"Papa says I jollied you the other day." "What's that?" "Why, fooled you." "So you did, Nate Pollard, and 'twas awful mean." "It wasn't either. What made you climb that ridge-pole? You needn't have done it just because I did. But papa says I've got to to ask your pardon." "H'm! I should think you'd better! Tore my clothes to pieces. Smashed a gold watch."
When he ordered the Hired Hand to bring him a large Snake, they gave him a Sleeping Powder and told inquiring Neighbors that he was still out of his Head. Next day he found himself alive, thanks to a wonderful Constitution. The Samaritans came and stood around his Couch and jollied him and offered him everything except what he needed.
He was a trustworthy man, and we younger lads entertained no envy towards him. It was about nine o'clock when we mounted our horses and started. We jollied along in a party, or separated into pairs in cross-country riding, covering about seven miles an hour. "I remember," said Uncle Lance, as we were riding in a group, "the first time I was ever at Shepherd's Ferry.
"I kinder knew it was you," said Tom in his impassive way, "as soon as I saw you take that cigarette out of your mouth, 'cause you do it such a swell way, kind of," he added, ingenuously; "just like the way you used to when you sat on the window-sill in Temple Camp office and jollied Margaret Ellison.

I don't care whether he does things like that or not.
"It's not that; it's because I don't wish to be laughed at and jollied." "Which is a confession of weakness. Let them laugh; in the end, if you stick to your good resolutions, they will stop laughing and learn to respect you." "Perhaps that's right; but I've seen some mighty mean, narrow, contracted men who never drank, never smoked, and never swore.
Dravo and I rode one day to the Mormon settlement, seventeen miles away, on some business with the bishop, and a Mormon woman gave us a lunch of fried salt pork, potatoes, bread, and milk. How good it tasted, after our long ride! and how we laughed about it all, and jollied, after the fashion of young people, all the way back to the post!
Porrfeeus dil Noort wur th' firrust man Oi ivver saw that made me fale as if bullets wouldn't kill him an' kape him dead. Wur he to roize before me this minute nivver a bit surphrised would Oi be." Although Merry jollied the Irishman, it was no easy matter to relieve O'Toole's nervousness.
