Until the plunge is taken, the man in the arm chair clamps rose coloured spectacles on to his nose and the man on the spot is anxious; but, once the men on the spot jump off they become as jolly as sandboys, whilst the man in the arm chair sits searching for a set-back with a blue lens telescope. Here, the Peninsula looks a tougher nut to crack than it did on Lord K.'s small and featureless map.
I shall have to give up all thought of journeys to unknown lands; but, thank goodness! work seems to open out more and more at home, and we will be as happy as sandboys in a little home near your parents, working together and helping one another as we can do so well." "We will! We will! You shall supply the facts, and I will write them up.
"We'll call ourselves Sand Crabs, for we're always scrambling through the sand." "And we're jolly as sandboys!" said King. "I don't know what sandboys really are, but they're always jolly, and so are we." "I'd like something more gay and festive," Marjorie put in; "I mean like Court Life, or something where we could dress up, and pretend things."
Non?" as he shook hands joyously all round, with both hands at once. "Not a bit," laughed Graeme. "We're all as happy as sandboys." "Comment donc sandboys? What is that?"

Bats, balls, and stumps were made for cricket; of course very roughly fashioned, but they afforded as much amusement as if they had come straight from one of the best English makers.
Nor was this the only remarkable circumstance about these dogs, for each of them wore a kind of little coat of some gaudy colour trimmed with tarnished spangles, and one of them had a cap upon his head, tied very carefully under his chin, which had fallen down upon his nose and completely obscured one eye; add to this, that the gaudy coats were all wet through and discoloured with rain, and that the wearers were splashed and dirty, and some idea may be formed of the unusual appearance of these new visitors to the Jolly Sandboys.
I put up at the Jolly Sandboys and nowhere else. If you like to come there, come there. If you like to go on by yourself, go on by yourself, and do without me if you can. So saying, Mr Codlin disappeared from the scene and immediately presented himself outside the theatre, took it on his shoulders at a jerk, and made off with most remarkable agility.
'At what time will it be ready? asked Mr Codlin faintly. 'It'll be done to a turn, said the landlord looking up to the clock and the very clock had a colour in its fat white face, and looked a clock for jolly Sandboys to consult 'it'll be done to a turn at twenty-two minutes before eleven.
