"I think the joke's on George more than even it is on Peewee and String," laughed Grant. At this moment Sam, who had been asleep in his room appeared, rubbing his eyes and gazing in surprise at the boys. "What's wrong?" he demanded gruffly. "Nothing," said George, beginning to laugh again. "It seems to me you make lots of fuss when nothin' is the matter. What are you all down here for anyway?"
"Now, our Scottish legislature, for the joke's sake I suppose, have constituted those men of no knowledge into a peculiar court for trying questions of relationship and descent, such as this business of Bertram, which often involve the most nice and complicated questions of evidence." "The devil they have? I should think that rather inconvenient," said Mannering.
"By James!" vowed Gowan. "Before I'll butcher for such a knock-kneed tenderfoot I'll see him, in " "Hold your hawsses, Kid," put in Knowles. "The joke's on me. You go on and look for that bunch of strays, if you want to. But I'm not going to back up when Chuckie says I'm roped in." Gowan looked fixedly at Ashton and the girl, swore under his breath, and swung to the ground.
But if you are, old boy, I'm going to take it outa your hide and don't you forget that." He grinned at his own mental predicament. "Honest, Andy, is this some josh, or do you mean it?" "By gracious, I wish it was a josh! But it ain't, darn it. In about two weeks or so you'll all see the point of this joke but whether the joke's on us or on the homeseekers' Syndicate depends on you fellows. Lord!
"Yes, missus," one of them rumbled hoarsely. "It's all a mistake, an'... well, the joke's on us." "The drinks, anyway," Billy grinned. Not only was Saxon not excited, but she was scarcely perturbed. What had happened was only to be expected. It was in line with all that Oakland had already done to her and hers, and, besides, Billy was not dangerously hurt. Broken arms and a sore head would heal.
"Do you really believe that I invested a penny of my money in that stock?" "Come, Gorham, admit that the joke's on you," Litchfield laughed. "Of course, it was your daughter who did it, and, of course, you knew nothing about it! Don't try to hide behind her skirts." Gorham looked across to where Covington was sitting, pale and unnerved by the unexpected development.
Whereupon there was a moment of embarrassed silence as the stakes were swept across the blanket-covered table, then a guffaw of rejoiceful mirth from the prospector. Case, as though carelessly, threw down his cards, face upwards, and there was not so much as a single pair. "The drinks are on me, oh, yes," said he, "but the joke's on the lieutenant."
I want to speak to yer," shouts Billy. An' Dave yanks his horse round. "What is it, Billy?" he says. "Look here, Dave," says Billy. "You had your little joke about the chimbly, an' we had our little joke about the fish an' Mrs Hardwick, so now we'll call it quits. A joke's a joke, but it can go too far, an' this one's gettin' too red-hot altogether. So we've fixed it up with Mrs Hardwick."
He wished to speak them fair, though doubts as to what they were began to rise up in his mind. "Och, now, let me go, I say! A joke's a joke all the world over; but if you souse me head over ears in that pool, and drown me entirely, it will be a very bad one to my taste now." The more, however, he shouted and struggled the harder the damsels pulled.
Next morning the boss happened to walk past the cages with the Professor, and when they came to Finn's place the Professor said "I reckon I'll give that brute best, unless you'd like him killed. I'll tackle that job for you with pleasure; but your Giant Wolf's no good for the show." "No, the joke's on me about the Giant Wolf," admitted the boss, crossly. "Sam had me for fair, over him.
