To dodge it for another moment he said, weakly: "Let's let's sit down a whiley on the dyke." But Grizel, while coveting the packet, because she had never got a present in her life, would not shilly-shally. "Are you to give it to Elspeth?" she asked, with the horrid directness that is so trying to an intellect like Tommy's. "N-no," he said. "To Grizel?" cried Elspeth. "N-no," he said again.
I hate to see a man and woman shilly-shally." "She won't have me," he said, good-naturedly; in his anxiety he was willing to let her talk of anything, merely to amuse her. "Well, she's a nice woman," Sarah Maitland said; "and a good woman; I was afraid you were doing the shilly-shallying. And any man who would hesitate to take her, isn't fit to black her boots.
Poor Frank, I reck'n I'll find him on t'other side, his body mangled in the same way. Darn it, 't air kewrous, too. 'Twar on this side he laid down to git shade from the sun. I seed him squat whiles I war walkin' away. The sun ain't hot enuf yit to a druv him to westward o' the bush, though thar for sartin he must be. What's the use o' my stannin' shilly-shally hyar?
They shilly-shally, they pick and choose, they discuss, they criticise. They say themselves these futile foolish things about the club, and the flat, and the cost of living. They believe in Malthus. Fancy a young man who believes in Malthus! They seem in no hurry at all to get married.
"We have nothing to say to that; give up the men, or we will burn down the hut and you in it," was the answer. "Remember the warning I have given you," said James; "however, we will just talk the matter over, and let you know what we decide." "Be sharp about it, then," said the first speaker; "we did not come here to shilly-shally, and we shall advance directly the time is up.
Drabble would take no pains to keep her dinner hot. 'If gentlemen like to shilly-shally with their food, they must take things as they find them, she would say; and if her master ever ventured to remonstrate with her, she took care that he should suffer for it for a week. 'We must humour Mother Drabble, Mr. Tudor would say good-humouredly.
"I am not sure of anything with regard to Desire." "Then you ought to be. Don't shilly-shally, Benis. It is a habit of yours. All of the Spences shilly-shally. Make certain that Desire is aware of your er affection. Mark my words I have a feeling. She is fretting over Mary." "I happen to know that she is not." Small red flags began to fly from Miss Campion's prominent cheek-bones.
But there are attendant evils. It costs money and wears out the constitution." "I should have thought that you had never felt the latter evil." "The money goes first, no doubt. This, however, must surely be clear. A man should make up his mind and not shilly-shally between the two." "I should have thought you had made up your mind very absolutely."
Look at me, Dyvis, there ain't any shilly-shally about me. I'm gyme, that's wot I am: gyme all through." The captain looked at him. Huish sat there preening his sinister vanity, glorying in his precedency in evil; and the villainous courage and readiness of the creature shone out of him like a candle from a lantern. Dismay and a kind of respect seized hold on Davis in his own despite.
