I know WHO AND WHAT I AM. That uplifts me whenever I meet the sneaky, sly suspicions of these Basin people. It shows me the difference between them and me. That's what I glory in." "Ellen, you're a wild, headstrong child," rejoined the old man, in severe tones. "Word has been passed ag'in' your good name your honor.... An' hevn't you given cause fer thet?"
"Ah!" repeated Gervaise in a husky voice. Lantier, who had finished the pastilles, took some barley-sugar out of another jar. "She's sneaky," he resumed. "She made a sign to me to follow her, with wonderful composure. Then she left her old fellow somewhere in a cafe oh a wonderful chap, the old bloke, quite used up! and she came and joined me under the doorway.
He likes me: I think he does. I've had to lick him now and then, but Lord! his badness is all right not sneaky. I'll take him hunting next month, and then the foreman's wife at Sunk Creek boards him till school. Only when they move, Judge Henry'll make his Virginia man foreman and he's got no woman to look after Billy, yu' see." "He's asking one hard enough," said I, digressing. "Oh yes; asking!
I wouldn't mind half so much about the other sneaky things he does; if it wasn't for the way he treats Laddie. "Suppose we send Lad to the boarding kennels, at Ridgewood, till the brat is gone?" suggested the Master. "I hate to do it. And the good old chap will be blue with homesickness there. But at least he'll get kind treatment.
It was a great relief to be rid of him, for, as I told Mercer, he was always ten times more sneaky and aggravating during the last half, and you couldn't stoop to hitting a fellow like that, especially when you knew how easily you could lick him. "Oh, couldn't you?" said Mercer. "I could, and I would too, if he spoke to me as he does to you." "Not you," I said. "I would.
All through breakfast I am dodging and peeping from behind the urn to assure myself of the continued presence and substantial reality of the strong shoulders and bronze-colored face that so solidly and certainly face me. As often as I catch his eye and this is not seldom, for perhaps he too has his misgivings about me I smile, in a manner, half ashamed, half sneaky, and yet most wholly satisfied.
She put up her hand and patted the unutterably soft cheek before her. "He told me something about putting through your absurd idea of an immediate marriage," she said. "We don't want to do it in a sneaky way, Mama." "I know. You want to have your own way and to have every one approve of you, too. Is that it?" Mathilde's lips trembled.
I never liked him I didn't like his sneaky way of going about the house I didn't like anything of him and he never liked me. I always had a feeling a sort of intuition that he resented my presence in fact, my existence." "Very likely," said Burchill, with a dry laugh. "Well has it ever struck you that there was a secret between Tertius and Jacob Herapath?" Barthorpe started.
"Now this is nearly as pathetic as our best fiction," said Berkley; "ruined master, faithful man won't leave starves slowly at his master's feet tootle music very sneaky 'transformation! Burgess in heaven, blinking, puzzled, stretching one wing, reflectively scratching his halo with right hind foot. Angel chorus. Burgess appears to enjoy it and lights one of my best cigars "
"That's rot, Mrs. Drelmer; it's sure to be talked of, and anyway I don't want to be sneaky, you know." Percival came up from the cabin with a paper in his hand. "I see you have it, too," he said, smiling. "Burman just handed me this." "Isn't it perfectly disreputable!" exclaimed Mrs. Drelmer. "Why? I only hope I'll have as much interest in life by the time I'm that age."
