He could not see her because it was so dangerous for him to look round, but he could imagine her indignant and pitiless. He felt an unspeakable idiot. One had to be so careful what one said to Young Ladies, and he'd gone and treated her just as though she was only a Larky Girl. It was unforgivable. He always WAS a fool. You could tell from her manner she didn't think him a gentleman.

The rifle, it was explained, never left his hand when he was abroad: they said that a feud was brewing "over on 'Larky," and that this man was "in the bilin'." Well, it boiled over, and the person in question killed two men in front of his own door. When the prisoner was brought into court I could not recognize him.

"I intend to ride like the devil, Sara," he said; "and I wish you could come with me. What rides we used to have long ago! You were a larky little thing in those days, darling!" He bent down and kissed her lips. "You shall marry me or no one," said he; "but you are cold: you are not very nice to me. I suppose it's your way. You wouldn't be yourself if you were like other women.

However, Molly didn't weigh very much, and she had the scrambling ability of a cat, so in a few seconds she was down on the ground, and embracing the two Maynard girls both at once. "You're perfect ducks to come over here so early! How did you get away?" "Slid out the back door," said Marjorie; "isn't it larky to be around so early in the morning?" "Perfectly fine!

"I don't believe in making oneself too free with people." "Nor me," said Mr. Polly. "I may be a bit larky and cheerful in my manner," Annie admitted. "But it don't mean anything. I ain't that sort." "Right O," said Mr. Polly.

Though this kind of brigandage still survives, it is no longer common, especially in the neighbourhood of Poona, with its large police force. My own impression was that some larky young fellows from the next village, which was noted for its rowdiness, were trying to create a scare for the sake of a joke.

Charlie's looks are all right, but he ain't over and above steady, and Ben is steady, but he ain't much to look at." "What does your 'art say?" inquired the sentimental Mr. Dowson. Neither lady took the slightest notice. "Charlie Foss is too larky," said Mrs. Dowson, solemnly; "it's easy come and easy go with 'im. He's just such another as your father's cousin Bill and look what 'appened to him!"

"Quiet there, boys," said the sergeant-major. "And no larks." It was not a larky kind of place or time. There was no moon, and a light drizzle of rain fell.

When returning homewards, however, their society was by no means so pleasant; it was noisy, and 'larky, besides being addicted to the dullest practical jokes, such as peppering beds. On board Senegal each sat at meat with his glass of Adam's ale by his plate-side, looking prim, and grave, and precise as persons at a christening who are not in the habit of frequenting christenings.
