The old gentleman thought a shilling too much, but there was no shop in the street to get change at, so he gave it to the boy. 'There, he said jokingly, 'I'm coming here again next Monday at the same time, and mind you're here, my lad, to work it out. 'Thank you, Sir, said Kit. 'I'll be sure to be here.
"Now, you see, Mother," Mr. Maynard went on, "how Midget feels about the matter. Well, my feelings are exactly the same, only I choose a different mode of expression. I'm sorry the child is so upset because I jokingly agreed to the plan, but she'll get over it in a few minutes, with her mother's help.
And he did not deny it; for in truth he was engaged on poisons, and was perfecting an invention by which could be discovered traces of all the alkaloids which up to that time had escaped analysis. If his friends reproached him, even jokingly, on sending away sick people in the afternoon, he grew red with rage. "Parbleu!" he answered, "I find you superb! I am a doctor four hours in the day.
From such facts it is easy to understand the boatswain's answer to Clifton's friend, and the credulity of those who heard it; more than one repeated jokingly that he expected one day to see the dog take human shape and command the manoeuvres with a resounding voice.
It was a great relief to both of them when the doctor came in. He was always in a good humor, talkative, busy, vulgar, worthy. He ate, drank, talked, laughed, plentifully. Anna used to talk to him a little: but they hardly ever touched on anything but the food in front of them or the price of things. Sometimes Braun would jokingly tease her about her pious works and the minister's sermons.
When he joined her, there was something jokingly apologetic about his manner, and he was smoking a cigarette; and she could not help thinking that she would have respected him more if he had held her. "Women beat me," he said. "They're the most erratic stock in the market." It is worthy of remark how soon the human, and especially the feminine brain adjusts itself to new conditions.
It is the only thing I really like about this country: the babies and the manner in which they are understood. On our way we meet our married friends of the Triomphante, who, much surprised at seeing me with this mousko, jokingly exclaim: "What! a son already?" Down in the town, we make a point of bidding goodby to Chrysantheme at the turning of the street where her mother lives.
As the days of waiting to hear from Lomac passed by, the boys made the Spaceman Casino their headquarters, hoping to pick up information from the Scarlet Lake people who hung out there. Men came and went, but Mac and Pancho were there every night. Once, Rick commented on their nightly presence at the casino and said jokingly that work on the base seemed to allow plenty of free time.
"If you'll give me more money I'll try for a better record yet," said the boy fish with a smile. "Say, what are you trying to do become a millionaire?" asked the ring-master, jokingly. "Oh, I can always use more money," replied Joe. As he came down to the ground he saw Tonzo Lascalla looking at him. The trapeze performer had heard what Joe said last.
The regiment went into the trenches, and Maria, for the first time, heard the roar of the cannon and the whistling of the shells. Her comrades had jokingly told her that she would run when the first shot was fired, but she minded the bombardment no more than any one else.
