Love came easily on as a topic of talk where Rhoda, with her unconventional preference for that subject, introduced it. "Mr. William" she had got that far towards the inevitable "William" said Rhoda, one evening at Teackle Hall, as they sat in the library, "do preachers love jus' like other folks? Misc Somers say they is drea'fle sly-boots.
I'd give anything" He thumped the table, and pitched the cards broadcast, like an explosion of confetti, in a little carnival of glee. "You old Sly-boots! But are you sure? He's quick as lightning." "I am not afraid," replied Rudolph, modestly. He trained his young moustache upward with steady fingers, and sat very quiet, thinking long thoughts. A quaint smile played about his eyes.
Tapeworm must have met with Colonel Dobbin at the house of the Colonel's Colonel, the Marshal, for he recognized him on this night at the theatre, and with the utmost condescension, his Majesty's minister came over from his own box and publicly shook hands with his new-found friend. "Look at that infernal sly-boots of a Tapeworm," Fipps whispered, examining his chief from the stalls.
And suddenly he felt the fresh air blowing about his face, no more pushing and shoving, no more stench of spirits, sheep-skin, tar, nor leather.... He was again sitting beside Pavel in the cart, struggling at first and shouting, "Where are you off to? Stop! I haven't had time to tell them anything I must explain..." and then added, "and what are your own ideas on the subject, you sly-boots?"
I was at the right wing, and I saw Chosrew, an old sly-boots, thinking to force our centre, ranks closed, stiff, swift, fine movement a la Murat. Good! I take my time; then I charge, double-quick, and cut his line in two, you understand? Ha! ha! after the affair was over, Ali kissed me " "Do they do that in the East?" asked the count, in a joking way.
You, Miss Yates? or " and here she paused before Miss West, "Oh, you have your gloves on! You are the guilty one!" and her laugh rang out like a peal of bells, robbing her next sentence of even a suggestion of sarcasm. "Oh, what a sly-boots!" she cried. "How you have deceived me! Whoever would have thought you to be the one to play the mischief!" Who indeed!
It was men full of life and the interest of the great game paying passing homage to their helpless comrades in this place of healing. As they rode past, a few of the troopers had a glimpse of the figure dimly outlined at the window. Some made kindly jests, cheffing each other "Your fancy, old sly-boots? Arranged it all, eh? Watch me, Lizzie, as I pass, and wave your lily-white hand!"
She listened with all the frigid reserve of a judge. In reality she was tasting the most exquisite pleasure; she had got that sly-boots fast at last; she played with him like a cat playing with a ball of paper; and he virtually held out his hands to be manacled by her. "But wait," he said hastily, jumping out of bed. "I'll give you Eugene's correspondence to read.
Sure enough! Little did you or any one else know old Elsie had things like these! But she meant her little Agnes should hold up her head with the best. No girl in Sorrento will have such wedding finery as this?" "Wedding finery, grandmamma," said Agnes, faintly, "what does that mean?" "What does that mean, sly-boots? Ah, you know well enough!
But you all would have been nervous wrecks by now without me. And you call me names, like an ungrateful populace!" It was a mirth-provoking series of revelations. "Archie has shown himself a most artistic sly-boots," said Catherine. "I never had more delicious conscience pangs than I did on that canoe-ride." "So it was with me," declared Polly.
