I thought it must be a fish. Unless it was something living, it would not give that tremulous shaking. Good! I have it, and I commenced drawing in the line, while Clown jibed me "What? Caught one already? Very remarkable, indeed!" I had drawn in nearly all the line, leaving only about five feet in the water.
The past, bury it, forget it." "So hard. Heir of the ages, you know. Good deal harder to forget than never to have learned at all. That's easy," jibed Bond, with a touch of temper. "Oh, now!" cried Medora, fearful that another temper might respond. "If you must bring in those old Greeks," Abner proceeded, "take their method and let the rest drop.
"I say that Luke Tweezy is a damn liar," reasserted Swing, "and they ain't no difference of opinion about that." "Well, of course, if Luke " Alicran did not complete the sentence. "I am a lawyer," Luke Tweezy explained, hurriedly. "I ain't paying any attention to what his man says now." "Or any other time," jibed Swing. "Any of you boys see this?" Alicran asked of his three punchers.
I was right behind him all the time, and I dared to do whatever he did, even when he squared away before the wind and jibed his big sail over a most dangerous trick with such a sail in such a wind. He depended upon the brisk sea breeze and the strong ebb-tide, which together kicked up a nasty sea, to bring me to grief.
"Ain't you going to land me somewhere else first?" he demanded in a snarling voice. Tom quietly shook his head. The sailboat was now only a little more than half a mile from the pier. The wind was fair, blowing them almost straight to the pier. Tom Curtis was not looking. Suddenly the fellow sprang up and threw the tiller over. The boat jibed sharply. Madge cried out in quick alarm.
Wondering, intensely curious for that word "trouble" meant shooting in the vocabulary of men of the Deveny type Barbara drew back until she was certain the men in the street could not see her. When Deveny and Laskar disappeared, Strom Rogers laughed sneeringly: "Deveny's scared of 'Drag' Harlan, I reckon. It's a cheap frame-up." "Aw, hell," jibed the other; "you're jealous, that's all.
In the twinkling of an eye, the former jibed; then she was seen coming to the wind, losing sufficient ground in doing so to bring her just in a range with the two weather chase-guns. Cuffe instantly gave the order to open a fire. "What the d l has got into her?" exclaimed the captain; "she topples like a mock mandarin; she used to be as stiff as a church! What can it mean, sir?"
What is this body of mine worth? I used to make reply, 'A price that is beyond compute.... So within three years everything that I possessed vanished like smoke. Sometimes, of course, folk laughed at and jibed at me; nor did I ever refute them. But now that I have come to have a better understanding of life's affairs, I see that life is not wholly lived as it should be.
"We'll just step into this next room and listen." And through the partly open door, he and his wife heard Captain Dettmar, with tears in his voice, describe the loss of his owners. "I jibed over and went back across the very spot," he concluded. "There was not a sign of them. I called and called, but there was never an answer.
The interview could not have been pleasant: I shouldn't have known what to do with him. The chances are, that he would have escaped away with his pockets full, and jibed at me from a safe distance. And, if I had got my hands on him, I should have been still more embarrassed. If I had flogged him, he would have got over it a good deal sooner than I should.
