It's that rather old dog-goned ring o' yours that's bin in all the papers. She's bamboozled that sap-headed county judge, Boompointer, into givin' it to her. Take my advice and sling it away for some other feller to pick up and get looney over. That's all!" "Did she say anything?" asked Cass, anxiously, as he received his lost treasure somewhat coldly. "Well, yes! I reckon.
"You ain't so looney after all. Dad, he's right! He shan't gin it up, but we'll go halves in it, he and me. He'll be father and I'll be mother 'til death do us part, or the reg'lar family turns up. Well what do you say?" More pleased than he dared confess to himself with the praise of this common girl, Mr. James North assented. Then would he see the baby?
Looney Biddle so-called by an affectionately admiring public as the result of certain marked eccentricities was beyond dispute the greatest left-handed pitcher New York had possessed in the last decade. But there was one blot on Mr. Biddle's otherwise stainless scutcheon. Five weeks before, on the occasion of the Giants' invasion of Pittsburg, he had gone mysteriously to pieces.
Grindle to give his name to the 'Westminster Magazine. When Bacon brought out his comic Irish novel of 'Barney Brallaghan, off went Bungay to Dublin, and produced his rollicking Hibernian story of 'Looney MacTwolter. When Doctor Hicks brought out his 'Wanderings in Mesopotamia' under Bacon's auspices, Bungay produced Professor Sandiman's 'Researches in Zahara; and Bungay is publishing his 'Pall Mall Gazette' as a counterpoise to Bacon's 'Whitehall Review. Let us go and hear about the 'Gazette. There may be a place for you in it, Pen, my boy.
"Looks as if it 'ad ought to be," she answered, with a smile, for she avoided unnecessary difficulties. It was her duty to act as mother to the children in the probation ward, and she had already mothered about five thousand. "Well, Looney," Clem went on as soon as she had gone, "I'll give you a fair run for your money.
When the woman had wiped the tears from a pair of very frank blue eyes, and hidden two rows of very strong white teeth again, she said: "Look yar! You're that looney sort a' chap that lives alone over on the spit yonder, ain't ye?" North hastened to admit all that the statement might imply. "And so ye've had a baby left ye to keep you company? Lordy!"
“He may be lo-coed,” whispered Pete to me as we took our places at the table, “but I’ll tell the folks, he is a master looney alright. He knows how to make Injuns love him and varmints fear him, he kin pack all his duffle in my bag, he need not cough up eny money when he’s with me.
They used to make faces at me when nobody was looking, and call me "Looney." Everybody called me Looney Tom. And the other boys in the neighbourhood threw rocks at me. You never see anything like that in the Home here. The feebs are better behaved. Mrs. Bopp used to pinch me and pull my hair when she thought I was too slow, and I only made foolish noises and went slower.
So up we went past Bee Rock, Preacher's Creek and Little Looney, past the mines where high on a "tipple" stood the young engineer looking down at us, and looking after the Blight as we passed on into a dim rocky avenue walled on each side with rhododendrons. I waved at him and shook my head we would see him coming back. Beyond a deserted log-cabin we turned up a spur of the mountain.
Looney Land doesn't mean anything that I know of except the moon seems to set over there. But one thing I do know," and he made this very plain, "it's a good place for girls to keep away from." Grace and Cleo exchanged glances. It occurred to each that the forbidden land was very apt to become attractive, but neither said so, nor asked how Looney Land was to be reached.
