"What did she do?" Pomfrette's hands clinched. "What's in my own noddle, and not for any one else," he answered sulkily. "Tiens, tiens, what a close mouth! What did she do? Who knows? What you think she do, it's this. You think she pretends to love you, and you leave all your money with her.
It goes without saying that these reflections were not in my young noddle at the moment, but being of later date, are the findings of longer observation. I must have been in a sort of maze, wondering at the fun going on which I could see and hear but could not comprehend, and wondering too when supper was coming. I was about to ask Mrs.
"No, no," said the visitor, shocked at the thought of trifling with her infirmity. "Bad for business. If we all set to work as soon as we could use our hands, it would be all over with the dolls' dressmakers. "There's something in that," replied Miss Wren, "you have a sort of an idea in your noddle sometimes!"
Just arrived!" called Naab cheerily, yet deep-voiced with the happiness he knew the tidings would give. "A dusty, dirty, shaggy, starved, lop-eared, lazy burro Noddle!" Mescal flew out into the lane, and with a strange broken cry of joy that was half a sob she fell upon her knees and clasped the little burro's neck.
"Blood and thunder! bombs and fury! what have I done, that you should turn me out of your house in my grey hairs now I'm dismantled, as it were, and laid up in ordinary?" "Turn you out, Piggy! what could put that in your foolish noddle?" "If madam comes in, I cut my cable, and pay off Rathelin Hall right abaft even if I die in a ditch, and am buried by the parish.
"Sit down, marm, sit down, an I'll perceed ter divest myself uv w'at little information I've got stored up in my noddle.
"Come, come," said Stone, regretting his teasing, but determined to help the boy overcome his sensitiveness to it, "brace up, Fibs; you know I meant no harm. Forgive a chap, can't you and begin all over again. I know you have something in your noddle and doubtless, something jolly well worth while." "Well I oh, wait a minute, Mr. Stone I'm a fool, but I can't help it.
The music is inside your own noddle, old addle-pate!" she went on, as she took his head in her hands and rocked it to and fro on her shoulder. "Tell me now, old man; isn't it the creaking of the wheels that sings in your ears?" "Just listen, Naqui! If the angels make music for God Almighty, it must be such music as this that I am drinking in at every pore, rather than hearing.

Neighbours mine, this broken head deserves a plaister; had poor Jack been tender of his noddle, you would have seen the Pope and the French King long before this time of day among your wives and your warehouses.
I could put all this outfit on two burros, but the trail is narrow, and a wide pack might bump a burro off. Let's see, I've got all your stuff but the saddle; that we'll leave till we get a horse for you. Well, all's ready." Mescal came at his call and, mounting Black Bolly, rode out toward the cliff wall, with Wolf trotting before her. Hare bestrode Noddle.
