Good God! I can stand a fool as far as any man can, Mr. Narkom, but when it comes to this Look here, you, Mr. Woodhead, or Thickhead, or whatever your infernal name is " "Call a spade a spade, my dear captain. The name is Cleek, if you can't remember my other." "Cleek!"
Someone whispered into the captain's ear, whereon he nodded and laughed savagely. "Ah!" he exclaimed, "I am a thickhead. I had forgotten Odin and his sacrifice. Yes, yes, we'll keep the traitor safe." So they bound Steinar to one of the benches and gave him ale and covered him with a blood-stained cloak taken from a dead man.
And you won't look me in the eyes as you are doing now, saucy girl, with your chin pushed forward and your mouth all in a pucker who's to know whether you are going to pout or giggle? and your pert green eyes wide open, as if to say "Who's this old thickhead staring at me so hard?" No, Bettina, you will drop them instead; you will blush all over your neck and cheeks, and hang your round head.
"It's so far from a joke," he said, in a low tone, "that I want your word you'll get that photograph into my hands by to-morrow afternoon, no matter what transpires in the meantime. And look here, Carruthers, don't think I'm playing the silly thickhead, and trying to mystify you. I'm no detective or anything like that.
I don't like you to look upon your father as a thickhead who couldn't be expected to succeed. Look at Fadge. He married a woman of good social position; she brought him friends and influence. But for that he would never have been editor of The Study, a place for which he wasn't in the least fit.
Egan didn't know if it was a hurt it had received, for the panting Patsy was unable to answer her. 'The child's all right, he blurted out at last. 'She said I might take it and welcome, now it was a Protestant. 'Ah, sure, you great thickhead of a boy! weren't you quick enough for her? 'Now, what are you talkin' about?
"Well, the future must look after itself," answered Leonard, "snake or no snake. At present we must follow our luck. Otter, listen to me. Do you understand that you are a god, the god of this people?" "The god, Baas? What is a god?" "Have I not told you, thickhead? You are not a man any more, you are a spirit. Once, so it seems, you ruled this people in the past, and now you will rule them again.
'No, says Bogue; 'to be sure he wasn't. 'Why, then, you thickhead, says I, 'he must have left while you were talking with the prisoner; and since you heard him go, the odds are the prisoner heard him, too. That's the way to get at evidence, Lydia." "My dear Jack," said Miss Belcher, "you're an Argus!" "Well, I flatter myself it was pretty neat," resumed Mr.
He bought a buck-wagon with a tent covering over the hinder part, provisions sufficient for six months, a span of oxen, a couple of horses salted for the thickhead sickness, hired a Griqua lad as wagon-driver, and half a dozen Matabele boys who were waiting for a chance to return, and started northeastward.
While tramping from Paris to Varses I had begun to give Mattia reading lessons and elementary music lessons. I continued, these lessons now. Either I was not a good teacher, which was quite possible, or Mattia was not a good pupil, which also was quite possible; the lessons were not a success. Often I got angry and, shutting the book with a bang, told him that he was a thickhead.
