B., who insisted on helping it, gave all the green lumps of fat to her husband, and put several slices of the breast of the bird under the body, until it came to his turn to be helped. "I'm a plain man," says John, "and eat a plain dinner. I hate your kickshaws, though I keep a French cook for those who are not of my way of thinking.
"Didn't imagine you'd got the grit. You know I'm not the chap to be let down easy. We'll go through with it, then, and take all chances! It's my game right along. Every copper I've got went to pay the bearers here and to buy the kickshaws and rum for old What's-his-name, and I'm not anxious to start again as a pauper. We'll stay here till we get our concessions, or till they bury us, then!
Well, then, there lived Monsieur Poopoo ever since he came from "dear, delightful Paris," as he was wont to call the city of his nativity there he took in the pennies for his kickshaws there he laid aside five thousand dollars against a rainy day there he was as happy as a lark and there, in all human probability, he would have been to this very day, a respected and substantial citizen, had he been willing to "let well alone."
"And greenhouses and sunken gardens and pergolas and kickshaws," said I. "But seriously, Polly, I think that we can show value for all that we have spent; and the whole amount is not three times what our city house cost, and that only covered our heads." "How do you figure values here?" "We get a great deal more than simply shelter out of this place, and we have tangible values, too.
We wanted the good there was in it, and nothing else; but as a secondary consideration I wished to prove that it can be made to pay well, even though one-third of the money expended goes for comforts and kickshaws. It is not necessary to spend so much on a five-hundred-acre farm, and a factory farm need not contain so many acres.
At sight of these kickshaws a dismal suspicion entered Mahony's mind, and refused to be dislodged. But he did not breathe his doubts for Polly's sake. Polly was rapturously content to see her brother again.
The virgin at Hodges Figgis' window on Monday looking in for one of the alphabet books you were going to write. Keen glance you gave her. Wrist through the braided jesse of her sunshade. She lives in Leeson park with a grief and kickshaws, a lady of letters. Talk that to someone else, Stevie: a pickmeup.
"How, lass?" saith he. "Where dost thou think thou art? Thou art in thy true love's arms," saith he. "Ay, there is heaven," she saith. And I stole away to get th' babe some kickshaws i' th' village, that they twain might be alone together. Well, well, all that was two year ago, comrade two year ago; and now that lass o' mine hath a babe o' her own, and as valiant a rogue as ever bellowed.
The butler ran over an appetizing list of good dishes and rare wines. "The devil take your kickshaws!" said Geoffrey. "Give me my old ale, and my hunk of bread and cheese." "Where will you take them, Sir?" "Here, to be sure! And the sooner the better." The butler issued the necessary orders with all needful alacrity.
"Well, boy, something must be done about you, that's certain," said Mr. Faringfield. "You have no money, my daughter says. Spent all you had for cakes and kickshaws in the towns where the stage-coach stopped, I'll warrant." The boy smiled. "The riding made me hungry sir," said he. "I'd have saved my extra shilling if I'd known how it was going to be."
