You know you would," sez I, "you are actin' like a luny, Josiah Allen." "It is you that are actin' like a luny," sez he bitterly. "I never propose anything of a high fashionable kind but what you want to break it up.
Bunting told you I'd got to question a barmaid about a man who was in her place just before closing-time. Well, she's said all she knew, and it's as clear as daylight to me that the eccentric old gent she talks about was only a harmless luny. He gave her a sovereign just because she told him she was a teetotaller!" He laughed ruefully. Even Bunting was diverted at the notion.
"For all his cranky ways he knaws Blanchard better'n most of us, an' I heard un size up the chap t'other day in a word. He said he hadn't wit enough to keep his brains sweet."

I'm glad I ain't in Mis' Dick's shoes!" Miss Crilly emerged from the folds of Miss Sterling's petticoats. She brushed back her disordered hair and drew a long, laughing sigh. "Isn't it lovely they've found out! I b'lieve I'd have been luny myself in a little while if they hadn't!" "Nonsense!" pooh-poohed Mrs. Albright. "You couldn't stay luny more'n half a twinkle!

When I see you prancin' round under the winder with that there saddle, I says at once to Martha, 'Martha, here's a luny!" "A very natural conclusion," said Lynde meekly. "Wasn't it now?" "And if you had shot me to death," said Lynde, helping himself to another chop, "I should have been very much obliged to you." Mr.
I told Josiah I hoped my vision would come true, and they would make an open park of Dreamland, so the millions who visit Coney Island could git a good look at Mom Nater and old Ocean.
