Keeping the guns pointed at us, they walked round very carefully, and felt our cords to see that they were all right; and finding they were, went back into the next room, savage and rather scared. Our larfing made them terribly uneasy, I could see; and they had an idea we couldn't have larfed like that if we hadn't some idea of getting away.
Paul's or Hyde Park or Shovel! he couldn't help laughing at Thrums, he couldn't Larfing, he said at first, but in a short time his Scotch was better than theirs, though less unconscious. His English was better also, of course, and you had to speak in a kind of English when inside the Hanky School; you got your revenge at "minutes."
Chaps like you have all the luck; but as soon as I get out of this, I'll be passed fit for active service ... and not so much of your larfing at not being dead. See?" "All right, mate," said Doggie. "Good night." Penworthy made no immediate reply; but presently he broke out: "What d'you mean by talking like that? I'd hate being dead."
"'What's the matter? ses the skipper, who just came up. "'This man has seen the sea-sarpint, sir, that's all, ses the mate. "'Y-y-yes, said Sam, with a sort o' sob. "'Well, there ain't much doing just now, ses the skipper, 'so you'd better get a slice o' bread and feed it. "The mate bust out larfing, an' I could see by the way the skipper smiled he was rather tickled at it himself.
"No, sir," said the cook, respectfully, "it does make 'em larf, don't it, sir, though I can't see wot they're larfing at any more than wot you can."
"'Do go away, and don't talk nonsense, she said, larfing; and when she larfed den I know she was pleased. "'So clams mind me of chickens. "'And whiskey, she said. "'Well, it do, Missus; dat are a fac; and I helped myself agin dis way." "Sorrow," said I, "this is too bad; go forward now and cut this foolery short. You will be too drunk to cook the dinner if you go on that way." Yah, yah, yah.
Deborah Bangs, a young girl, in 1755 paid a fine of five shillings for "Larfing in the Wareham Meeting House in time of Public Worship," and a boy at the same time, for the same offence, paid a fine of ten shillings. He may have laughed louder and longer.
Gwen went on: "'It is the Man in High Park at the Turpentine Micky' some illegible name 'knew and that is Michael in the corner larfing at the Spolice. The Man has got out of sprizzing and the Spolice will not cop him. There was no room for Michael Somebody, and he hasn't worked out well," said Gwen, turning the image of Michael several ways up, to determine its components.
"The skipper an' the mate was still larfing very hearty when we heard a dreadful 'owl from the bridge, an' one o' the chaps suddenly leaves the wheel, jumps on to the deck, and bolts below as though he was mad. T'other one follows 'm a'most d'reckly, and the second mate caught hold o' the wheel as he left it, and called out something we couldn't catch to the skipper.
