Heigh-ho! here you come, my good angel, and the tea is more than welcome." The doctor sank back in his deep armchair. Effie placed the fragrant tea on the table, and, pouring out a cup, brought it to her father. She had made crisp toast as well, but he did not care to eat. "Thank you, child," he said; "I am not hungry. The meals up at that place are preposterous nothing short of preposterous.
I thought she would not stand it long. He does not dance as well as he acts. Heigh-ho! Come in to supper with me, Middleton. The supper-room will be emptier now, and I am dying of hunger. You must be the same, for you had no regular dinner any more than we had. Come along.
That's my motto in life, 'Keep a bold front." For the life of him, all he could find to convey to her the bleeding quality of his sympathy was, "Poor, poor little woman!" "Heigh-ho!" she said, and again, "Heigh-ho!" There was quite a nape to her neck.
Jean turned over the leaves of the magazine, studying each pictured house, gloating over details of beauty and of age, then she pushed it away with a "Heigh-ho, but I wish we had a Tudor residence." "I'll buy you one," David promised her, "when I'm Lord Chancellor." "Thank you, David," said Jean.
Heigh-ho! and envy with her brooding yellow eyes and hypocrisy with her eternal smirk sit side by side in church. Oh, there are some good and kindly people in this ragged world of ours, and they go to church with prayer in their hearts and goodness on their lips and forgiveness in their hands. They wear no masks; their hearts and minds go in and out of church unchanged.
Corporal Morrison, "an' I'd kill O'Halloran's fat sow of a wife any day, but ye know how it is. 'E puts 'is head just inside the door, an' looks down 'is blessed nose so bashful, an' 'e whispers, 'Any complaints' Ye can't complain after that. I want to kiss him. Some day I think I will. Heigh-ho! she'll be a lucky woman that gets Young Innocence. See 'im now, girls. Do ye blame me?"
"Yes no," said Jasper critically; "I don't believe I'd put it there. It looks too much, Polly; there are so many vines about." "So it does," said Polly, in great relief. "Heigh-ho! when one is working over any thing it looks so different, doesn't it?" "I should say so," cried Jasper. "Oh, Polly, it can't ever in all this world be twelve o'clock." "It can't!" exclaimed Polly, in dismay.
Perhaps it wouldn't be too much trouble for him to drop the enclosed up at my aforesaid chamber, and any letters, etc., with it; but the enclosed should go without delay. N.B. He isn't to fetch Monday's Cobbett, but it is to wait my reading when I come back. Heigh-ho! Lord have mercy upon me, how many does two and two make?
He lighted a cigarette, and stood there till he had consumed it. "Heigh-ho!" he sighed at last, and turned back towards the villa. And "Yes," he concluded, "I must certainly keep an eye on our friend Peter Marchdale." "But I 'm doubting it's a bit too late troppo tardo," he said to Marietta, whom he found bringing hot water to his dressing-room. "It is not very late," said Marietta.
"Come, come, Alfred, you are getting too cunning. Why, you sly dog, do you think you can impose upon me with an air of ignorance because I am so sleepy. Heigh-ho." Another successful yawn. Sportsmen are surely the best sport in the world.
