One morning, when his mother's back was turned, he was surprised to see that she had only a short and stumpy tail. He had been thinking so much of his own that he had not noticed hers. "Mother," he cried, "why didn't you have a long tail too?" "I did have once," she answered with a sheepish smile. "Did it get broken?" he asked in a faint little voice.
The man looked sheepish enough as he put the bad money in his pocket, and Toby's innocently told story caused such a feeling in his behalf among those who sat near that he not only disposed of his entire stock then and there, but received from one gentleman twenty-five cents for himself. He was both proud and happy as he returned to Mr.
"Why, geometry is even deeper than Talmud," I once exclaimed to Jake "Do you think so?" he answered, indifferently "I think an interesting geometrical problem is more delicious than the best piece of meat." "Why don't you live on problems, then? Why spend money on dinners?" "Smart boy, aren't you?" "Is doing problems as sweet as being in love?" he demanded, with sheepish earnestness
Leonard's manner was at first cordial; but presently, apparently checked by some sudden recollection, he drew back, and stood in sheepish embarrassment, fumbling with his dagger, while Sir Philip was lavishing compliments on Eustace, who was rejoiced when the sound of horses made it necessary to go and meet Lord de Clarenham at the door.
Lem Wacker felt a smart whack, went whirling back over the threshold, and the next instant measured his length, sprawling on the ground outside of the express shed. Lem Wacker rolled over, then sat up, rubbed his head in a half-dazed manner, and muttered in a silly, sheepish way.

Crackenthorp herself, the summit of whose perpendicular feather was on a level with the Squire's shoulder luring fair lasses complacently conscious of very short waists and skirts blameless of front-folds luring burly fathers in large variegated waistcoats, and ruddy sons, for the most part shy and sheepish, in short nether garments and very long coat-tails. Already Mr.
Fearfully searching the room for him, her gaze was held by a figure in the recess of the window at the back of the room. A solid, bulky figure it was, and, though uncertainly outlined in the semi-darkness, she knew it. She took a step nearer, and a cry escaped her. The man was Eliphalet Hopper. He got down from the sill with a motion at once sheepish and stealthy.
"Of course you haven't," Thayor smiled in return, "and yet you censure me for terminating my business relations with Bergstein a man you men unanimously chose." There was an awkward pause and a sheepish look on the faces of the men as they craned their corded, bronzed necks over the shoulders of those who held the accounts. "Wall, I swan!" drawled one. "Reg'lar damned skin!" muttered another.
It's a weird mixture the men sullen and sheepish, the women inspired and terrible. Even the candidates, most of whom are men, are embarrassed. They are peddling tickets frantically, and whenever they falter and show signs of running, their wives hiss something into their ears and brace them up again. The two hostile forces are eying each other with horrid looks. Mrs. Arbingle is quiet but deadly.
"Jim, my boy," I answered, "I love you like a brother. What is it?" "I have no secrets from you, Jeff," he said; "so I don't mind telling you." Another hesitation! I grew rather anxious. "What the deuce is coming?" I thought. "What can she have been up to? Go on, old fellow," I added aloud; "let's hear all about it." He stood at the end of the room, looking rather sheepish.
