"It sounds lovely," said Delight; "I always wanted to belong to a club, but I never have before. Can't we cut up a jink, now?" "You must say 'cut up jinks, Flossy Flouncy," said King, smiling at the pretty, eager face. "You can't cut 'em by ones." "Well, cut some, and show me how." "I believe you think we cut 'em with scissors, like paper dolls," said Marjorie, laughing.
The hawks, in turn towering and stooping, showed the line to take, for the deer was invisible to the dogs, and generally to the riders. But the dogs had learnt to work by the hawks, and cutting a corner here, or favoured by a jink there, gradually closed up, the part of the hawks being, by constant striking, to delay and confuse the deer.
It may make rhyme jingle in your ears, but it will never make sterling coin jink in your pockets. Even the immortal Homer had to sing his own verses about the streets; and ye have heard the epigram 'Seven cities now contend for Homer dead, Through which the living Homer begg'd his bread.
Even with the feline assistance of Mrs. Arbroath, who came readily to her husband's aid in his capacity of "downing" a woman, especially as that woman was so much better-looking than herself, nothing of any importance was accomplished in the way of either shaking Mary's established position in the estimation of Weircombe, or of persuading the parishioners to a "'Igh Jink" view of religious matters.
And this was the same minister who had once told her that her soul was as precious to him as that of any other in his parish and then driven her from respectable Jink Lane to the disreputable Daurfoot! It all passed through her mind in a flash, while yet Gibbie pulled and she resisted. "Gilbert, come here," called Mrs. Sclater. He went to her side, obedient and trusting as a child.
I was losing patience of his attitude and speaking perhaps with bitterness, for here were his foolish ideas of punctilio bringing us a mile or two off our road and into a part of the country where we were more certain of being observed by enemies than in the way behind us. "You jink from ambuscade to ambuscade of phrase like a fox," I cried.
They drawed and they drawed, till they jest got it even with the ground, when Toddy spoke out all in a tremble, 'There,. says he, 'we've got it! And the minit he spoke they was both struck by suthin that knocked 'em clean over; and the rope give a crack like a pistol-shot, and broke short off; and the pot went down, down, down, and they heard it goin', jink, jink, jink; and it went way down into the earth, and the ground closed over it; and then they heard the screechin'est laugh ye ever did hear."
She made haste to lock her door, and they walked side by side to the Widdiehill. As they crossed the end of it she cast a look down Jink Lane, and thought of her altered condition with a sigh. Then the memory of the awful time amongst the sailors, in which poor Sambo's frightful death was ever prominent, came back like a fog from hell.
This place is fair death to me." And he began to walk towards the inn. It was Catriona who spoke the first. "He has sold you?" she asked. "Sold me, my dear," said Alan. "But thanks to you and Davie, I'll can jink him yet. Just let me win upon my horse!" he added. "Catriona must come with us," said I. "She can have no more traffic with that man. She and I are to be married."
"I don't know," the sergeant admitted. "It could be a bobcat. Canada lynx. Jink, here, has a theory that it's some escapee from the paper-doll factory, with a machete. Me, I hope not, but I'm not ignoring the possibility." The man with the matinee-idol's face nodded. "It could be a lynx. I understand they're not unknown, in this section."
