Zoie came to a full stop and waited for him to enumerate the various treasures that he had lost by marrying her. He did so. "Before we were married," he continued, "you pretended to adore children. You started your humbugging the first day I met you. I refer to little Willie Peck." A hysterical giggle very nearly betrayed her.
That was it, and there was relief truly, of a sort, in taking it in: she was humbugging him already, by absolute necessity, as she had never, never done in her life doing it up to the full height of what she had allowed for.
I'm not humbugging." "Shut up, Bobs!" said Anthea. "Silence for the Squirrel's oration," said Robert. Cyril balanced himself on the edge of the water-butt in the backyard, where they all happened to be, and spoke. "Friends, Romans, countrymen and women we found a Sammyadd. We have had wishes.
Old Rowley keeps his ship dodging outside because it's cooler at sea than stewing in this harbour, but he sends in a boat for news every morning. What he is most anxious for is to get the notorious Nichols into his hands; take him home for a hanging. It seems clear to me that they are humbugging him ashore. Nichols! Where's Nichols?
"George Hawker, it's many years since we met, and I'm not so young as I was. I should like to make peace before I go, as I well know that I'm the chief one to blame for you getting into trouble. I'm not humbugging you, when I say that I have been often sorry for it of late years. But sorrow won't do any good. If you'll forgive and forget, I'll do the same.

I swear to you there is nothing between me and Lizzie I believe she is over head and ears in love with some fellow who has treated her very badly. She never would tell me who he was. In fact, she told me she had left London so that she might get over it. There would be no use my humbugging you, and I swear there is not, and never was, anything between me and Lizzie Baker.
I can't go against her wishes." Yet somehow he felt sure that she would be his. A thousand slimy, humbugging old aunts should not keep them apart. From Portsmouth he wrote a letter to his sweetheart on every day of the year for three years except on those days of joyous leave when he could get away and talk to her instead of writing to her.
“Are—are those the three ways you spoke of—to make women like you, I mean?” Lady Alicia ventured to ask, though she was beginning to wish the sofa was larger. “They are examples of the three classical methods: cuddling, humbugging, and piquing. Which do you prefer?” “Tell me about your—your troubles,” she answered, gaining courage a little.
Perhaps I can help you, Mr. Stanmore. Can you favour me with the date?" "Yes, I can," answered Dick, "and the name too. It's no use humbugging about it. Miss Bruce was the lady's name. There! Now she wants her jewels back again. She's changed her mind." Mr. Rose took a ledger off the table, and ran his finger down its columns. "Quite correct, sir," said he, stopping at a particular entry.
