So now I've made up my mind to do her good by stealth. I'm going to steal her snake." "Steal it? Pinch it, as it were?" "Yes. Big story for the papers, you see. She's grown very much attached to Peter. He's her mascot. I believe she's practically kidded herself into believing that Russian prince story. If I can sneak it away and keep it away for a day or two, she'll do the rest.
I'm certainly glad I kidded that old widow into thinking she's puhfectly stunning with her hair hennaed. She don't trust anybody but me to touch it up. And she's good for a scalp and facial and manicure every week of her life, besides getting her hair dressed every Saturday anyway, and sometimes oftener when she's going out. And she always has a marcelle after a shampoo.
"Funny thing," said Bean. "Chap down in the office with me, worth about a hundred million if he's worth a cent, wears separate cuffs; fastens 'em on with those nickel jiggers." "Had a fellow on the team last year did the same thing," said the Pitcher. "He's back to the bush now, though. The hick used to wear a made-up neck tie, too, till the other lads kidded him out of it."
Father had him kidded into believing that all the old ham-fat Riddles were simply Immense. As for that Salad Specialty, the poor Gink who calls loudly for English Mustard and thinks he is a Genius because he can rub a Bowl with a sprig of Garlic, may have his brief Hour of Triumph, but no man ever really got anywhere by doping Salad, when you stop to add it all up.
Course she feels it, being left alone here all evening." But he forgot his warning as she went on: "Why do you go out and see all sorts of strange people? I suppose you'll say you've been to another committee-meeting this evening!" "Nope. I've been calling on a woman. We sat by the fire and kidded each other and had a whale of a good time, if you want to know!"
Myrtle Cass says she met him at a dance, and he was mooning around all over the place, and he asked her did she like flowers and poetry and music and everything; he spieled like he was a regular United States Senator; and Myrtle she's a devil, that girl, ha! ha! she kidded him along, and got him going, and honest, what d'you think he said?
"Seventy-five thousand is the limit; but satisfy yourself she's worth the limit before you go to it." "And Redell is going to bid forty thousand, sir?" "That's his limit. He told me so in confidence when he felt certain I couldn't possibly be a competitor told it to me, and kidded me for a dead one at twenty minutes of one, when he knew I couldn't possibly have time to act.
He swung his legs off the seat, and groped for the door. "Hang on to this dug-out, you men," he said, "and I'll get a fourth. I kidded some fellows of ours with that notice just now, but I know them, and I can get a decent chap to come in." He was gone a few minutes only; then voices sounded outside. "Been looking for you, old dear," said their friend.
He's no wise guy. And one thing, Jeff, he's as innocent as a cup custard, so you'll have to keep that bunch of Buckeye roughnecks from riding him. I can tell you that much. Once they started kidding him, it would be all off." "And, besides " She hesitated briefly. "Somehow I don't want him kidded.
Henry, you may remember, delivered the Roosevelt valedictory at the Chicago Republican convention in 1912, when he kidded the standpat crowd out of every Republican state in the union but two at the election. Possibly you don't like that word kid. But it's in the dictionary, and there's no other word to describe Henry's talent. He is always jamming the allegro into the adagio.
