"You don't want to run your horse down in the first ten miles, Ellis; we'll make time by taking it easy at first, and you'll get there just as soon." I knew he was right about it, and pulled Shylock down to the steady lope that was his natural gait. It was hard, though, to just "mosey" along as if we were starting out to kill time and earn our daily wage in the easiest possible manner.
I am benighted, and conclude to make the best of it by "turning in" under a hay-cock; but the Fox River mosquitoes oust me in short order, and compel me to "mosey along" through the gloomy night to Yorkville. At Yorkville a stout German, on being informed that I am going to ride to Chicago, replies, "What. Ghigago mit dot.
"I won't let her! Here, Jim Black, you mosey back there and pile more sand around that anchor. Now then, men, pull as though you meant it. What! You're not going to have it said that you let a little cat's paw of wind like this beat you; are you?" Something of the captain's courage seemed to infuse itself into his men. They had been half-hearted before, but they were brave now.
He paled perceptibly, but Williams, watching him cynically out of the corner of his eye, gave a grin of appreciative surprise at the resolute squaring of his jaw and firm compression of lips. "Blamed if the kid isn't game!" he ejaculated under his breath. "But all the same, if I was him I'd mosey off a leetle to one side and that muy pronto.
It'd be best for you two boys to mosey along now an' save us all a lot o' trouble." Mr. Gibney carefully laid his pipe aside and stood up. He was quite an imposing spectacle in his bare feet, with his trousers rolled up to his great knees, thereby revealing his scarlet flannel underdrawers. With a stifled groan, McGuffey rose and stood beside his partner, and Mr.
Having adopted this conclusion, she resolved to face the prospect of a night's solitude by the death-bed rather than permit Mrs. Mosey to have a second opportunity of drawing her own inferences from what she might hear in Miss Letitia's room. "Do you mean to keep me waiting much longer, miss?" "Not a moment longer, now you are composed again," Emily answered.
Then such a cataract of obscenity and invective from Price and Mosey, while Cooper remarked gravely: "Them ain't our bullocks, Willerby; them's station cattle shoved in that paddick for something partic'lar. An' that kangaroo dog ain't makin' matters much better. And, to be sure, there was Pup looping himself along the plain in hot pursuit.
But you got a rakin' horse, Tom; an' I give you credit for gittin' at the blind side o' the turf-cutter." "He'll do me well enough for poking about," I replied modestly. "But how did the other fellow get on with Pilot?" "It was the fun o' the world," resumed Mosey.
"He's got a curse on him as big as Mount Macedon, and he does n't know it," muttered Thompson. "Bearing out the prophecy," said I aside to Willoughby, "that the sinner, being a hundred years old, shall be accursed." "You ought to show him a bit more respect, Mosey," remarked Cooper gravely. "Well, to tell you the truth," replied Mosey frankly, "I got no patience with the ole bunyip.
For Burke's sake, of course, the comparison in value of service had better not be entered on.
