Trouble was, I'm kind of pokey. I guess I couldn't give her any good times. I used to try to go to dances with her, but when I'd worked late, I'd get sleepy and She's a beautiful woman, smart 's a whip, and I guess I was too slow for her. No, she wouldn't never come back to me." "She's out in front of the house now waiting!" "Great Cæsar's ghost, and the floor not scrubbed!"
By this time they had effected an entrance into the shed, the door of which was securely locked, while the boards of one entire side of the tumble-down structure swung in at a touch. The three men stood looking down the pitch black hole into which the rope disappeared. "Looks kind of pokey, doesn't it?" said Allery Jones. "Think you'd better try it, Fetherbee?" For answer, Mr.
"They're all in the garden, sir; if you'll kindly take a seat, I'll tell them." Old Jolyon sat down in the chintz-covered chair, and looked around him. The whole place seemed to him, as he would have expressed it, pokey; there was a certain he could not tell exactly what air of shabbiness, or rather of making two ends meet, about everything.
Start number three and stoppage number three, as Frank hailed them with the luncheon basket, which had been forgotten, after everyone had protested that it was safely in.

Several times I supposed she was or near it, anyway. . . . But they are a curious pair, Austin so quaint about it; so slow and old-fashioned. . . . And the child is the most innocent being in some ways. . . . Which is all right unless she becomes one of those pokey, earnest, knowledge-absorbing young things with the very germ of vitality dried up and withered in her before she awakens. . . . I don't know I really don't.
"As she is fond of ornaments, perhaps we had better give her a nose-ring also. I have one somewhere that a Fiji belle once wore; I'll look it up," and, leaving Pokey to Jamie's care, Dr. Alec rose as if to carry out his suggestion in earnest. "Good! good! We'll do it right away!
The bride and bridegroom talk and laugh apart, as has always been their manner; and the Buffers work their way through the dishes with systematic perseverance, as has always been THEIR manner; and the pokey unknowns are exceedingly benevolent to one another in invitations to take glasses of champagne; but Mrs Podsnap, arching her mane and rocking her grandest, has a far more deferential audience than Mrs Veneering; and Podsnap all but does the honours.
