There never came a day when he was not thankful for the soft comfort of his chair. There never came a day when he was the same Old Man who joshed the boys and scolded them and threatened them. The day was always coming of course! when his back would quit aching if he walked to the stable and back without a long rest between, but it never actually arrived.
Course, he'll be joshed a lot about it, but that'll mean he'll either have to be a good scrapper or develop an easy-grin disposition, so he wins both ways." The only really disappointed member of the fam'ly is Vee's Auntie. Last time she was out here she notices the change in 'Ikky-boy's curls and sighs over it.
"I guess Bert an' the rest have joshed me all the time," he said. "You and I get along together with it fine," she equivocated; for in such matters she did not deem the untruth a wrong. Spring was on when the strike came in the railroad shops. The Sunday before it was called, Saxon and Billy had dinner at Bert's house.
Humble when you get home, of course. "Well, I handed her the $500, which she pitched into her desk drawer without counting. I put Bill's appointment in my pocket and me and Andy made our adieus. "We started back for the Territory the same day. We wired Bill: 'Job landed; get the tall glasses ready, and we felt pretty good. "Andy joshed me all the way about how little I knew about women.
They joshed Bud, who grinned and took it good-naturedly, and found another five dollars in his pocket to bet this time with Pop, who kept eyeing him sharply and it seemed to Bud warningly. But Bud wanted to play his own game, this time, and he avoided Pop's eyes.
"Those New York boys have joshed that whole bunch so they're afraid to say their prayers out loud. Then she's English and dead swell, and that combination's hard to open, unless you have a number in the Four Hundred, and then it ain't refined to try. I can make a pass at her, but it'll be a frost for me." "Nonsense!
"Say, Honey," Billy began. The other four men were far ahead, but Billy kept his voice low. Do you remember that dream you had about the big bird the time we joshed you so? "Sure do I," Honey said cheerfully. "Only remember one thing, Billy. That wasn't a dream any more than this is." "All right," Billy exclaimed. "You don't have to show me. A funny thing happened to me last night.
I'll bet it's a fake, pure and simple." "He couldn't expect to work one on us." "Why not? The time the Mandolin Club went North with the Berkeley Glee somebody played the same blooming game. It worked all right then and they joshed the life out of the leader, too. I heard Shirlock tell about it." The Freshman should never have allowed himself to go to sleep so easily.
Perkins, who led the Mandolin Club, joshed him at dinner. "What's the matter, my boy; didn't you have a good time this afternoon?" "Of course he didn't," answered a guitar man. "You must have noticed his bored expression all through; that is, when you saw him at all." "That was merely the blasé look that comes with four months at the Youngest and Best," said "Cap." Smith.
As we sat and ate, we joshed each other, and the Esquimo boys joined in the good-natured raillery. The meal did not detain us long, and soon we were pushing on again as quickly as possible over the level ice, fearing that if we delayed the condition of the ice would change, for changes come suddenly, and frequently without warning.
