By now even the fire-eating Bobolink was ready to cry quits, and back down; nor did he seem at all ashamed to admit the fact that he was afraid. "If those sillies mean to blow up the whole island, some way or other, why, what's the use of us stayin' here, an' goin' up with it, I'd like to know?" he said.
But I have kept on with them, and had I been in Albany or Washington I would have caught Rosalie Jones in my arms, and before she could say "Jack Robinson" have exclaimed: "You ridiculous child, go and get a bath and put on some pretty clothes and come and join us at dinner in the State Banquet Hall, duly made and provided for you and the rest of you delightful sillies." Dr.
It was the Psammead, of course "On the look-out to make sillies of them as usual," as Cyril remarked later. And of course the next moment Robert's wish was granted, and he was bigger than the baker's boy. Oh, but much, much bigger!
"Lucky for you they were not, as you might have broken a leg in striking hard planks instead of soft soil," remarked Frank. "Here they are, boys!" sang out Will just then. It took but a short time for them to carry the heavy planks back to the place, and cover up the hole the crazy gold-hunter had dug so many; years ago. "Hope those sillies won't think to steal them off again.
"Sillies some people make of themselves, don't they?" she said. "I suppose we are, most of us, ludicrous to other people." "Do you laugh at me sometimes?" "No, no," he said earnestly; "I like you too much to do that."
The Lieutenant? Never. He was really not masterful enough mentally, and he had witnessed her discomfiture. And who, then? Oh, the long line of sillies, light-weights, rakes, ne'er-do-wells, who, combined with sober, prosperous, conventional, muddle-headed oofs, constituted society. Here and there, at far jumps, was a real man, but would he be interested in her if he knew the whole truth about her?
"Oh, all women are sillies!" was Angus's flattering answer. "They're just a pack of ninnies, the whole lot of them." "It seems to me, Angus," observed Mr Keith, quite gravely, "that you must have paid twopence extra for manners." Flora and I laughed. "I was not rich enough to go in for any," growled Angus. "I'm not a laird's son, Mr Duncan Keith, so you don't need to throw stones at me."
And here was she just as blithely postponing all allusion to yesterday's offence! But no; not quite, it seemed; for she continued "I cannot think why you two should challenge one another as you did yesterday, and make sillies of yourselves before a lot of farmers. It it humiliates you." "We were a pair of fools," conceded Cai.
"The idea of two women fighting over a man, as if there were only one in the world! And that's just what the rascals want you to do, sillies. Every time you quarrel over a man his stock goes up, and he thinks he's got so much more hold on you. No, indeed, women have got to stand their ground, good and hard, the way I did. My husband?
The next morning, every member of the family accompanied John and Anne to Oak Creek, and gave them a merry send-off to Denver. "It's only for a few days, you big sillies!" laughed Anne, as she leaned from the little car-window to answer many questions from her friends on the platform.
