"Well, down at the Seven Flowery Kingdoms Chop Suey and American Cooking there's tea at five dollars a cup that they advertise is grown on `cloud-covered mountain-tops. I suppose when the tops aren't cloud-covered they only charge three dollars a cup.... But, serious-like, there's really only two kinds of teas those you go to to meet the man you love and ought to hate, and those you give to spite the women you hate but ought to hate!
"If anything serious-like happened to them, I dunno what the captain would say." "I know nothing serious will happen," growled Jasper Grinder. "He was merely trying to work upon your sympathies. Both could stay there till morning easily enough." "The wretch!" murmured Tom to himself. "I'm mighty glad I let them out!" A few seconds later he heard a cry of dismay. "Rover is gone!"
We all laughed at this, and Moran said if he was dealing with Mr. Knightley he'd get him a pound or two cheaper. But Starlight said, very serious-like, that the arrangement would suit him very well. So he had his saddle shifted, and the groom led back the bay and turned him loose in the paddock. We mounted then, and it looked as if we were all matched for a race to the Black Stump.
"Marthy had riz up in the buggy by this time, but as I helt up my hands to her, she sorto' drawed back a minute, and says, all serious-like and kindo' whisperin': "'Is it ANNIE? "I nodded. 'Yes, says I, 'and what's more, I've give my consent, and mother's give hern the thing's all settled.
You know, Buck, thet among us fellers us hunted men there ain't anythin' calculated to rouse respect like a slick hand with a gun. I heard Bland say this afternoon an' he said it serious-like an' speculative thet he'd never seen your equal. He was watchin' of you close, he said, an' just couldn't follow your hand when you drawed. All the fellers who seen you meet Bosomer had somethin' to say.
If so, seeing her own kith and kin would be amongst the most to suffer, it had read a very wrong meaning in her words; for it stood to reason when folks talked serious-like they didn't always stop to measure what they said, and if a text or two o' Scripture sounded seemly, 'twas fitted in to help their speech out with, not to be pulled abroad to seek the downright meanin' o' each word.
"Their helmets looked so damn like toadstools I came near laughin'. An' they sat round the lamp layin' down the cards serious-like, the way I've seen Germans do in the Rathskeller at home." "He loved the women and liked the wine, Parley voo? "I lay there lookin' at 'em for a hell of a time, an' then I clicked a grenade an' tossed it gently down the steps.
'No, Miss, red paper, written with black, and directed for you. 'Oh! 'And so, Miss, in my dream, I gave it you in the drawing-room; and you opened it, and leaned your hand upon your head, sick-like, reading it. I never saw you read a letter so serious-like before. And says you to me, Miss, "It's all about Master Stanley; he is coming."
He just can't bear what's said about us any longer and I don't wonder! He done his best, and so's we all. The public have just gone daft in the West End, that is, to-day. As for the papers, well, they're something cruel that's what they are. And the ridiculous ideas they print! You'd never believe the things they asks us to do and quite serious-like." "What d'you mean?" questioned Mrs. Bunting.
"Marthy had riz up in the buggy by this time, but as I helt up my hands to her, she sort o' drawed back a minute, and says, all serious-like and kind o' whisperin': " 'Is it ANNIE? "I nodded. 'Yes, says I, 'and what's more, I've give my consent, and mother's give hern the thing's all settled.
