We know it, each one for himself, that when we jibe or ridicule a good impulse in another, it is evidence of our weakness and incapacity to experience the same feeling ourselves, and it is the momentary hatred of envy that suggests a taunt or a mocking word on the firm resolution of our companion.
"Say," he exclaimed suddenly, after the Boy had prodded him with a searching jibe. "If ye'll let up on that snore, now, I'll take a day off from my cruisin', and show ye somethin' myself." "Good!" said the Boy. "It's a bargain. What will you show me?" "I'll take ye over to one of my ponds, in next valley, an' show ye all the different ways of trappin' beaver." The Boy's face fell.
'We must jibe, said Davies: 'just take the helm, will you? and, without waiting for my co-operation, he began hauling in the mainsheet with great vigour. I had rude notions of steering, but jibing is a delicate operation. No yachtsman will be surprised to hear that the boom saw its opportunity and swung over with a mighty crash, with the mainsheet entangled round me and the tiller.
He was the first to jibe. 'But for him they would never have seen me, he said. 'I should have been well by this time in the fresh air. 'It is his turn now, said another. I turned my head as well as I could and spoke to them all. 'I am a stranger here, I cried. 'They have made my brain burn with their experiments. Will nobody help me? It is no fault of mine, it is their fault.
"The discovery Connie and I did make, and to my mind it is rather important, is that you are right in thinking that there is a discrepancy between the walls of the oldest vault and the adjacent cellar. Outside the house, the foundation wall runs flush the length of the library and the wing beyond; inside, that same foundation wall doesn't jibe.
The day after the arrival of Prince Henry I met an English friend, and he rubbed his hands and broke out with a remark that was charged to the brim with joy joy that was evidently a pleasant salve to an old sore place: "Many a time I've had to listen without retort to an old saying that is irritatingly true, and until now seemed to offer no chance for a return jibe: 'An Englishman does dearly love a lord'; but after this I shall talk back, and say, 'How about the Americans?"
The game was up, but, after all, if he got his three thousand dollars he could be satisfied, for one way or another he had already extracted a great deal of money from Hawtrey. "If I were you I'd marry that girl right away," Edmonds advised Hawtrey. "You'd be safer if you had her to look after you." Hawtrey let the jibe pass.
A little gust of wind came: it was not strong a mere puff; but the man at the wheel was not attending to his duty: the puff, light as it was, caused the spanker to jibe that is to fly over from one side of the ship to the other the heavy boom passed close over the steersman's head as he cried, "Look out!"
The end of your long boom is liable to trip as you roll and wallow through the waves, and every time you rise on the crest of a big comber your rudder comes out of water, and your bow swings around until there is imminent danger of an accidental jibe.
"Bear up, my mother," she said to Lady Stafford who could scarcely sit her horse. "Give not the rabble cause to laugh and jibe." "But, my child, that we of the house of Stafford, be thus dishonored!" exclaimed the lady in anguish. "Oh, I cannot bear it! I cannot bear it! Carest thou not for this disgrace?"
