"A nickum oh! a nickum, indeed a daredevil nickum sitting in the Devil's Armchair, with his feet dangling down down over the deep precipice! Look!" Pemrose pirouetted in excitement at the sight. "Yes, and, goodness! he seems to be enjoying it, too. Not turning a hair. Oh! if 'twere I I should be so-o dizzy."
To be sure, indeed, the nickum, his glance darting past her to Una, had gone by with a slight inclination of his bare head that was a stony bow. To be sure, when one of the girls of his acquaintance questioned him about the view from the Devil's Seat, there was a sort of creak in his voice as he answered: "It's a corker!
Una's face flamed upon the bribe, and was so pretty lit by that fixed star in the eye, that it must have been a zero-hearted nickum who could turn his back upon it. "Hold my hat," said Pem: if she had been a boy, the tone would have meant: "Hold my coat while I thrash him!"
At the same time Peagreen gave the boat a strong shove outward to where a current caught it and swept it further mockingly further, towards the darkening center of the Bowl. "Oh! I say I say, you fellows, that's no stunt to pull off!" roared the nickum wrathfully. "I'm due at the dance now!" "You're not coming to the dance.
'Twill land within quarter of a mile of us, anyhow," shrieked the professor's young assistant, a college boy, an athlete, who had led the quarter-mile sprint on many a hard-won field, when the racing honor of a school was at stake; and he ran as never before to get the better of the tricky gusts and seize the parachute faster, even, than the nickum, that mysterious youth, had run, when he saved the day for the mountain team at baseball.
I wonner that ye tak sic pains wi' me, sir, whan I was sic a nickum." The master could not reply. But he was more grateful for Truffey's generous forgiveness than he would have been for the richest living in Scotland. Such forgiveness is just giving us back ourselves clean and happy. And for what gift can we be more grateful? He vowed over again to do all he could for Truffey.
And the answer came in clear, ringing, boyish tones from another angler presumably momentarily rainbowing the wood. "Yes sure that Parmachene belle is the girl, Dad! If if there's a trout in the stream, she'll put the 'come hither! on it." "Bah! Likening a trout-fly to a girl! So like his 'nickum' impudence!" Pem's teeth in her present mood came together with a snap.
He actually had his armful of mayflowers, too, the nickum, not the snake; passë mayflowers, with the tan of decay on them, was nursing them carefully, as if they were part of a long lost heritage into which he had lately come as if he were afraid to lay them down lest some alien should snatch them from him. "He doesn't look like a 'chuff' a boor.
Then, freakish firefly, there, it was off again, the prey of the nickum gusts, before ever a hand could touch it the black parachute rotating like a whirligig. Never oh, never was such a chase for such a prize since mountain was mountain and man was man!
"I I'm just dying to get up to the mountains, to climb the Pinnacle, the green Pinnacle, that rough, pine-clad hill, with Una and sit in the Devil's Chair!" "What! My Wise Woman sitting in the Devil's Chair! Why! 'twould take a daredevil nickum, indeed, to do that."
