"That's how," replied the saloon-keeper, with a triumphant grin at the plausible Slum. "Wal, now. You plumb rattle me. To think o' your goin' over from a pal like that," said Slum, protestingly, while the butcher guffawed and stretched his arms further along the bar. "Guess he's had some," observed the carpenter, shuffling his cards anew.
"Well, bring your work here so we can profit by it," exclaimed a joker, and the class guffawed. The next morning the lad brought his picture a woman's face a picture of a face, homely, wrinkled, weather-beaten, but with a look of love and patience and loyalty beaming out of the quiet eyes. "Who did this?" demanded the teacher.
When he put the proposition up to McGivney, the rat-faced man guffawed in his face. He found it so funny that he did not stop laughing until he saw that he was putting his spy into a rage. "What's the joke?" demanded Peter. "If I'm ruined, where'll you get any more information?" "But, my God!" said McGivney. "What did you have to go and get that kind of a girl for?"
Then Bill took advantage of the absence of Kells, who went down to the brook, and he began to leer at Joan and make bold eyes at her. Joan appeared not to notice him, and thereafter averted; her gaze. The men chuckled. "She's the proud hussy! But she ain't foolin' me. I've knowed a heap of wimmen." Whereupon Halloway guffawed, and between them, in lower tones, they exchanged mysterious remarks.
I'll send a boy early to-morrow morning with a first-rate tonic, and you might give him any old medicine bottles you possess. I'm running short." Elkin hesitated a second or two. "I'll tell my housekeeper to look 'em up," he said. After the inquest he communicated this episode to Furneaux as a great joke. "Queer, isn't it?" he guffawed.
"Aunt Millie, Minnie won't let me sleep." Millie did not answer. Elton guffawed lustily. I returned to bed and found Minnie lying stiff and mute with fury. Elton left, the bridge-work brought to completion. He had a job waiting for him in another part of the country.
And the groundlings had guffawed! Perhaps it was a puzzle he could never solve. And now he first thought of the new piece. This threw him into fresh panic. What awful things, with his high and serious acting, would he have been made to do in that? Patiently, one by one, he went over the scenes in which he had appeared.
"I think," said the boy, goaded to reply, "that it would be better if young fellows of this country didn't think so much about racin' an' fightin'." The questioner stared blankly for a moment, then laughed suddenly in the boy's face, and turned away. The rest grinned. "Arvie's getting balmier than ever," guffawed young Bill.
Allchin guffawed, and at once looked ashamed of himself. "I quarrel," he added, "with people as are insulting, or as try to best me. It goes against my nature, sir, to be insulted and to be bested." They talked about the details of the business, and presently Allchin asked what name was to be put up over the shop. "I've thought of that," answered Will. "What do you say to Jollyman?"
"I will say, though, from what I have managed to glean of his projects, that the humble rôle you have been good enough to assign to me will be utterly out of place in his nobler schemes. Nevertheless, I hope to make myself useful." "Something to do with money, of course?" guffawed the Prince. "It is the only commodity I really understand," was the suave answer.
