I got it tied in a corner o' what Miss Montagu taught me to call my shimmy shifts bein' vulgar, she said." So here we are, and W.B. capital. Which we hope to post our next from Holmness, and remain, 'Yours respectfully, 'TILDA. 'William will post this. "But you're not sure of that, you know," he urged. "'Oo brought yer 'ere, I'd like to know?
Carroll shrugged, placed his long, slender fingers on the keys shook his head and went to it. He played! A genuine artist he tried to enter into the spirit of the thing and succeeded admirably. The itchy syncopation rocked the room. His hostess snapped her fingers deliciously and executed a few movements of a dance which Carroll had heard referred to vaguely as the shimmy.
'Don't call mother the old lady, dear. 'Well, she is. And she says animals has got no souls. She'm only got a little small 'un herself. 'Hazel! 'Well, it's God's truth. 'Why? 'If she'd got a nice tidy bit herself, she'd know Foxy'd got one, too. Now I've got a shimmy with lace on, I know lots of other girls sure to have 'em. Afore I couldna have believed it.
I don't see myself what's the use of fallin' in love. One man's as much of a fool as another to me. But you must go to bed. You ain't fit. You'll be easier when you've got your frock off. There! Why, child, you're all of a tremble! And no wonder, wi' nothing on her blessed body but her frock and her shimmy! Mat. Don't take off my frock, Sue. I must get on with my work. Sus.

In the hurry of weighing, Mr Vanslyperken had not thought, or had not known perhaps, that the wife of Jemmy Ducks was still on board, and as he was turning up and down on the quarter-deck, he perceived her on the forecastle, laughing and talking with the men. "What woman is that?" said he to Jansen, who was at the wheel. "De frau, mynheer. Dat is de frau of Shimmy Duk."
If the situation had disturbed her equilibrium in the least, the moment had passed. She did not care what Lane thought of her guests or what they thought of him. But she seemed curious about him. Bessy Bell came and sat beside her, watching Lane. "Daren, do you dance?" queried Helen. "You used to be good. But dancing is not the same. It's all fox-trot, toddle, shimmy nowadays."
She's one who doesn't shake a shimmy on tea, believe me." Lane was somewhat at a loss to understand his sister's intimation, but as it was vulgarly inimical, and seemed to hold some subtle personal scorn or jealousy, he shrank from questioning her.

I know what I'd like to do.

Nicky-Nan carried the letter indoors to his small, dark sitting-room, and there spelled it through painfully, holding the paper close up to the window-pane. It ran: Sunday, 2/8/14. Mr N. Nanjivell.
