Never, dog though he was, had he armed a girl out on any afternoon, to say nothing of Sunday afternoon, and Knype's Wakes Sunday at that! He had talked about girls at the club. He understood the theory. But the practice The foundation of England's greatness is that Englishmen hate to look fools. The fear of being taken for a ninny will spur an Englishman to the most surprising deeds of courage.
"The Bacchanal Queen! or I publish my banns of marriage with Ninny Moulin!" cried little Rose-Pompon, with a determined air. "The Bacchanal Queen! or the court will rise in arms, and carry her off by force!" said another voice. "Yes, yes let us carry her off!" repeated a formidable chorus.
Turning towards the servant, who had brought him the letter, Rodin gave him the note he had just written to Ninny Moulin, and said to him: "Let this letter be taken instantly to its address, and let the bearer wait for an answer." "Yes, father."
"I know perfectly well that dinner was announced ages ago!" And, raising her voice: "Scott, you silly ninny! Where in the world are you?" Scott appeared with alacrity from the library, evidently detained there in hunger and impatience by Kathleen, who came in a moment later, pretty eyes innocently perplexed. "I declare," she said, "it is nine o'clock and dinner is supposed to be served at eight!"
"I want to tell you sumpin, mamma," whispered she, bending forward and almost scalding herself against the teapot, "I won't talk; I won't talk a tall." But it was of no use. Mrs. Willard was not fond of little girls, and Mrs. Gray would not take Flaxie; she must stay at home with her sister Ninny.
"I should think not, he looks so puny and small." "Hold your peace, fool!" said the man; "he can do more than that I tell you he's fly; he carries a sap about, which would sting a ninny like you to dead." "What, a sap-engro!" said the boy, with a singular whine, and, stooping down, he leered curiously in my face, kindly, however, and then patted me on the head. "A sap-engro," he ejaculated; "lor!"
"I haint such a ninny as that," said Beck, with majestic contempt. "I 'spises the flat that is done brown by the blowens. I 'as a mattris." "A mattress! a mattress! Well, what has that to do with the money?" "Vy, I lines it." Percival looked puzzled. "Oh," said he, after a thoughtful pause, and in a tone of considerable compassion, "I understand: you sew your money in your mattress.
After that it's up to you and Charles and me, Joe." "Yes, I suppose it is. Well, we'll do our best!" "Sure thing!" assented Blake. "We will if some ninny of a frog-skinning Frenchman doesn't try to ram us with an airship!" growled Macaroni. He had never gotten over the accident. "I believe you are growing childish, Mac!" snapped Blake, in unusual ill-humor.
"Oh, I don't see that you have any call to do the grand renouncing act!" exclaimed Katie. "Why should you cut yourself off from a good time and a good friend by snubbing him? It will put you in a very unpleasant light, for you couldn't explain without making Bernice appear a perfect ninny. And if you don't explain, what will he think of you?
Would she never come? There was a sliding-door in the wall above the middle shelf, and Ninny climbed up and pushed it back. It opened into the parlor-closet, where the china dishes stood. If she could only crawl through that sliding door she might get out by way of the parlor, if she did break the dishes. But, oh dear! it wasn't half big enough.
