You sawr 'ow them tinkers jibbed just now. I must 'umor 'em a bit, d n 'em. But wait till the next time some of 'em ships under me. Lord luv' a duck, won't I skin 'em? Not 'arf!" De Sylva, with all his admirable command of English, could not follow the Coke variety in its careless freedom. But he knew his man.
Before another man could run to the helm the vessel yawed to port; the boom, already wounded, jibbed over and parted amidships, rendering the huge mainsail of no use, and creating much confusion on board. There was now no fear of her being able to haul her wind for some time, and coming up, hand over hand, with her, we ranged alongside.
It began to be clear to Bill that any move he took except full confession, at which he jibbed was going to involve Jerry Nichols as an ally; and this discovery had a soothing effect on him. It made him feel that the responsibility had been shifted. He couldn't do anything till he had consulted Jerry, so there was no use in worrying.
He neither jibbed foolishly at the proposal, nor did he surrender lightly to any of the willing heiresses who threw themselves at his head. He accepted his destiny with the fatalism which every soldier must carry in his knapsack, and took up his post as Mars in attendance in Lady Everington's drawing-room, recognising that there lay the strategic point for achieving his purpose.
"We could have taken it in turns." "With long turns for the willing horses, and short turns for shirkers! No, thanks! Better each to stick to our own." "Besides which, forget stiles.

But the selfishness of human nature demanded that advantage should be taken of the situation. If Minky, who recently had jibbed at trading gold, had suddenly eased the market, well, it was "up to him." It was his "funeral." The public jumped at the chance of realizing, and so relieving themselves of the cloud of trouble threatening them.
But there was not a shadow of doubt about his being the person named in the will. Perhaps, if it had been worded "my lawful son," Themis would have jibbed. The young man, on coming of age, acquired control of the whole of his father's property, and soon started on a career of extravagance and debauchery.
Professor Parkins, one of whose principal characteristics was pluck, spent the greater part of the day following his arrival at Burnstow in what he had called improving his game, in company with this Colonel Wilson: and during the afternoon whether the process of improvement were to blame or not, I am not sure the Colonel's demeanour assumed a colouring so lurid that even Parkins jibbed at the thought of walking home with him from the links.
There was no path, but the underwood was low, and Vivian took his horse, an old forester, across it with ease. Essper's jibbed; Vivian found himself in a small green glade of about thirty feet square.
Well, look here, I'm at a loose end again. Nevile's taken 'em out driving to a tea-party to the Sowerbys. I jibbed, though I was asked. I lied, because they drove me into a corner. I couldn't face old Sowerby's chin and all those gels with their embroidered curates what? You know what I mean. I mean their church-work, and the curates they do it for.
