I don't mind sayin', too, it ain't one long May-day festival, this bein' buried alive with Aunt Nutty." "Meanin' Mrs. Bagstock?" says I. She nods. "One of Dick's little cracks," says she. "Her real name is Natalie." I expect my ears did a reg'lar rabbit motion at that. So this was the one? Well, I'd got to have a look at her! "Eh?" says I. "Did you say Natalie?"
"Well, the men look at their watches, and say they are in a hurry, and must be off for their counting-houses like wink, so they bolt. What a wonder it is the English common people call the stomach a bread-basket, for it has no meanin' there. They should have called it a meat-tray, for they are the boys for beef and mutton. But with us it's the identical thing.
"That's a cert, Cap'n Hocken, an' your hat put me in mind of it." "Oh, 'tis my hat you're meanin'? What's wrong with it?" "Did I say there was anything wrong? No, I didn't God forbid! An' no doubt," concluded Mr Philp cheerfully, "the fashions'll work round to it again." "I'll change it for another." "You won't find that too easy, will you?"
"Now I want to know the meanin' o' this," sez she, "an' I want the full truth. This is nice doin's over a game o' cards. I wish I had thought to set up a bar, so you'd all felt a little more at home. What's it about?" We didn't none of us seem to have a great deal to say, but just stood there lookin' foolish.
Colonel Gansevoort asked, with no slight tinge of impatience in his tone, as if he did not care to hear the old soldier summing up all the situation. "Meanin' that we are runnin' no greater risks in goin' back to General Herkimer, or at least not many more, than by tryin' to gain admission to the fort."
"Meanin' that there letter 'bout her brother bein' dead?" asked Judy, shrewdly. "Yes." "What you-all got ter know for?" "Because " Brian could not finish. Judy's beady eyes were watching him intently, now. "Hit looks like you-all ain't a-needin' me ter tell you-all anythin'," she observed dryly. "Then Auntie Sue did send money?" "She sure did.
"Dat as a body understand 'em. Accordin' to some rule, Stephen Spike not a werry honest man; but accordin' to 'nudder some, he as good as any body else." "Yes, dat just be upshot of de matter," put in Simon, approvingly. "De whole case lie in dat meanin'."

"It's not Campbell of Glenlyon, it's your grandfather I am anxious about," said Mrs Courthope. "Nor is it only Campbell of Glenlyon he's so fierce against, but all his posterity as well." "They dinna exist, mem.

"That you, Jack?" he said. "Well, you wouldn't be so ready to call this bloke 'mate' if you knew what he'd been up to." "The swine!" commented Charley. "Get a lantern," commanded Mills to the Kafirs.
There won't be any child's play in tryin' to get from the fort to where we can find the first show of cover." "Meanin' that you're not willin' to make the venture?"
