Nancy Pratt, who had been engaged for some years to a mate of a whaling-ship, perceived something of his state of mind, and took no offence at it; on the contrary, she tried to give him pleasure by admiring Sylvia. 'I've often heerd tell on her, said she, 'but I niver thought she's be so pretty, and so staid and quiet-like too.
A passing show, sir, half the time those I carry; no more to me, bless you, than so many sand-fleas a-hopping on the beach. Mr. Blackmore coast-guard officer he is I fetched him across early, with one of his men coming round from the Head. And that poor lippity-lop, Abram Sclanders' eldest. Pity he wasn't put away quiet-like at birth! Terrible drag he is on Abram and always will be.
"I will tell the master you are here, sir," said Audrey decisively. She closed the door and left him there. Well! Here was something to tell auntie! Her mind was busy at once, going over all the things which he had said to her and she had said to him quiet-like. "Directly I saw him I said to myself " Why, you could have knocked her over with a feather.
All at once a curious noise assailed Don's ear. "What's the matter, Jem?" he whispered, in alarm. "Matter?" said Jem, greatly to his relief. "Nothing, as I knows on." "But that noise you made?" "I didn't make no noise." "You did, just now." "Why, I was a-larfin' quiet-like, so as to make no row." "Oh!" "Thinking about them firing a volley at us in the dark. Wonder where the bullets went?"
And the landlady had repeated the story to Cambridge and Dulcie when she showed the picture to them, and expressed her conviction that the lad was far gone in the spleen he seemed always in a brown study; too quiet-like for a lad. She should have no peace in her mind about him if she were in any way related to him. Bless her heart! he would sell another for something much less than a crown.
I thocht she maun ha'e got wind o' his intentions aforehand, for she juist replies, quiet-like, 'Hoo do ye want aff, Gavin? "'Because, says he, like a book, 'my affections has undergone a change. "'Ye mean Jean Luke, says Mag. "'That is wha I mean, says Gavin, very strait-forrard." "But she didna let him aff, did she?" "Na, she wasna the kind.
Sickened, I bent my head, striving to count the seconds as he hung twisting and quivering under the maple limb. Would he never die? Would those spasms never end? "Shtep back, sorr, if ye plaze, sorr," said Murphy, gently. "Sure, sorr, ye're as white as a sheet. Walk away quiet-like; ye're not used to such things, sorr." I was not, indeed; I had never seen a man done to death in cold blood.
Bert drifted on like a swimmer caught by a current. "Fact is, I'm going to edop' the name of Smallways. I don't want no title of Baron; I've altered my mind. And I want the money quiet-like.
When she came back, there was my lord seated in the easy chair that was hers by custom and puffing away at his pipe a thing not allowed until after supper. You see, he had collared the tinder-box when he first came in, and had hidden it from her. Sal lit the lamp, quiet-like. "I s'pose you know you're sittin' 'pon my best bonnet?" said she. This took him aback.
"How has he been this afternoon?" she asked of Lubin in an undertone. "Seemed to be sufferin' a bit about two hour ago, but nothing more 'n usual," said Lubin. "Then he got easier and sank asleep, quite quiet-like. He's breathin' regular enough." "He doesn't look worse there's even a little colour in his cheeks," observed Aunt Charlotte, as she watched the sleeping boy.
