Doctor chap rather jibbed a bit at being rushed, but humpback kept him to it devilish cleverly and the verdict was as good as given. The doc. was just going out of the box when Humpo called him back. 'One moment more, Doctor, if you please. Can you tell me, if you please, approximately the age of the child approximately, but as near as you possibly can, Doctor?
I certainly could not have done you much service with my riding whip. Hilloa! Essper, where are you?" "Here, noble sir! here, here. Why, what have you got there? The horses have jibbed, and will not stir. I can stay no longer: they may go to the devil!" So saying, Vivian's valet dashed over the underwood, and leaped al the foot of the Prince.
He was giving her directions how to steer up a hill, formidable from its narrow track and deep drop on either side. Dahlia, it seemed, jibbed sometimes, she must Bluebell was paying no attention. Good Heavens! what was happening? the leader backing and sliding! Jack's stinging whip and clutch at the reins could not arrest the catastrophe.
"Well, that's what I think, and the other day pa and I were huskin' corn in the barn, and there was a horse jibbed on our hill, and the driver got down and licked him with the butt end of his whip, and kicked him with his great cowhide boots, and I asked pa if I might take out a measure of oats and see if I couldn't coax that horse to take his load up the hill you see pa owned a jibber once and I knew how he used to manage him.
Well, good-bye, my good sir; God bless you. 'Good-bye, Anastasei Ivanitch. They led the horse home for me. The next day he turned out to be broken-winded and lame. I tried having him put in harness; the horse backed, and if one gave him a flick with the whip he jibbed, kicked, and positively lay down. I set off at once to Mr. Tchornobai's. I inquired: 'At home? 'Yes.
"Miss Ruth, if you had a horse now that jibbed, would you lick him?" "That jibbed," she repeated doubtfully. "Why, yes; stopped in the road, you know; wouldn't go." "Oh, yes; now I understand. No, indeed, Sammy! If I had a horse that jibbed, I should be very patient with him and try to cure him of the bad habit by kindness. I should know that beating would make him worse."
He could not bear her vowels, her 'r's'; he resented the way she had looked at him, as if it were his fault that Annette could never bear him a son! His fault! He even resented her cheap adoration of the daughter he had not yet seen. Curious how he jibbed away from sight of his wife and child! One would have thought he must have rushed up at the first moment.
What do you think? he said, scornfully. Then he got fever, and had to be carried in a hammock slung under a pole. As he weighed sixteen stone I had no end of rows with the carriers. They jibbed, ran away, sneaked off with their loads in the night quite a mutiny.
