I might kick him for my football this half hour before I should get him awake. This lank jawed harlequin beside him is a handy fellow, to be sure; but, then, if he has hands, he has no head and he'd be afraid of his own shadow too, by this light, he is such a coward!
"Oh, he's gone down to prayers," said Beetle, watching the shadow of the house-master on the wall. "Rabbits-Eggs was only a bit drunk, swearin' at his horse, and King jawed him through the window, and then, of course, he rocked King." "Do you mean to say," said Stalky, "that King began it?" King was behind them, and every well-weighed word went up the staircase like an arrow.
"Fancy your spunk!" said Mary admiringly. "I wouldn't have dared do that and I'm not so slow. Mrs. Wilson says the two of you jawed something scandalous, but you come off best and then he just turned round and like to eat you up. Say, is your father going to preach here to-morrow?" "No. He's going to exchange with Mr. Perry from Charlottetown. Father went to town this morning and Mr.
"Told him that I had got pretty well accustomed by this time to be reprimanded for everything I did, but when it came to being jawed for things I had no thought of doing, and wouldn't do for all the wealth of Delhi, I was hanged if I would stand it. Then I handed in my resignation on the spot." "And what did he do?"
A plain, lantern jawed, Dutch colonel; with close-cropped hair, a long peaked beard, and an eye that looked as if it had never been shut; always dressed in a shabby old jerkin with tarnished flowers upon it, he took command with a stout but heavy heart, saying that the place should never be surrendered by him, but that he should never live to see the close of the siege.
He also complained that she was as "cross as Bedlam" to him, and "jawed" him whenever he entered the kitchen. Mrs. Preston, puzzled by these contradictory stories, brought the two contending parties face to face, in hope of either eliciting the truth or effecting a treaty of peace between them. She failed in both objects, however.
She jawed him for making an exhibition of himself, scolding as though he were a ten-year-old. "Well, I want to know!" she exclaimed, as he hobbled off, dejected and melancholy, leaning upon her arm, "thought he had to dance, indeed! What next? A gay old grandpa, this. He'd better be thinking of his coffin." It was almost midnight. The dance drew towards its close in a storm of jubilation.
It was a week before she received from Fern a letter of which this was a part: . . . & of course my family did not really believe the story but as they were sure I must have done something wrong they just lectured me generally, in fact jawed me till I have gone to live at a boarding house.
We are companions in misfortune. Lost lambs. Sheep that have gone astray. Divided, we fall, together we may worry through. Have you seen Professor Radium yet? I should say Mr. Outwood. What do you think of him?" "He doesn't seem a bad sort of chap. Bit off his nut. Jawed about apses and things." "And thereby," said Psmith, "hangs a tale.
I would have given my hopes of heaven if I'd had any, you know to go and paddle with 'em. Jolly party you were, my dear jolly old plump papa, rosy mamma and Philippa like a young tree, and Melusine and Hawise bright as apples; and then Vicky and you little dears, you were.
