Good God! sometimes I don't know what I'm doing. "It isn't fair on us. It isn't fair." "It isn't fair on me," she said. "I'm jumpy when I'm kept back. You don't know what it's like, Jimmy. Don't turn me back." And the poor child began to talk about her duty to the wounded, and that made him burst out again. "The wounded?
Actually, I believe language experts are trying to find out something about their language, but they feel like it's enmity. They're jumpy." "And with reason," said Soames. He stirred. "I'm disappointed. I'll go talk to the people who're hunting Fran. Walk back with me to the store, Gail?" Gail rose. Zani stared at Soames. She was pale. He nodded to her again.
"Let me ride him a ways. I'd like to feel a real horse to get the taste of this kangaroo out of my system." I could see he was jumpy, so I thought I'd humour him. "Swing on all at once and you're all right," I advised him. "Tiger don't like fumbling in getting aboard." He grunted scornfully. "Those stirrups are longer than the ones you've been using. Want to shorten them?"
I wanted to laugh and cry, and when I saw myself in the glass, I couldn't believe that I wasn't a little shivering girl with a ribbon in my hair and white socks." Some one whistled outside. The girl seized the boy's arm in a sudden panic of fright. "It's all right," he said. "It's only the gardener going to his cottage." Joan laughed, and her grip relaxed. "I'm jumpy," she said.
I whispered as I squatted down. "What is that on the grave?" 'Juggins hauled out his six-shooter with a tug, and, looking at his face, I saw, what I had not noticed before, that he too was a trifle jumpy, though why I cannot say. He squatted down quietly enough by my side, and pressed up against me, a bit closer, I fancied, than he would have thought necessary at any other time.
He fussed about me with a nervous hospitality, talking in jumpy fragments, rubbing his hands together, and taking peeps at me over and round his glasses. As I sat down in his leather-covered armchair, I had an odd memory of the one in the Clayton dentist's operating-room I know not why. "They're going to give us trouble in the North Sea, it seems," he remarked with a sort of innocent zest.
And by the time they did want to, having got jumpy in the course of months of uninterrupted herding together, it will be time for them to go for holidays again, back to the blessed country to be soothed and healed. And each year we shall grow wiser, each year more grown-up, less like naughty children, nearer to God. All we want is time, time to think and understand. I feel religious now.
Supper was a jumpy meal, and nobody had much to say, Allie Briskow least of all. She was silent, intense; she curtly refused Buddy's offer to send her home, and when the meal was over she followed Gray back to the derrick. He was on edge, of course.
Beresford on edge of proposeing. Sis very jumpy. LATER: Jane Raleigh is home for her couzin's wedding! Is coming over. We shall take a walk, as I have much to tell her. 6 P. M. What an afternoon! How shall I write it? This is a Milestone in my Life. I have met him at last. Nay, more. I have been in his dressing room, conversing as though acustomed to such things all my life.
Taken a dislike to the here, Alf, is this a game?" "Not at all," Burton answered quietly. "It is the truth. It is one of those matters, I suppose," he continued, "which principally concern oneself." "No need to get jumpy about it," Mr. Miles remarked, still a little dazed. "Come in and have some farthing nap with the boys. They won't recognize you in that get-up. We'll have a lark with them."
