"Fwazznoid," interrupted Atmananda loudly. " and Puzzles has been with us for three years," continued the guide, trying to ignore the man monkeying around with the four laughing hyenas. One time during our first few weeks in California, Atmananda saw me standing on a wall in the yard. He later told me that he had seen me fly. "Really?" I said. "Yes," he replied.
"What is it?" asked his chum, Crowding into the booth. "Look at that plate! Tell me what you see!" Ned looked. "Why why it's Koku's picture!" he gasped. "Exactly!" cried Tom. "In some way my experiment has succeeded when I was away. Eradicate must have made some new connection by his monkeying. Ned, it's a success! I've got my first photo telephone picture! Hurray!"
"It's the bitters that does the trick," he was saying, but saw me and called out: "You ought to have been with us and seen Jode. I showed him the telegram, you know. He read it through, and just handed it back to me, and went on monkeying with his anemometer. Ever seen his instruments? Every fresh jigger they get out he sends for.
"For sand that isn't quicksand," he said, "this layout will stand about as little monkeying with as any sand I ever met up with. Time we make a few trips over it, she's going to be pudding without the raisins. And that's a picnic, with our rig on the main deck, as you might say."
"Yes, she is or was as good as, till you came; but you listen to me. As God hears me up there" he raised his shaking hand and pointed up to the moonlit sky, and then went on, chewing on his words like a dog on a bone "I'll cut the heart out of your body if I catch you monkeying round that girl again. You've got to get out of here! Everything was all right till you came sneaking in.
I have had diets handed to me that would starve a humming-bird, and diets that would put flesh on a bronze statue; and all to the same end reduction. Science has been monkeying with nourishment for the past ten or fifteen years to the exclusion of many other branches of research; and about all that has happened to the nourishment is the large elimination of nutriment from it.
But the Honorable Erastus had no intention of "taking chances," or "monkeying with fate," as he tersely expressed it. Every scheme known to politicians must be worked, and none knew the intricate game better than Hopkins. This was why he held several long conferences with his friend Marshall, the manager at the mill.
Any man who is fool enough to go monkeying about with Madame Ypsilante's teeth you've seen her, I suppose." "Oh, yes. Several times." "Well then you can guess the sort of woman she is. And anyone who had ever looked at her eyes would know. I'd just as soon twist a tiger's tail as try to drill a hole in one of Madame Ypsilante's teeth. Scarsby must have known there'd be trouble."
In a week, look here, Scarecrow Charlie left his eating-place to go monkeying with powder like the others, and disn't he get a bolt of iron through his brain one morning? Oh, it's very much as if some one had pushed a broom-handle through his skull. That dark woman from Regina was not dismayed. She ran the eating-place herself.
"No, and I doubt you sent it. But I want it at once, and no more monkeying." "Well, I sent it. I mailed it to your office. You've overlooked it." "Come over to my office now and make it out," McQuade insisted. "You've got plenty of grips on me without that," protested Morrissy reproachfully. "But I want this one, and I'm going to have it." "I'll go to your office. Will Donnelly be game?"
