"What of that what of that? your father would have been my father we would have had the same name the same family history the same family feelings poh! poh! we should have been both Wychecombes, exactly as we are to-day." "Quite true, and yet I could not have been your heir, nor you mine. The estate would escheat to the king, Hanoverian or Scotchman, before it came to me.
Besides the price of my company, which is safely stowed away in bank notes in this breast pocket, I have a handful of ducats about me, with which I propose purchasing some trinkets for my bride. But I have a gold piece or two that I can spare, if " "Poh! poh! I'm well enough provided," answered the captain. "You know this is pay day. Come along." "But whither?" "You shall see."
The sub-lieutenants of the press stick a too popular writer and speaker with an epithet in England, instead of with a rapier, as in France. Poh! All England is one great menagerie, and, all at once, the jackal, who admires the gilded cage of the royal beast, must protest against the vulgarity of the talking-bird's and the nightingale's being willing to become a part of the exhibition!
"Poh! poh! child; you don't know what you're saying; but you'll overlook it, I hope, Captain Spike, for Rose is quick, and will soon learn to know better. As if letters couldn't be sent ashore by the pilot, though he was a hundred thousand miles from land!
But in trying to show them how smart she could be, she knit so fast that she dropped a stitch every other moment. "There, now, you are dropping stitches like every thing," said Lottie Palmer, very much pleased. "I guess I know how to do that!" "Poh, them's nothing but the loops," said Prudy.
"Perhaps, father," said Annie, without showing much interest in the question, "Owen is inventing a new kind of timekeeper. I am sure he has ingenuity enough." "Poh, child! He has not the sort of ingenuity to invent anything better than a Dutch toy," answered her father, who had formerly been put to much vexation by Owen Warland's irregular genius. "A plague on such ingenuity!
But she chose to be contemptuous. "Poh! What should a pale scholar know of such books? I tell you, Monsieur de Launay, you will never be a man till you leave your books and see a little of the world." Though she called me truly enough a pale scholar, I was scarlet for a moment. "And what do you know of the world, then?" I retorted. "Or of men either?" "I am only a girl.
When the Pygmy was quite satisfied that his eyes had not deceived him, he scampered, as fast as his legs would carry him, to the Giant's ear, and stooping over its cavity, shouted lustily into it: "Halloo, brother Antaeus! Get up this minute, and take your pine-tree walking stick in your hand. Here comes another Giant to have a tussle with you." "Poh, poh!" grumbled Antaeus, only half awake.
If ever he happened to gaze for an instant at the gold-tinted clouds of sunset, he wished that they were real gold, and that they could be squeezed safely into his strong box. When little Marygold ran to meet him with a bunch of buttercups and dandelions, he used to say, "Poh, poh, child! If these flowers were as golden as they look, they would be worth the plucking!"
"And his vices will injure his cause," said Boisberthelot. Then, after another pause, he continued, "Nevertheless, he was anxious to be reconciled. He came to see the king. I was at Versailles when some one spit on his back." "From the top of the grand staircase?" "Yes." "I am glad of it." "We called him Bourbon le Bourbeaux."
