"I'll come over to get them any time you say." "All right," she gaily agreed. "As I told you this morning, I have an engagement for this afternoon, but if you'll come over after luncheon I'll try to find a half-hour or so for you anyhow." Great blotches of perspiration sprang out on his forehead. "Jinks!" he ejaculated.
A titled woman of France fell in love with one of them, and there were all sorts of high jinks. As to the young girl La Belle Americaine they called her it seems that Paris could not have enough of her. She was all the rage. She taught them the dances of the 'sauvages. 'Tres interessantes' the Frenchmen thought these dances, it seems. That's all we know of her she danced.
"Certainly, sir," said the sergeant, making a note of it in his book, "but please, sir, how do they be spelled, Captain Jinks, sir?" "S-p-i-s-e, spies, of course, idiot!" snapped the captain. "Now then, off with 'em. Separate cell for each prisoner, bars to the windows. Heavy chains on this gentleman in particeler," pointing to Rudolf. "Bread and water, on a Sunday.
This amusement is superintended by the Friar, according to the recurrence of certain fustian words, to be repeated by every compotator in turn before he drank a species of High Jinks, as it were, by which they regulated their potations, as toasts were given in latter times.
"What are you goin' to do fer a turkey?" inquired Field. "And rich brown gravy?" added the carpenter. "And cranberry sauce and mince-pie?" supplemented Lufkins. "Well, maybe we could git a rabbit for the turkey," answered the smith. "And, by jinks! I kin make a lemon-pie that tastes like a chunk dropped out of heaven," volunteered Keno, pulling at his sleeves.
Jinks, whose drawn sword was in his hand. "Back! rash youth!" cried Jinks, with terrible emphasis, "or this sword shall split thy carcass back!" And the speaker flashed the sword so near to Cloud's eyes that he tossed up his head and nearly reared. Verty had been gazing at the sky, and was scarcely conscious of Mr. Jinks' presence; but the movement made by Cloud aroused him.
Jinks' action in aiding and abetting Murphy, after discovering that his own company was out of the running, was so sportsmanlike that, if you will kindly advise me of the expense to which you were put in sending him to Papeete, we will gladly send you our check to cover. "It took the capable Murphy about an hour and a half to get the lay of the land and then he started to play his little game.
"And you met nobody?" "Oh, yes; I met Ralph, and Mr. Jinks, and others." "Jinks! I'll score that Jinks yet!" said Mr. Rushton; "he is an impertinent jackanapes, and deserves to be put in the stocks." "I don't like him much," said Verty, smiling, "I think he is very foolish." "Hum! I have no doubt of it: he had the audacity to come here once and ask an opinion of me without offering the least fee."
I was in a good deal of pain, and felt sickly that every pulse of my heart throbbed in my mangled hand. The other spat straight in front of him. "Damme if I know," he said. "This cursed business ought to have been over and done with an hour agone. I told Jinks to have my rarebit and noggin down by the gate-house fire at half-past five, and it's six now."
It took the spare time of scores of men for weeks; yet these 750 business men, professional men, artists, newspaper workers, struggled for the honor of helping out on the Jinks; and the whole thing was done naturally and with reverence. It would not be possible anywhere else in this country; the thing which made it possible was the art spirit which is in the Californian. It runs in the blood.
