You lean ag'in' it an' it freezes you; you turn your back to it an' you've got to go to clawin' icicles out of your back. Why in hell can't they have a wind that's got some sense to it?" "It ain't c-cold, Shorty," jibed a slender puncher with a saturnine eye and a large, mobile mouth. "Kells," grinned the giant; "your voice is froze, right now!" And yet the men enjoyed the cold air.
What a man has done with his life before a girl the right girl comes into it isn't a personal injury to her, since she wasn't a part of his life then. You know what I mean. But she has a right to know it before she chooses." "How many would choose under those circumstances?" he jibed. Peter smiled. "Quite a few," he said cheerfully.
"Mighty queer tactics," muttered Edwards. "I think she's steering herself." "Good thing she carries a weather helm," commented Ives, who was an expert on sailing rigs. "Most of that type do. Otherwise she'd have jibed her masts out, running loose that way." Captain Parkinson appeared on deck and turned his glasses for a full minute on the strange schooner.
"Jibed all standing," said Priscilla. "I didn't mean to, of course. I must have been sailing her by the lee. But it's all right. We didn't ship more than a bucketful. I say, I'm rather sorry about your hat; but that's a rotten kind of hat in a boat anyway. Would you mind getting up to windward? I've got to luff her a bit and she'll heel over." "Is it gone?" "What?

While he jibed at his superiors, his subordinates learned to dread the explosions of his wrath.
Things were happening so fast that I couldn't keep track of them, and now, just at the crucial minute, the old May jibed, fell off from the wind, and went into the trough of the sea. "Meanwhile the mainmast, with one stay gone, was whipping from side to side like a great, loose stick.
This banter, coupled with the assurance that the girl knew exactly what she was about, cooled Lennon's excitement. His high strung nerves relaxed. "No need to remind you I'm a tenderfoot," he jibed at himself. "Coming up the cañon I've been shooting Apaches at every bend." The mirth left Carmena's face. Her lips straightened in hard lines and her eyes flashed. "It's no joke," she said.
"Say, this gives us some idea how long a whole hour would be," remarked one of the midshipmen. "Stop that man from talking," jibed another severely. Jack had most of the time clear for instruction, after that, as few of the young men cared to talk. But at last another ventured to inquire: "How much of the time is gone?" "Nineteen minutes," Benson answered, after a look at his watch. "O-o-o-oh!"
Jock smiled a little patient smile and brushed an imaginary fleck of dust from the sleeve of his very correct coat. "I want to ask him for a job as office boy," he jibed. An answering grin overspread the fat features of the usher. Even an usher likes his little joke. The sense of humor dies hard. "I have a letter from him, asking me to call," said Jock, to clinch it. "This way."
But my mother will get the next piece." Jerry thought of his mother reaching in the box for a pink mint and smiled. "You're up to something. I can tell it by the way you look," remarked Cathy. He would have to be on his guard against Cathy, Jerry realized. Up till now he had found it almost impossible to keep a secret from his twin sister. "Want me to wipe away your tears?" he jibed.
