The consequence is that we both really get refreshed, instead of jaded out by our Sunday, and I think the children really look forward with anticipations of delight to its coming. "My Bible," continued the Deacon good naturedly, "says something about resting on Sunday. I wish our pastor would tell us what that means sometime."
Not, however, without first making a successful forage at the station, to provide luncheon, our tall friend cramming half a yard of bread into each of his tunic pockets, which caused him to cut rather a comical figure, especially as he wore knickerbockers; and he was consequently a source of great amusement to people we met, who laughed good naturedly enough, setting us down in their own minds, I doubt not, as mad English people, in whom any amount of eccentricity was allowable.
A tall workman with a black beard and hair all curled, was staring at him good naturedly. He answered with his eyes and throat full of tears: "They have beaten me ... because ... I ... have no ... Papa ... no Papa." "What!" said the man smiling, "why everybody has one." The child answered painfully amidst his spasms of grief: "But I ... I ... I have none." Then the workman became serious.
"I am in a hurry, so I shall have to leave you." "Not just yet, young man. Perhaps, as you don't know where you are going, you may remember what your name is," continued the man, good naturedly. There was a temptation to give a false name; but is it was so strongly beaten into our hero that the truth is better than a falsehood, he held his peace. "Excuse me, sir, but I can't stop to talk now."

"'I need not ask after your health, James, the General said, good naturedly, 'because it cannot have materially altered since I made the inquiry an hour ago.
But ye can't make them leave their service, and come here fer a drink. If ye kin I'll supply the stuff free." "Free poison," laughed one of the men. "Say, Jim, ye'd better go easy. The ground's too mighty tough, and we don't want to spend a month digging graves." "Never ye fear, Dick," replied Perdue good naturedly. "You've stood the stuff all right, so I guess the Injuns are safe."
I ought also not to forget to mention that the speaker was twice interrupted by the major, who begged that he would state the exact quality of poetry written by his friend, the poet. The audience took this interruption very good naturedly, while the speaker gratified the major's curiosity by reciting a number of verses written by him. The major then said he was fully satisfied that this Mr.

Up went the money, when down came the clerk, who I knew would stop the game; but quickly giving my hand to my partner, I rushed up and grabbed the clerk, good naturedly holding him until Bill had all the stuff taken.
If it were only possible to get in a few automobiles there might be some hope for the city." "Automobiles!" Giovanni was indignant, resenting even the mention of such newfangled contrivances. "Venice wouldn't be Venice with automobiles!" "Well, motor-cycles, then!" laughed Pietro good naturedly; "anything that would give some noise and ginger to the old town. Pep is what Venice needs!"
With all his efforts he was unable to conceal the interest which he felt for the girl, but the young man good naturedly allowed him to suppose it unnoticed. In a short time the knight reappeared, and invited them in to dinner. The apartment which they entered opened immediately upon the porch, and was a room some twenty feet square, constituting somewhat more than a quarter of the building.
