Cautiously he approached the house until he could have put out his foot to the first of the steps leading up to the little porch. There he stopped, telling himself that doubtless he was just playing Tom-fool here in his enemy's garden. Less and less did he like the idea of prowling about the place of Henry Pollard at this time of night.
If he'd known what I was goin' to do, there would have been a stop put to it, even though it was to save his life I came." "How can you save anybody's life by comin' out in sich a tom-fool way as this? Less than a quart of water, and not so much as a blanket with which to protect yourself." "I can do it by goin' to Antelope Spring an' findin' a doctor," Dick replied.
'There are punishments and punishments, said I. 'And I hope, whatever your game may be, you will remember that there's punishment in dressing up like a tom-fool. 'Ah, but you'll catch the spirit of it! he assured me: and then, rubbing his hands, he appeared to muse for a moment.
"Possibly, sir!" quoth I, squaring my shoulders resolutely. "But my mind is resolved " "Julia your aunt, will never permit such tom-fool nonsense, boy!" "I am determined, sir!" said I, folding my arms. "I go for her sake her future happiness "
Thought maybe you'd changed your mind. Say, where's your baggage? Coming on behind? You haven't lost it?" he added anxiously, as Bill's face suddenly fell. "I forgot.

This land was open hunting in the time of the Jordans, and we're not going to keep off of it at the first bid of any Tom-fool that thinks he's got a better right to it." The assumption of justice angered Gay far more than the original poaching had done.
Even then, it took some talking to convince Rock that the affair was truly serious and not to be treated any longer as a joke. "Why, damn it, man, I'm in love with a girl and I want to marry her if I can get rid of this other darned, mysterious, Tom-fool of a woman," Ford gritted at last, in sheer desperation. "Or if it's just a josh, by this and by that I mean to find it out." Rock sobered then.
Then he caught sight of the name on the stern. "Hopper-grass! Hoppergrass! Where didger git that air name, Lem? Invent it yerself?" "No, I didn't," said the Captain. He was very much irritated, and he did not look around. "Well, then, if 'taint yer own inventin', I jes as soon tell yer if yer ask ME, that it's the most ding-busted, tom-fool name I ever see on a cat-boat in all my born days."
If I did, we're quits on it because because you insulted me. Perhaps you didn't know that. I'm willing to think you didn't if you'll only believe that the whole thing has been a mistake a damned, idiotic, tom-fool mistake." The words had their effect. Ashley fell back still farther.
