The boys in Sunday school all laffed, and the minister said I was a bigger fool than Pa was, and that was useless. If you go back on me, now, I won't have a friend, except my chum and a dog, and I swear, by my halidom, that I never put no sand in your sugar, or kerosene in your butter.
"I've been here long enough to know that I am a better Scarecrow than an Emperor." "Why, how simple it is!" sighed Dorothy contentedly. "Professor Wogglebug was all wrong. It's not what you were, but what you are it's being yourself that counts." "By my Halidom, the little maid is right!" said Sir Hokus, slapping his knee in delight. "Let your Gheewizard but try his transformations! Out on him!
But the next instant a new manner of feeling took its place, an emotion I never had felt toward her before anger, rage! "It is well," said I, pulling together the best I could. "And now, by my halidom! or by George! or by anything! you shall be taken at your word. You breakfast here. Be glad if it is more than bread and water until you learn a better way of speech with me."
"That," he said slowly "that, my dear Miss Mary, will be discovered, with other things, when you hear my will read aloud on the day of my funeral?" "Well!" exclaimed Ruth, sinking back in armchair number one, at the right of the bedroom fireplace. "Well!" exclaimed Mollie, sinking back in armchair number two, facing her sister. "Likewise, good sooth! By my halidom! Gadzooks!
And now, last of all, Robin took his place, and all was hushed as he shot. The first shaft he shot split a piece from the stake on which the garland was hung; the second lodged within an inch of the other. "By my halidom," said King Richard to himself, "I would give a thousand pounds for this fellow to be one of my guard!" And now, for the third time Robin shot; but, alas for him!
"Well," said Jimmy Silver cheerfully, as he went with Kennedy down the steps, "I think we may call that a record. By my halidom, there'll be a row about this later on." With the best intentions in the world, however, a headmaster cannot make a row about a thing unless he is given a reasonable amount of time to make it in.
"Now, by my halidom, but I will fetter this monster and break the enchantment, or never see this place again." In vain the Princess Sabra entreated him not to undertake the adventure. Even the Amazonian Queen thought it beyond his power. At daybreak, accompanied by De Fistycuff, he set forth, leaving the side of his weeping wife, and assuring her that he would return in safety.
The other archers in this round were disconcerted by the preceding shots, or unable to keep the pace. They missed one after another and dropped moodily back, while the trumpet sounded for the third round, and the target was set up fifty ells distant. "By my halidom you draw a good bow, young master," said Rob's queer comrade to him in the interval allowed for rest.
He knew it would be useless to himself, and he feared it might be irritating to the foe. So he stood still and the two men seemed quite pleased with him. "By my halidom," said one, "a brave varlet this!" Robert felt pleased at being called brave, and somehow it made him feel brave. He passed over the "varlet."
When they beheld the huge monster just slain they all set up loud lamentations, bitterly cursing whoever had destroyed this their god. "Now, by my halidom, this is more than I can bear!" cried Saint George. "On, De Fistycuff, on! Down with the infidels!"
