'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.
"Hello, Captain Cronin, is that you?" "Yes! What do you want?" The voice continued, with a jolly laugh, ringing and infectious in its merriment. "Well, Captain, the joke's on you. Ha, ha, ha! It's a bully one! Ho, ho! Ha, ha!" "What joke?" "You're working on the Van Cleft case. Oh, sure, you are, don't kid me back. Well, Captain, you've missed two other perfectly good grafts.
"What a funny thing it is to be little! If I were not Antaeus, I should like to be a Pygmy, just for the joke's sake." The Pygmies had but one thing to trouble them in the world. They were constantly at war with the cranes, and had always been so, ever since the long-lived Giant could remember.
"Didn't, so there!" he snapped, as he turned away; and Step-hen, looking after him, wagged his head as he muttered: "Honest Injun now, I really believe he did take it, and the joke's gone so far he just hates to own up. Oh! all right, Bumpus, I'll get on to your game sooner or later; and then the laugh will be with you, just wait and see." It was the purpose of Thad, in the absence of Dr.

Fisher says 's he told her 't, seein' things is 's they is, he's lookin' to see them stockin's keep right on shrinkin' down through the minister's family until they end up 's socks on the thirteenth baby. A joke's a joke, 'n' I c'n see the p'int o' a good joke 's quick 's any one, but I mus' say I fail to see any fun in such a remark.
"Well, I didn't mean to dabble in witchcraft to-day further than the lighting of my pipe, but a witch I am and a witch I'm likely to be and there's no use trying to shirk it. I'll make a man of my scarecrow, were it only for the joke's sake."
"Nothing," she said of Jeanne, "ought ever to happen to her she's so awfully right as she is. Another touch will spoil her so she oughtn't to BE touched." "Ah but things, here in Paris," Strether observed, "do happen to little girls." And then for the joke's and the occasion's sake: "Haven't you found that yourself?" "That things happen ? Oh I'm not a little girl. I'm a big battered blowsy one.
"Why should I give an account of myself to you, you cursed old sot? you drink, sirrah: I can read it in your face." "I say, give an account of yourself; what's your business here?"

The ghost of a twinkle appeared again in the corners of the German blue eyes. Some fiend of rudeness seized me. "Laugh!" I commanded. Dr. Ernst von Gerhard stiffened. "Pardon?" inquired he, as one who is sure that he has misunderstood. "Laugh!" I snapped again.
