"He's a nervy one see her stay up!" said the officer of the deck, who was standing beside the wheel, and had glasses on the periscope. And then, hurriedly: "I don't like the looks of her, captain it looks like a phony periscope to me as if there was a mine under it!" "To hell with her ram her anyway!" snapped Lanahan. The deck officer had not once taken the glasses off the periscope.
You may think you're safe enough, but all the same I wouldn't trust a living soul. By-the-by, I saw Felicia as I came in. You don't want her to break down, do you?" "Good heavens, no!" her brother exclaimed. "Break down?" David repeated. "Don't suggest such a thing!" "It struck me that she was rather nervy," Hunterleys told them. "One of you ought to look after her for an hour or two to-morrow."
Yes, they could not be mistaken something was surely brushing against the door. Thank heaven, she had locked it, thought Billie, as she began to feel her hair stand on end again. Once more came that brushing sound. And then, very distinctly, a sniff! "Oh, Chet," cried Billie, clutching her brother's arm spasmodically. "Nervy beggar," muttered Chet. "If I had a gun I'd know what to do.
"Nervy," said Mr. Fluker to his wife afterwards, "Matt Pike's a sensibler an' a friendlier an' a 'commodatiner feller'n I thought." Then, without giving details of the contract, he mentioned merely the willingness of their boarder to resign his bed on occasions of pressing emergency. "He's talked mighty fine to me and Marann," answered Mrs. Fluker. "We'll see how he holds out.
Dyer's black eyes gleamed at him suspiciously, but the movement appeared wholly natural in view of the return to shore. "Nothing," he replied. "I didn't like your gang particularly, but that's nothing." "Why do you take such nervy chances to injure us?" queried Carpenter. "Because there's something in it," snapped the scaler. "Now about face; mosey!"
They're nervy and yet they're careful and so I always hire 'em; but when we were doing this work down in the stope of the Last Chance, they began talking about Mother Trigedgo. It seems she'd told the fortune of a boy or two they were all of them boarding at her house and she was so worried she could hardly cook on account of them working in this mine.
He went stumbling out and drove away down the coulee, his head turning automatically so that his eyes were constantly upon the house; from his attitude, as Kent saw him through the window Polycarp expected an explosion, at the very least. His outraged virtue vested itself in one more sentence; "Purty blamed nervy, by granny to go 'n' shut the door right in m' face!"
I can see that our little Elsa is a trifle nervy to-day; she does me more honour than I deserve by resenting your great kindness to me. But bless you, my good Béla! I don't mind. I am used to jealousies: the petty ones of my own sex are quite endurable; it is when you men are jealous that we poor women often have to suffer.
When Andy P. Symes stood on a chair and faced the expectant throng the few trite remarks which he had in mind all but fled when his eyes fell for the first time upon his bride buttoned into her "going away gown." As he mounted the chair his face wore the set smile of the man who means to die a nervy death on the gallows.
The master of the hounds, in nervy yet placid words, explained that a runaway knew better than to cross open ground by night and set the house-dogs a-barking. It was only on seeing no workers in the fields that I remembered it was Sunday, and feared intensely that the pious fugitives might have shortened their flight.
