"You see, sir," he said to the captain, "my Black Polly an't quite as good as your charger, but she's more used to this sort o' country, an' I can take the short cuts where your horse could hardly follow." "Go, Ben, and good luck go with you! Besides, we can do without you, now that we have Mr Brooke to guide us." "Come wi' me, sir," said Hunky Ben, as he passed Charlie on his way to the stables.
"Well, then, I'm puzzled more than either of ye," returned Dick, "for my friend and mate is as true a man all straight an' aboveboard as ever I met with on sea or land." "That may be, boy, but there's some mystery about him, somehow." "Can ye explain what the mystery is, Jackson?" "Well, this is what Hunky Ben says.
As for Black Polly, she was left to follow at her own convenience, a whistle from Hunky Ben being at any moment sufficient to bring her promptly to her master's side. On reaching the plain the litter was laid aside, the blankets were fastened to the horses, and Shank prepared, as Dick said, to board Wheelbarrow. "Now then, Shank," said the seaman, while helping his friend, "don't be in a hurry.
Mills Happerton, with his wife, caused the frown on Lady Monogram's brow to loosen itself a little, for, so great was the wealth and power of the house of Hunky and Sons, that Mr. Mills Happerton was no doubt a feature at any dinner party.

Just as we was leavin' the waggins to ride on in advance I said to my missus says I Maggie, you may depend " "Hallo! Zook," cried Charlie, as the little man of the slums came limping up, "what have you done with your horse?"

She asked a question in a loud, clear voice. "What's that?" asked Hahn. "She's talking a kind of hunky Hungarian, I guess. The people here won't speak German, did you know that? They hate it." The crowd shouted back with one voice.
"What do you care what I do, Mex?" he snarled. "And as for you two Hunky Kuzaks you oversized bulldozers how about weight limits for blastoff? Damn I don't care how big you are!" In mounting rage, he was about to lash out with his fists, even at the two watchful football men. But then he looked surprised. With a terrible effort, he bottled up even his furious words.
