Sheep's Acre ain't good enough for you, and you'd best find another home. Stoopid, is it? You'll have to put up wi' places stoopider nor Sheep's Acre, afore you've done. In regard to the hospitality promised to Mr Crumb, Miss Ruggles went about her work with sufficient alacrity.
"No, sir; I was only thinking it was stoopid of you to talk in that way." "Samson!" "Master Fred! How are we to know what's going to happen so as to be prepared? Human folks aren't seeds, as you know what they'll do. If I puts in a bean, it comes up beans; but you never know what we're going to come up." "Don't ramble on like that. Now, listen to me. We must get them to the cave at once."
And it was precisely this ineffectual throw-back to a Serena of seventeen or eighteen which lent a sharp edge of irony to the strident salutations of the parrot, as it called out again: "Hullo, girlie! Polly's own pet girlie," then with a prolonged and ear- piercing whistle: "Hi, four-wheeler! girlie's going out." And hoarsely, with a growl in its throat: "Move on there, stoopid, can't yer?
"Den it would be wuss dan stoopid for me to be oneasy, so I'll bid ye bof good-night, an' turn in." In this truly trustful as well as philosophical state of mind, the negro retired to his familiar couch in the inner cave, and went to sleep. Nigel and the hermit sat up for some time longer.
As the old woman watched them all to-night, she laughed softly under her breath at the stupid mistake the doctor had made. "Ef he had said anything but writers' cramp, I might 'a' been nervous," she said to herself, "but writers' cramp aint possible to anyone as don't write. I don't place much store by doctors after that stoopid mistake; no, that I don't." Alison's face was very pale.
Go and get a glass of Malmsey and a cake for my Lady Jane, Horrocks, you great big booby, and don't stand stearing there like a fat pig. I won't ask you to stop, my dear; you'll find it too stoopid, and so should I too along a Pitt. I'm an old man now, and like my own ways, and my pipe and backgammon of a night." "I can play at backgammon, sir," said Lady Jane, laughing.
"Now, then, stoopid," cried Mrs Crashington, turning quickly round on her husband, as if to counteract the little touch of amiability into which she had been betrayed, "how long are you going to stand there in people's way staring at the fire? What are you thinking of?" "I was thinking of you, Maggie." "H'm! thinking no good of me, I dare say," replied Maggie, sharply.
"No, no, stoopid! the old red-brick house with the limbs of a vine all over the front of it, and the skeleton of a Virginia creeper on the wall." "Yes, I see it," said Hopkins, looking out. "Ah, a friend o' mine lives there. I'm on wisitin' terms there, I am. Now then, mind your eye, pump-handle," cried Willie; "the turn's rather sharp hallo!"
"But, father," I persisted, "they don't always go on like this for nothing, I know!" "In coorse they don't, stoopid!" said he, giving the water an angry splash as he reached forwards, the blade of his oar sending up a tidy sprinkle across my face. "Why, where's your wits, Tom, this mornin'?"
"Den it would be wuss dan stoopid for me to be oneasy, so I'll bid ye bof good-night, an' turn in." In this truly trustful as well as philosophical state of mind, the negro retired to his familiar couch in the inner cave, and went to sleep. Nigel and the hermit sat up for some time longer.
