And Garry, who had been trying to marry Peggy for a year and was by no means as uncertain and mercurial in his affections as Kenny would have him believe, stared with eyes intelligent and reminiscent. "Well," he said softly, "I'll be jiggered. That's the limit!" "Be jiggered!" Kenny told him shortly. "And have done with it." Garry raised his eyebrows and departed.
How we did it or what transpired before we did it, doesn't matter, you dear old snooper." "What? Elizabeth and Jane? Unconditional surrender?" She nodded smilingly and The Laird admitted his entire willingness to be jiggered. Finally, having inspected his grandson, he turned for an equally minute inspection of his soldier son under the lamplight.
"Well, I'll be jiggered!" Empty ejaculated, as he sat down upon a rock to rest. "I can't make out what has happened to 'em. Guess it's not much use huntin' any more. We'd better go home now an' git somethin' to eat. I'm most starved." Douglas realised that it would be useless to search any longer just then.
The distant sound of a gun reverberated through the air apparently from the direction of the county-town. "Be jiggered!" cried the stranger who had sung the song, jumping up. "What does that mean?" asked several. "A prisoner escaped from the jail that's what it means." All listened.
The third man was tall, and he wore a soft hat drawn low over his face. "Well, I'll be jiggered!" muttered the trailer, pulling his cap down to his ears and quickening his pace. "If I didn't know better, I'd swear that was Hallock again or Hallock's shadder follerin' him at a good long range!" The chase was growing decidedly mysterious.
"Oh! ay; yes, yes the lady is quite right. We are full jiggered from our dead-eyes to our eye-bolts." "I thought as much, sir, from your ground hamper and top-tackles," added the relict smiling. "For my part there is nothing in nature that I so much admire as a full jiggered ship, with her canvas out of the bolt-ropes, and her clew-lines and clew-garnets braced sharp, and her yards all abroad."
There were no coats to be seen. "What d'you know about that?" said Archer. "Maybe they blew away," he added, looking about. "There hasn't been any wind," said Tom. "Look at that handkerchief." Near him lay a handkerchief which Archer remembered spreading on the ground beside him the night before. "Well I'll be jiggered," he exclaimed, looking about again in dismay.
He now walked round and round Rupert two or three times, and at last gave vent to his feelings: "Well, I am jiggered! There is no doubt about your disguise, Clinton, at least if you are Clinton and not a nigger who has stolen his voice. Did you ever see such a head of hair, Easton?"
A look of intelligence crossed Captain Mayberry's face. He shuffled over to a corner, and actually pressed a button. The chandeliers poured out a flood of electric light. "Jane did that," he muttered. "She likes light." "Well, I'll be hanged!" exclaimed Tom. "And I'll be jiggered!" added Nat. "The poor old man!" whispered Dorothy, venturing to take a step toward him.
"If so be as how as the corporal says that 'ere," cried Smallbones, striking the palm of his left hand with his right fist, "why I'm jiggered if he don't tell a lie as big as himself that's all. That 'ere man is my mortal henemy; and if that 'ere dog gets into trouble I'm a sartain to be in trouble too. What should I cut the dog's tail off for, I should like for to know?
