At first Freddie started to call the kitten Blackie, but Flossie said that wasn't a very "'ristocratic" name at all. "I'll tell you what," said Bert jokingly, "Let's call him Snoop," and in spite of all efforts to make the name something else Snoop the cat remained from that time to the day of his death. He grew very fat and just a trifle lazy, nevertheless he learned to do several tricks.
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.
He did not marry till somewhat late in life, owing to his inability to support a wife in addition to the care of his mother and sister, although I have heard my father say to him, jokingly, "Scott, it would not cost you so much to keep a wife as it does to keep all these dogs; she'd save more than she'd cost. Try it now, and take the word of one who knows."
Within a few months of his wife's death he married a widow, more for the care of the household than for his pleasure, as she was not precisely beautiful nor, as he jokingly says himself, a girl, but a keen and watchful housewife; with whom he yet lives as pleasantly and agreeably as if she were a most charming young girl.
Lambert had asked Silver this question, but had obtained no definite answer, since the secretary protested that she had not explained her reasons. Jokingly referring to possible burglars, she had borrowed the revolver from Silver which he had obtained from Garvington, and it was this action which first led the little secretary to suspect her.
Shortly after that opera night Tevkin provided a box at one of the Jewish theaters for a play by Jacob Gordin I was quite chummy with the girls. They would jokingly call me "Mr. Capitalist" and, despite their father's protests, "bleed" me for all sorts of contributions. One of these came near embroiling me with Moissey.
When we got there our clothes were pretty well saturated with bear's oil, and we jokingly said it must have soaked through our bodies, we had eaten so much bear meat. I began to feel quite sick, and had a bad headache. I felt as if something must be done, but we had no medicine. Mr.
It was the most simple thing in the world for two persons who loved each other to be married. She was so secure in her happiness that she was perfectly calm. "Since it is agreed upon," she said jokingly, "give me your hand." He took her little hand and kissed it, as he said: "It is all arranged."
Only, at each exertion, a few bits of stone came crumbling from the upper part of the wall and still further narrowed the space in which he was able to move. It cost him a considerable effort to master his excitement and to say, jokingly: "That's capital! I shall be reduced now to calling for help. I, Arsène Lupin! Yes, to call in the help of those gentlemen of the police.
Confess!" the husky young flier roared in a jokingly ferocious tone. "Don't get sore!" Rock gasped between chuckles. "I couldn't resist. Boy, did you hear everyone squeal when the lights went out?" Tom grinned in relief. "How about another dance, Phyl?" As the music struck up again, he squeezed Phyl's hand. "I sure appreciate your concern, even if I didn't rate it."
