She caught her breath in something like a sob. "But but you don't love me," she said in a pitiful whisper. Jimmy lost his head. "I do love you," he declared. "I love you most awfully . . . Say yes, Christine say yes. We'll be ever so happy, you and I; we always got on rippingly, didn't we?"
The Englishman scowled. "You delight, Monsieur, in touching the raw spots However, I daresay matters will go rippingly." He took the bills and counted them into his own purse. "A chap can't afford to be too sentimental or thin-skinned." He was thinking of a couple of clubs in Cairo from which he had been asked to resign.
Go on, Dedalus, he urged, you can take him off rippingly. The imitation was prevented by a mild expression of anger from Wallis in whose mouthpiece the cigarette had become too tightly wedged. Damn this blankety blank holder, he said, taking it from his mouth and smiling and frowning upon it tolerantly. It's always getting stuck like that. Do you use a holder? I don't smoke, answered Stephen.
She carried herself rippingly without the blanket, and I never saw a more beautiful hand in my life but one," he added, as his fingers at that moment closed on hers, and held them tightly, in spite of the indignant little effort at withdrawal. "She may yet be able to give them all points in dignity and that kind of thing, and pay Master Frank back in his own coin.
Yaverland said, "Oh, what nonsense! I was just thinking how rippingly you ran." "Havers!" she replied. "You were thinking nothing of the sort. You were wondering what for I carried an iron-monger's shop in my pocket. But yon rattling's just a tin with some coconuts I've in it that I made last night and slipped in in case you'd like it, rubbing up against my protractor."
"Good game," said Maclaine, meeting Burgess in the pavilion. "Who was the man who made all the runs? How many, by the way?" "Eighty-three. It was young Jackson. Brother of the other one." "That family! How many more of them are you going to have here?" "He's the last. I say, rough luck on de Freece. He bowled rippingly." Politeness to a beaten foe caused Burgess to change his usual "not bad."
Rippingly withdrawing from his prey, Moby Dick now lay at a little distance, vertically thrusting his oblong white head up and down in the billows; and at the same time slowly revolving his whole spindled body; so that when his vast wrinkled forehead rose some twenty or more feet out of the water the now rising swells, with all their confident waves, dazzlingly broke against it; vindictively tossing their shivered spray still higher into the air.
Soldiering largely consists of quick march, especially when it's more than usually hot." "Well, I shall learn to play the piano," said Michael. "But you play so rippingly already," said Francis cordially. "You played all those songs the other night which you had never seen before. If you can do that, there is nothing more you want to learn with the piano, is there?"
It was bright sunshine, and he was like marble, and the ground all about was sticky. He was staring up in the sun with his head thrown back and his eyes open, and the strangest look! Well, anyway, it made me think of a chap I saw once make a rippingly clever catch at ball, with the sun shining straight in his eyes, while the crowds went wild, and he didn't know what had happened for a minute.
"The funniest thing! They all kept up till half an hour ago. Then it got rougher and rougher and now they're all three laid out. Poor Moms says it's the smell of the rubber matting, and Granny says she had too many of those perfectly whiffy old cigarettes, and Pops says he's plain seasick. Serves 'em rippingly well right taggers!"
