When he perceived the trick that had been played upon him, he was very angry, and exclaimed, "To think that I should have been so hoaxed by that hateful old dotard, and such a fellow as Sazen! And Genzaburô, too! out of gratitude for the favours which I had received from him in old days, I faithfully gave him good advice, and all in vain.
Pp., thin, the curse o' the crows upon you, pijor, darlin', but you are a Manus!* The damn' rip o' the world, that wouldn't give the breath he breathes to the poor for God's sake, and he'll threwn a man half-a-crown that 'll blarney him for farmin', and him doesn't know the differ atween a Cork-red a Yellow-leg." * A soft booby easily hoaxed. Different kinds of potatoes.
The end of her pinafore was in her mouth!... She turned to him sharply, letting the pinafore fall from her lips, and pointing at him with her finger, she began to laugh shrilly. "Ha, ha, ha!" she said. "I have you quarely gunked!" "Gunked!" he exclaimed, unable to see how he had been hoaxed. "Yes," she answered. "I gunked you nicely.
Firing under cover of that advantage, he did triple execution; for, in the first place, the distressing sympathy of the hearers with his distress of utterance won for him unavoidably the silence of deep attention; and then, whilst he had us all hoaxed into this attitude of mute suspense by an appearance of distress that he perhaps did not really feel, down came a plunging shot into the very thick of us, with ten times the effect it would else have had.
But there was no war, and there are people even to-day, mostly his journalistic enemies, who say that Staunton was hoaxed. "Do we receive our deserts in this world?" some one asked one night, when our dinner table at Saxby was like a suggestion of old times and we all paused to think. "Staunton has a peerage," Adele remarked.
Bleak trembled with nervousness. Had Quimbleton hoaxed him? What could halt this mighty pageant now? He was about to telephone to his city editor to go ahead with the one o'clock edition as originally planned.... From the sky came a roar of engines that drowned for a moment the thundering echoes of the parade.
The great object was to keep Sulla himself in the dark, and this Capito managed to do by the aid of Chrysogonus. None of the ten were allowed to see Sulla. They are hoaxed into believing that Chrysogonus himself will look to it, and so they go back to Ameria, having achieved nothing.
On the other, to accept as definite this accidental interruption to all his plans, to be not only conquered, but cheated and hoaxed by a dumb animal, was maddening. And in the meantime Torres had begun to think that when the night came the robber would disappear without trouble, and he, the robbed one, would find a difficulty in retracing his way through the dense forest.
Those visitors may still keep up their autumnal migrations to the slave states, and, after a hasty survey of the tinsel hung before the curtain of slavery, without a single glance behind it, and at the paint and varnish that cover up dead men's bones, and while those who have hoaxed them with their smooth stories and white-washed specimens of slavery, are tittering at their gullibility, they return in the spring on the same fool's-errand with their predecessors, retailing their lesson, and mouthing the praises of the masters, and the comforts of the slaves.
"Take it easy, Marigny," called Cline; "we've saved her." Some one laughed, and the suspicion that he had been hoaxed swept over Blake. "What's the joke?" he demanded. "I was frightened to death." "The house is quarantined." "I never dreamed you'd all come," Miss Warren was saying, sweetly. "It was very gallant, and I shall never forget it never."
