Up there on the red hilltop, hobnobbing with the yellow cactus, he had resolved never to think of her again; but down here among human habitations, fresh from the good human intercourse of the last ten minutes, he did not feel so sure about it. He thought that, on the whole, it might be as well to decide that question later.
Topman brought her lunch, and consulted her about dinner. 'You will not dine until Mr. Wendover comes back, I suppose, miss? You and he can have a nice little dinner together at seven. Ida blushed at the mere notion of hobnobbing alone with a gentleman in that water-side lodging. 'No thanks; this will be my dinner, she answered quietly. 'Please don't get anything more for me. No doubt Mr.
Come along with me; Mademoiselle Minette has opened her canteen!" Presently we entered a large room, at one end of which sat a very pretty Parisian brunette, who bade me a gracious welcome. The place was crowded with captains and corporals, lieutenants and sergeants, all hobnobbing, hand-shaking, and even kissing each other.
"Does he want more?" says Tony, very lordly; whereat the other laughed and replied: "You have given him enough to retire from his business and open a gaming-house over the arcade." Tony joined in the laugh, and this incident bridging the preliminaries, the two young men were presently hobnobbing over a glass of Canary in front of one of the coffee-houses about the square.
"Still hobnobbing with the swells, I see," remarked Billy, as Frank rejoined his chums. "He was telling me of a letter that his brother had written me about my mother's property," explained Frank. "Queer that it hasn't reached me. Did any of you fellows get any mail yesterday?" "I got a couple of letters," replied Billy. "Tom handed them to me just before we went into action yesterday morning."

Balzac was heavy and broad of figure.
'And what came of it? I asked, for our new acquaintance was laughing silently to himself. 'Well, my three friends ran down their hare, and pulled out their flasks, as men who had done a good stroke of work. They were still hobnobbing and laughing over the slaughtered bunny, and one had dismounted to cut off its ears as the prize of their chase, when I came up at a hand-gallop.
The most gentlemanly-appearing, quiet and affable officer we had yet found along the road in the Overland Company's service was the person who sat at the head of the table, at my elbow. Never youth stared and shivered as I did when I heard them call him SLADE! Here was romance, and I sitting face to face with it! looking upon it touching it hobnobbing with it, as it were!
I want to know what's going to be done with him right now. We're the only ones that know about this. Are we just going to keep whist, or shall we tell on him?" "Let's tell on him!" shouted Sandy. "Who'll you be telling?" said Jean with some scorn. "Why, the bailie, maybe, or the Auld Laird himself," said Sandy. "Havers!" said Jean. "You're a braw lad to go hobnobbing with the bailie.
Is it worth while?" "Lauzanne is going to do great things for us, father. I'm sure of it." "Still young, Allis. I talked like that when I was your age. Fancy and horse racing go arm in arm always, and they're like an experienced man of forty hobnobbing with the little love god; they're just about as well mated."
