I simply cannot thole the look. And he knows it too. The thing'll gang smash at the outset I'm talling ye, now it'll go smash at the outset if it's left to me. And than, ye see, you have a better way of approaching folk!" "Ith that tho?" said the Deacon dryly. He shot a suspicious glance to see if the Provost was guying him.
"How?" he whispered huskily. "From his own lips. It was only a few days before he went. I came upon them talking together, and Will, saying good-by to her, turned and joined me, to ask some question, or other. I liked him well, as you know, and began guying him a little about Rachel; and what do you think he said?" "What?"
Unable to account for the sudden change of mood, Hadley came to the conclusion that the railroad man was enjoying a joke at his expense. "You were guying me, eh?" he laughed. Stafford hiccoughed and shook his head. With drunken gravity he replied: "No, siree sure as your life she's going to marry me." Calling the waiter, he motioned to him to open another bottle of wine.
"He was the only man who had any at all, for that matter," suggested Shem, "and it required all his courage to show it. Everybody was guying him.
One idea was uppermost in my mind as I read it that I had never before heard the beating of so many hearts; and the atmosphere is so sweet that, more than once, I fancied that the paper must have been scented." "Oh, come now," Lyman cried, "you are guying me." "It does sound like it, I admit, but really I am not. And I don't bring you my opinion alone.
"That will do," said his grace. "Yes, 'pon my soul, it's quite extraordinary," he took a cigar case from his pocket, proffered a cigar which Jones took, and then lit one himself. "Look here," said Jones suddenly alarmed by a new idea, "you aren't guying me, are you? you haven't taken it into your heads that I've gone dotty mad?" "Mad!" cried the old gentleman with a start.
"Ted can't do any guying this morning," declared Greg readily. "If he does, the umpire will rule him out of the game, and that would snap all of Ted's nerve. No; Ted won't guy us to-day." "But I'll tell you just what will happen to us," Dick offered. "The spectators who come from the South Grammar aren't under the umpire's orders.
One of the corroborating proofs that this is after all not a king's war, but a people's war, is found in the kind of stories they were forever telling Henry and me about the war. They are not hero stories. Mostly they are funny stories, more or less gently guying the "pomp and circumstance of glorious war," for it is the proud boast of the British army that this is a noncoms' war.
The men in the office say I dream too much. They're always guying me about it. But, haven't you noticed, it's the ones who dream who find their dreams come true. Now this isn't real war, but it's a near war, and when the real thing breaks loose, I can tell the managing editor I served as a war correspondent in the Cuban-Spanish campaign. And he may give me a real job!"
In trying to skirt the hazels, he had stepped over the cliff-edge, and had dropped five feet or more to a rather narrow ledge that juts out over the ravine. Well did he remember this ledge. More than once, on walks with the Mistress and the Master, he had paused to look down on it and to think fun it would be to imprison someone there and to stand above, guying the victim.
