slight rake-off. Officially he was known as the Commissary-General.
