Of course Tink had been delighted to hear that Wendy was going; but she was jolly well determined not to be her courier, and she said so in still more offensive language. Then she pretended to be asleep again. 'She says she won't, Nibs exclaimed, aghast at such insubordination, whereupon Peter went sternly toward the young lady's chamber.
Or am I a liar?" George hastened to reassure him. "That is exactly it. What's the answer?" "I'll tell yer wot you can do. There's the big ball tonight 'cos of its bein' 'Is Nibs' comin'-of-age tomorrow. All the county'll be 'ere." "You think I could slip in and be taken for a guest?" Albert snorted contempt. "No, I don't think nothin' of the kind, not bein' a fat-head." George apologized.
"Undertaking to destroy a thing that you don't know the location of and of whose existence you aren't even sure is a pretty big contract." "We've tackled bigger ones, old dear. We have the President behind us. I haven't made much headway selling my idea to that gang of old fossils who call themselves the council of scientists, but I did to his nibs.
The others did not hear her. They had crowded round Wendy, and as they looked a terrible silence fell upon the wood. If Wendy's heart had been beating they would all have heard it. Slightly was the first to speak. 'This is no bird, he said in a scared voice. 'I think it must be a lady. 'A lady? said Tootles, and fell a-trembling. 'And we have killed her, Nibs said hoarsely.
The first I knew of it was when his little nibs here hailed me, and asked me if I was his father. Then he informed me he was your boy. He's a lovely child, Nan, and I have been the recipient of some of his extremely moist kisses." She realized that he was too courteous to ask whether her husband was dead or if there had been a divorce.
It is flying this way. 'What kind of a bird, do you think? 'I don't know, Nibs said, awestruck, 'but it looks so weary, and as it flies it moans, "Poor Wendy." 'Poor Wendy? 'I remember, said Slightly instantly, 'there are birds called Wendies. 'See, it comes, cried Curly, pointing to Wendy in the heavens. Wendy was now almost overhead, and they could hear her plaintive cry.
Another game was to put a clean nib in your pen, place it lightly against the cheek of a boy whose head was turned away from you, and then call him suddenly. As Kipling says, we are the only really humorous race. This boy's uncle died a year or two later and left about 80,000, but none of it to his nephew. Of course, he had had the nibs every term. One mustn't forget that.
Rivers said, with an abrupt change in his voice: "Mrs. Burke is a hummer, isn't she? How'd his flat-chested nibs manage to secure a 'queen' like that? I must get married, Bailey no use." Bailey took his friend's declaration more lightly than it deserved. He laughed. "Wish you would, Jim, and relieve me of the cookin'." Blanche could hardly compose herself to sleep.
If I only knew how to colour it up, I could make some of this better reading. I can get along when I am on one line, but it is when I have to bring in a second line of events that I understand what C. means when he says that I will never be able to keep myself in nibs by what I earn in literature.
It is flying this way." "What kind of a bird, do you think?" "I don't know," Nibs said, awestruck, "but it looks so weary, and as it flies it moans, 'Poor Wendy," "Poor Wendy?"
