Soaker, who made her old chin go, For hours, hobnobbing with Mrs. Syringo: Had Tib staid at home, I b'lieve none would have miss'd her, Or pretty Peg Runt, with her tight little sister," &c. &c. Towards the close of the year 1771, the elder Mr.
It may strengthen his interest in the church; and it must certainly be beneficial to him to associate with correct society after his wandering and Bohemian life. I hear all kinds of strange tales of his hobnobbing with this Mr Westray, the clerk of the works, and with other persons entirely out of his own rank.
I never dreamt of his taking it, but he did; and so, behold! there we were hobnobbing over the tea-table as if we were cronies." Westray was astonished.
"We missed it altogether on the white mustang and on Carlos Martine, didn't we?" "Yes. I would like to know if Martine is still in San Antonio." "Like as not and hobnobbing with some of them Mexican officers, too. Well, he sha'n't have your pap's land, and that's all there is about it." So the talk ran on, man and boy hardly knowing how to put in their time when not on guard duty.
Old beaux of the time of the Empire, with dyed and waxed moustaches, with dyed or grizzled hair flattened on their temples, their flabby cheeks cut across by stiff collars as jelly is cut by a knife, were hobnobbing, fat and lean, with young fops of the Republic, who with their sharp eyes, wide-open nostrils, their cheeks covered with brown or flaxen down, their hair carefully brushed, or already bald, seemed quite surprised to find themselves in such a place, and chattered and cackled among themselves like beardless conscripts, perverted and immoral but with some scruples still remaining and less cunning than these well-dressed old roués standing firmly at their posts like veterans.
The Khan shook my hand cordially at parting, and again begged me not to forget his warnings anent the Ameer of Afghanistán, with whom he is apparently not on the best of terms.

And here she was, at midnight, hobnobbing with quiescent murder and sudden death! To-morrow Burlingame would ask her to hustle up the Sunday stuff, and she would hustle. She wanted to laugh, but was a little afraid that this laughter might degenerate into incipient hysteria.
It was a huge pen with men, horses, camels, donkeys, dogs and poultry hobnobbing amid a daily wreckage of old provision tins, garbage of soiled forage and stable-sweepings and whatnot. All that, with a temperature of 116 degrees to 120 degrees Fahr. in the shade, wore the temper and added amazingly to the consumption of wet things.
I never heard any received woman accused of having had quite so many well, at least in this town, when a woman is openly larky she soon finds herself on the north side of the fence. There was my Lady Victoria hobnobbing with all the royalties at Homburg. But what interested me most was her attitude to Sir Cadge Vanneck " "What?" Isabel sat erect. "Has Sir Cadge Vanneck returned from Africa?
She's been hobnobbing with the fellow all the way down from the Irrawaddy, so I'm told. Never spoke to any one else. Made him sit at her side at table and jabbered Italian at him, as if she didn't want others to know what she was talking about. I know the man. Fired him from my plantation, when I found out what he was.
