But he, recovering his self-possession, replied coolly enough, "I was just a-keeping watch so they wouldn't steal I kept them from running off with the quadrant." "Keeping watch so nobody'd steal, I suppose," said Roger. "Yes, sir! Yes, sir! That's it exactly."
"Nobody'd ask you to do more than you could," he remarked, rather coldly. "It'll never be much," sighed Anthony. "Well, the world's nothing, if you come to look at it close," the farmer adopted a similar tone. "What's money!" said Anthony.
"I felt before going so far that I ought to make a call on some of the good people here: it may be years before I return." "H'm," muttered Molly; "I tell you, if I ever get away I'll never want to come back." "Well, nobody'd want to have you, either," muttered her brother in return. "A girl who can't add two simple little numbers!"
Then, turning to the matter in his mind he replied, "I don't know who's got them. If I did do yu think I'd be holdin' hands with myself?" "Nobody'd accuse yu of anything like that," came from the window, accompanied by an overdone snicker. Mr.
I've seen his face, too, somewhere; where the deuce was it? Cousin; yes, cousins in Queer Street, I dare say! Why should he go and meet his 'cousin' out in the fog there, when, if you took twenty cousins home to the servants' hall, nobody'd ever say anything? If that Willon ain't as deep as Old Harry "
Saunders; "she makes her dogs nearly as fast as Jenny. She is still a bit careless in drawing the paper into the moulds.

"No, and nobody'd know it was there if there wasn't a boat around here named after it." "Is there a boat called that?" asked the colonel, and he tried to keep the eagerness out of his voice. "Yes. The ferryboat that runs from Lakeside to Loch Elarbor is named that. Seems that one of the men in the company that owns it used to live at Allawanda when he was a boy, and he called the boat that.
"I haven't," he replied. "You what?" "I haven't. I've never kissed any other girl but you!" "You don't expect me to believe a yarn like that?" she said. "It's the God's truth," he answered. "Well, nobody'd think it from the way you behave!" He regarded her in silence for a few moments. Then he said, "Have you ever kissed anyone before?" "I'm twenty-two." she replied.
Duney, backing away with a slightly pale face. "Doan't yow meddle wi' un, ma'aster. It's a quare place, thissun." "Why, what's the matter with it?" "Did you never hear that th' pit's haunted? Like enough nobody'd tell yow. Folk hereabowts aren't owerfond of talkin' of th' White Lady of th' Shrieking Pit, for fear it should bring un bad luck." "I've been hearing a little about her to-day.
I asked her: Was it the labels? and she said, No, she'd picked all the foreign ones off at Dover, and she got the Dover ones off in the cab coming home, and she'd had Heaven's own luck at the station, nobody'd seen her on the up platform, and her people thought she'd come from London.
