Ed says I may be his book-keeper, if I am ready when he starts for himself. That is much jollier than grinding away for four years, and then having to grind ever so many more at a profession," said Jack, examining with interest the various knocks and bruises with which much ball-playing had adorned his hands. "Much you know about it.
From all which causes, this half-year at Saint Winifreds was the most turbulent, the most riotous, and the most unhappy, ever known in that honourable and ancient school. So little Charlie Evson soon found reason to revise and modify his opinion, that Saint Winifred's as he then saw it was jollier than even Semlyn itself.
I've had no coming-out like other girls." "That's why you are so much jollier than most of them," said Paul, betrayed into a compliment. From the moment they entered the drive-gate, and began the ascent to the house, Sally looked about her with eager interest, breaking into exclamations of delight as each step revealed some fresh beauty to her eyes.
"Wouldn't it be fun if we could find out about it?" said Blanche excitedly. "Yes. But how could you be there in the middle of the night? I might go and look some night." "Not by yourself; you couldn't. Besides, it would be much jollier to be together. It would be so exciting finding out what it is, and so romantic.
"You're the best sort of jollier, Tom," he observed. "You know how to talk to a fellow who's quivering all over with eagerness and dread. What if something happens to hold up those notices until it's too late for even Colin's big bomber to catch up with the steamer?" "You're only borrowing trouble when you allow yourself to fear that," was the reply.
"You think of everything, old boy. Sorry I haven't been a jollier companion to-night." They parted the next morning, Charteris riding out to take up again the nomadic life and open-air work that he loved, while Gerrard remained to begin his irksome task of trying to induce the Regents, the Durbar, the army and the citizens to lay aside their differences and aim at the common good.
"It is nice to have visitors, and to have plenty of people to do your work, but it is a hundred times jollier for just us two to be here by ourselves. Don't you think so, Ralph?" And, without waiting for her brother's answer, she went on. "You see, we can do whatever we please. We can be as free as anything as free as cats. Here, puss, puss," she called to the gray barn cat in the yard below.
He's good at reserve, but no good at lies, poor old dear, and just think of all the straight questions she'll ask him! It'll be torture to both of them. Poor Milly! I've no patience with her.

They made a bluff at it once. I was down at Newport News, been doing a job for the C.&O., and Fred Brown was down that way on business. He " "What does Brown look like?" interrupted Peterson. "I never saw him." "You didn't! Oh, he's a good-looking young chap. Dresses kind of sporty. He's a great jollier. You have to know him a while to find out that he means business.
I wonder why tears are trying to come as I write about it. There was never a better meal, or a jollier one never a happier, healthier family. A shower came up and settled into a gentle rain.
