At first I felt it must be that she had said something to change him toward me, but again I told myself that that was a silly and far-fetched suspicion. It was more likely that he disapproved of my "larking" with the American boys and giving them a glove to divide in bits. Afterward, too, when they turned up at our hotel, he might easily have thought I'd encouraged them to follow us again.
And then you must listen well, and keep in mind all that your teacher says; and if anyone tries to entice you into playing and larking behind his back, don't do it. And remember that you've got a pocket-handkerchief, and don't use your fingers, for that isn't polite. If there's no one to see you, you can save the handkerchief, of course, and then it'll last all the longer.
John Larking , at their residence "The Sycamores," but he slept in an outhouse in order the better to delude the servants. He read the Koran sedulously, howled his prayers with a local shaykh who imparted to him the niceties of the faith, purified himself, made an ostentatious display of piety, and gave out that he was a hakim or doctor preparing to be a dervish.
He cherished, deep hidden in him, the dreams and illusions that long contact with the world is likely to dispel. At New Haven and Cambridge lads of his age were larking beneath the elms and playing childish pranks on each other. West drove the team. Tom either broke trail or followed. He came across plenty of tracks, but most of them were old ones.
She was an innocent appearing little thing, and although she was just out of college, I believed she would faint at the idea of a cigarette in a girl's fingers or any of the mad things college girls are supposed to do when larking. She had no sense of humour, and I simply could not think of her as up to any mischief. That is why, when she said she had fallen in love with me, I believed her.
Ben walked up to a little bank that, having lain in the sun all day, was warm and dry, and stretched himself out. Ann was too big to go "larking" about with the girls, so she and Hanny, and one or two others, sat down on the soft, sunburned turf. How beautiful it all was! The sun was going down behind the New Jersey hills.
If Browning had written the passage which opens The Princess, descriptive of the "larking" of the villagers in the magnate's park, he would have spared us nothing; he would not have spared us the shrill uneducated voices and the unburied bottles of ginger beer.
Lord Donald's proceedings in the matter of Lady Preston evidently seemed to him she had been made to feel it frankly abominable. And he was not going to ask the man capable of them within his own doors. Well and good. "But as I don't agree with him Donald was only larking! I shall take my own way. A telegram goes anyway to Donald to-morrow morning and we shall see. So good-night, Cousin Philip!"
You shall pay for this!" And the woman's only reply was, to say: "Cuckold! Cuckold! Cuckold!" When she was tired of larking, her hatred was not yet satisfied, and she said to the brigadier: "Fernand, go to the kennels and shoot the five other brutes; otherwise he will make them kill me to-morrow. Off you go, old fellow!" The brigadier obeyed, and immediately five shots were heard in the darkness.
Or, third and last, I'll signal that man-of-war and send you ashore under arrest for mutiny." "And, of course, I wouldn't blow the gaff? O no!" replied the jeering Huish. "And who's to believe you, my son?" inquired the captain. "No, sir! There ain't no larking about my captainising. Enough said. Up with these blankets."
