But Dick, half stripped above the waist, was at the washstand, making a thorough toilet, though a hurried one. Greg waited, his eyes shining. "It's mighty good of you all," cried Dick, as he was pulling on his cadet overcoat. "I wish I could stop and talk about it -but there a duties that can't be hurried fast enough." "Give my regards," called Holmes jovially after Prescott.
"I'll stake you a dollar," he said. "Two from me," I heard myself saying, and I saw my hand depositing them. "You're all on this gentleman's card, remember?" We nodded. The bearded man tipped me a wink. "You, sir, then, turn the queen if you can," the gambler challenged of Jim. With quick movement Jim flopped the bent-corner card, and the queen herself seemed to wink jovially at us.
When he strode into the office again, keen and springy as though his work had just begun, Hilda looked up and smiled a little. Pete was tilted back in the chair staring glumly out of the window. He did not turn until Bannon slapped him jovially on the shoulders and told him to cheer up. "Those railroad chaps are laying for us, sure enough," he said.
Not one of those at the supper table had noticed this curious and silent manoeuvre, but when the stranger finally closed the door of the coffee-room behind him, they all instinctively sighed a sigh of relief. "Alone, at last!" said Lord Antony, jovially.
Mostly he was jovially cheerful, and his wife likewise. The North had emancipated them, and they were loyal to the source of their deliverance.

Twice now it had rescued her from herself.
And it might be years before she would be called upon to play hostess in such a way as this again. She sighed and unbraided her hair. At that moment there sounded a knock upon her door. She ran to open it to her father. "Here you are, Frances," said the old ranchman, jovially. "Never mind if Lon hasn't got here yet; I've gone deeper into the treasure chest.
"Don't want to match? Then I suppose I've got to fight you for him," sighed the editor. The big man laughed whole-heartedly. "Not a chance, my friend! Not a chance on earth. I don't believe even a woman could come between Hal and me, let alone a man." "Or a principle?" "Ah ah! Dealing in abstractions again. Look out for this fellow, Boyee," he called jovially as Hal came back to his desk.

Did I recall him? This touched me. "What's the idea?" I inquired jovially, laughing at him. "I wished to give them to you, and I brought 'em. Why shouldn't I?"
Hall greeted him jovially enough, but Gorman and Watson scowled as they grunted curt good mornings. A moment afterward one of the Kanakas, as he bent to place his oar, favoured Grief with a slow, deliberate wink. The man's face was familiar, one of the thousands of native sailors and divers he had encountered drifting about in the island trade. "Don't tell them who I am," Grief said, in Tahitian.
He had a nose that showed only too plainly why he was in trouble, and a most unmistakably English voice. But he'd taken the trouble to learn some Scots words, though the accent was far ayant him.
