"I dare say that hussy there gave him a shove," remarked Mademoiselle Saget, pointing to Cadine, who was weeping. "They are always larking together." Meantime the fresh air had restored Marjolin to consciousness, and he opened his eyes in wide astonishment.
In fact, winter, like some great calamity, changes the status of most creatures and sets them adrift. Winter, like poverty, makes us acquainted with strange bedfellows. For my part, my nearest approach to a strange bedfellow is the little gray rabbit that has taken up her abode under my study floor. As she spends the day here and is out larking at night, she is not much of a bedfellow after all.
As our stay was therefore likely to be ten days or a fortnight at the shortest, the boats were hoisted out, and we made our little arrangements and preparations for taking all the recreation in our power; and our worthy skipper, taught and stiff as he was at sea, always encouraged all kinds of fun and larking, both amongst the men and the officers, on occasions like the present.
Pepper's little 'orse, I suppose, sir?" he said, addressing himself to the young Squire. "Certainly, I told Larking I would." "Exactly, Mr. Newton. And Banker might as well go out as second." "I said Brewer. Banker was out on Friday." "That won't be no odds, Mr. Newton. The fact is. Brewer's legs is a little puffed." "All right," said the Squire.
Nay, it may occur that after forty years of incessant labour, in answer to an inquiry as to where the genuine conscious fun comes in, he has the right only to answer: "Well, when I have time, I take the dog out for a walk. I enjoy larking with the dog." The estimable plain man, with his horror of self-examination, is apt to forget the immediate end of existence in the means.
I shall go on with my natural history even when I grow a man, and have to drive round like father does, giving people stuff. It gives you something to think about." "Yes, it gives you something to think about," I said merrily. "I always get thinking about these." "I say: don't," cried Mercer; "you've upset my owl on to that blackbird. I wish you wouldn't be so fond of larking."
The pity is that our brains have a way of 'wandering, as it is politely called. Brain-wandering is indeed now recognised as a specific disease. I wonder what you, O business man with an office in Ludgate Circus, would say to your office-boy, whom you had dispatched on an urgent message to Westminster, and whom you found larking around Euston Station when you rushed to catch your week-end train.
Useless for solemn experts to point out that he had simply been larking for the gallery, and that the result was a shocking fluke Callear's reputation was established. He became at once the idol of the populace. As Denry walked gingerly off the field to the grand stand he, too, was loudly cheered, and he could not help feeling that, somehow, it was he who had scored that goal.
"We came suddenly one day upon a party in a kind of Cheap-Jack van," she wrote, "gayly-dressed people, tricked off in smart finery, and larking like a lot of Ramsgate tradesmen on the public road. One of the impudent creatures made a trumpet of his great ugly fist and spelt out the name of the hotel at which they were stopping, and then put his hand to his ear, as if to listen for the response.
We were larking round the fountain, trying to push each other in, and I cut my hand on one of those rotten old pipes. Beastly luck! But Fanning's done everything. I shall be all right directly. There's a little bone broken." "A bone broken! your hand!" ejaculated Sorell, who sat down and looked at him in dismay. "Yes I wish it had been my foot! But it doesn't matter.
