The very suggestion, sir," he turned his frowning brows again on Bob, "is unworthy, sir!" The young planter burst into a spontaneous laugh. "It was certainly careless of me," he admitted, "and when our friend here perks up I'll apologise. I say, old chap," taking one of the inert wrists, "can't you come to for awhile?"
"Then just you go and tell him that Kyaptin 'Badiah P. Perks is here with a gentleman who'll overhaul that stack o' chesties, and say whether I can take 'em board o' my schooner without getting into trouble." "Oh! Mas'r Harry won't get you into no trouble, cap'en," said Tom, "nor he won't give you no trouble. He's altered his mind and won't go." "Oh, no, he haven't," said the skipper.
I rattled at her: and oh! dear me, perks on her hind heels and defies me to prove: and she's no pretender, but hopes she's as good as any of my "chaste Dianas." My dear old friend, it's when you come upon women of that kind you have a sickener. And I'm bound by the best there is in a man-honour, gratitude, all the' list to defend Diana Warwick.
But she would not own that they were dead, and hoped on against hope, until the day when Perks came up to see the garden, and told her quite plainly that all her roses were as dead as doornails. "Only good for bonfires, Miss," he said. "You just dig 'em up and burn 'em, and I'll give you some nice fresh roots outer my garden; pansies, and stocks, and sweet willies, and forget-me-nots.
If the powers of government are indeed commensurate with the scope of its risk transfer and reallocation services why should it encourage its competitors? The greater the variety of insurance a state offers the more it can tax and the more perks it can lavish on its bureaucrats. Why would it forgo such benefits?
When they were all unpacked, she surprised and horrified the children by sitting suddenly down on a wooden chair and bursting into tears. "Oh, don't!" said everybody; "oh, please don't!" And Peter added, perhaps a little impatiently: "What on earth is the matter? You don't mean to say you don't like it?" Mrs. Perks only sobbed.
The trouble with you is that you are such a chap for accepting things. You're like a hall-porter in a Swiss hotel. You take things for granted. Do nothing hold out your hand and get your perks. Perks! Why, they ain't perks at all. They're bounty what you get from a girl like Sancie." All this Ingram took as his due as due, that is, to a man of passion and reasonable desires.
"There's the 3.14 up," said Perks. "You lie low till she's through, and then we'll go up along to my place, and see if there's any of them strawberries ripe what I told you about." "If there are any ripe, and you DO give them to me," said Phyllis, "you won't mind if I give them to the poor Russian, will you?" Perks narrowed his eyes and then raised his eyebrows.
“Mourn in corners where the fence Screens them, and seem half petrified to sleep In unrecumbent sadness;” in the little squirrel, that, surprised by him in his woodland walk, “At once, swift as a bird, Ascends the neighboring beech; there whisks his brush, And perks his ears, and stamps, and cries aloud, With all the prettiness of feign’d alarm And anger insignificantly fierce.”
"I am," I said. "May I ask your name?" "Perks," he said sharply. "'Badiah P. Perks, o' New York. What's your'n?" I told him. "Hah, yes. I could see you warn't an A-murray-can. I'll take you if you'll pay." "Oh, I'll pay a reasonable fare for our party," I replied. "Party, eh? How many?" "My uncle, his wife and daughter, and us two," I said. "And that makes five, stranger. Baggage?"
