"You're exactly like a bad small boy, Captain Selwyn; you look like one now so sheepish! I've seen Gerald attempt to avoid admonition in exactly that fashion." "How about a jolly brisk walk?" he inquired blandly; "unless you've something on. I suppose you have." "Yes, I have; a tea at the Fanes, a function at the Grays. . . . Do you know Sudbury Gray? It's his mother."
"There now, one can see!" she said, "now one can just see one can snub you with just the tiniest frown make you look sheepish by just moving a little away from you" ... she laughed, tantalizingly, roguishly, with tightly-closed eyes, as if she could not stand being looked at, either. "Well, upon my soul!" I blurted out, "now you shall just see," and I flung my arms violently around her shoulders.
Nevertheless, however courageously I formed this resolution, you cannot but too well guess the difficulties I must needs have felt in carrying it into execution; since want of habitual intercourse with the charmers of the other sex has rendered me a sheepish cur, only one grain less awkward than thyself.
Mole stepped forward, looking just a little sheepish. "Mr. Mole!" "Mr. Mole!" exclaimed a dozen voices in chorus. "Yes, my friends," said the old gentleman, stepping forward with his well-known modesty, "it is even so; your much-wronged Mole." "Tell us how it occurred," said Harkaway.
He stared at her for an instant, and then a sheepish grin crossed his face. His clothes were torn, and his hair tossed in the wildest confusion, while marks of blood spotted his cheeks. "What in the world have you been doing?" Nellie insisted. "Nuthin' much," came the slow reply, "Well, you don't look like it. Have you been fighting?" "Y'bet!" and Dan smacked his lips.
"Did you go as far as China?" questioned Amelia, eagerly. "Of course he didn't, Amelia," said Nannie with a superior air; "he has only been away three weeks." "Then you didn't get me any preserved ginger," pouted Amelia. "How could I?" But Tommy looked sheepish, as the memory of certain boastful promises came to him. "Anyhow," he announced suddenly, "I'm not going to give up.
Tom answered in monosyllables, and looked fearfully sheepish, and found his best policy was always to keep his mouth full, and so have the excuse of good manners on his side for his silence.
I see the bashful girls and the sheepish swains come slyly up to the side of the wagon, and exchange their hard-earned francs for the hopeful preparation. O my brown beauty, with those soft eyes and cheeks of smothered fire, you have no need of that red philter! What a simple, childlike folk!
And then, with a sheepish air that set me a-smiling, Joseph Runnles, my bedfellow, the little silent man of whom I have spoken, drew out of his pocket the parts of a flute, and putting them together, set it to his lips and accompanied Joe through the next stanza, picking up the tune with a facility that spoke well for his musical ear.
I've got her knocked into five thousand pieces now I'll dream of those confounded smash-ups and Sally in the midst of 'em, if you don't drop that magazine." The others murmured a somewhat sheepish assent, and Jarvis turned willingly enough to a tale of adventure at sea.
