"The next time we go to the play, please, brother Jack, pinch us when we ought to cry, or give us a nudge when it is right to laugh." "I wish we could have had the fight," said General Lambert, "the fight between little Norval and the gigantic Norwegian that would have been rare sport: and you should write, Jack, and suggest it to Mr. Rich, the manager."
His notes had never sounded so loud and harsh before but you must remember that Jasper had been saving his voice all day for this very occasion. At last Valentine Veery launched his small, cinnamon-colored body straight at Jasper Jay and gave him a sharp nudge with his wing. And at that Jasper stopped singing. "What's the matter?" he asked in an angry voice. "Matter?" said Valentine Veery.
"You see, my boy, I'm used to this sort of thing. Sometimes it's cattle, sometimes it's pigs and sheep. Well, they don't like going down into a flat-bottomed boat; but," he added, with a chuckle and a nudge, "they have to go, and if they won't go decently like passengers, we just shoves them overboard and lets them swim ashore.
It made Lilac feel quite cross, and she gave him a sharp little nudge with her elbow to make him attend to what she had to say. "Why ever did you let 'em go on so silly about the brownie?" she said. "You looked for all the world as if you believed in it." Peter flicked his horse thoughtfully. "There's a many cur'ous things in the world," he said; "cur'ouser than that."
Makes him one of us again! Well, he's welcome in oils. Can't say much to us from canvas, eh?" And the rafters above him vibrated, as his violent efforts at joviality went up in loud and louder assertion from his thin throat. A nudge from the other's elbow stopped him, and I saw them both cast half-lowering, half-inquisitive glances in my direction. "One of the Witherspoon boys?" queried one.
Near by stands a table with a lamp on it, surrounded by a circle of children, or of nephews and nieces, who nudge each other and point to their father or uncle, whispering, "Hush he's asleep;" and laughing at the grotesque expression that sleep has given to our wrinkled faces.
If they think they're going to frighten us away they're mistaken. They don't know what Englishmen are, do they, little nigger?" "How Pomp know what de Injum tink?" said the boy, promptly. The man turned to me and gave me a nudge, as he laughingly continued, in the whisper in which the conversation was carried on
You shall see him. He is so celebrate in all Germany and he has a pension, yes, from the government. He not obliged to sing now, only twice every year; but if he not sing twice each year they take him his pension away." Very well, we went. When the renowned old tenor appeared, I got a nudge and an excited whisper: "Now you see him!" But the "celebrate" was an astonishing disappointment to me.
He indicated my presence proximity, rather to Wyatt, by a nudge on the elbow, whereupon that respectable personage swung sharply round, and returned my scrutinising gaze by one of insolent defiance and bravado, which he contrived to render still more emphatic by thrusting his tongue into his cheek.
"I say, will you call him right up?" "That I will, sir," says the superintendent, "if you'll tell me how." "Why," says Waddy, "couldn't you er telephone to him, or send a messenger?" It seems that can't be done. "You might try shouting down, the shaft though," says the Welshman, with a twinkle in his eyes. Waddy would have gone hoarse doin' it, too, if I hadn't given him the nudge.
