What are they frightened of?" "I wish I could make out," Case answered, shaking his head. "Appears like one of their tomfool superstitions. That's what I don't cotton to," he said. "It's like the business about Vigours." "I'd like to know what you mean by that, and I'll trouble you to tell me," says I. "Well, you know, Vigours lit out and left all standing," said he.
He's the only one left, and from the looks of things he'll keep on living and making trouble another hundred years." "There was another Packard, wasn't there?" he insisted. "Phil Packard's son, the old man's grandson?" "Never knew him," said Terry. "A scamp and a scalawag and a tomfool, though, if you want to know.
Meantime, the big woman had remained sitting on the ground, apparently paralysed with extreme terror. For half an hour we jolted inside our rolling box, side by side, in profound silence. The ex-sergeant was busy staunching the blood of a long scratch on his cheek. "I hope you're satisfied," he said suddenly. "That's what comes of all that tomfool business.
"Look-y here, Nat," the doctor stared up at him angrily, "they're not monkeys in a zoo, to be looked at only on holidays and then laughed at! They're the other half of a whole that we're half of, and don't you forget it! Why in the world should you think it funny for them to do this tomfool trick all winter and have nervous prostration all summer to pay for it?
I've never had any training in nice things. I've never made love before, and I've never been in love before either and I don't know how to go about it any more than a thundering idiot. What you want to do is get behind my tomfool words and get a feel of the man that's behind them. That's me, and I mean all right, if I don't know how to go about it."
"There will not be anything as bitter as to lose a fancied friend," said she, quoting my own expression. "I think it is sometimes the friendship that was fancied!" I cried. "What kind of justice do you call this, to blame me for some words that a tomfool of a madcap lass has written down upon a piece of paper?

"Madam," said Mrs Dobbs Broughton, "you might at any rate have gone through the ceremony of having yourself announced by the servant." "Madam," said the old woman, attempting to mimic the tone of the other, "I thought that on such a very particular occasion as this I might be allowed to announce myself. You tomfool, you, why don't you take that turban off?"

"You did out to be put in an asylum, though, my son," said Mrs. Cobley. "Milly Boon is the woman I'm aiming at, and it may or may not interest you to larn that she loves you better than anything on earth you you she loves, you gert tomfool!"
I've been dared into a lot of tomfool things in my day. Next time anybody tries it on me I'm goin' to remember what yeou've jest said. I'll say no, by thutteration, and I'll say it mighty laoud, too!" They arrived at Merry Home in time to wash up and sit down to dinner with the rest of Frank's jolly house party.
"Davy, dear, come here an' tell the b'ys am I a liar." "Davy's monstrous cute," said Bill Cowan; "I reckon he knows as well as me the Colonel hain't a-goin' to do no such tomfool thing as leave." "He is," I cried, for the benefit of some others, "he's fair sick of grumblers that haven't got the grit to stand by him in trouble." "By the Lord!" said Bill Cowan, "and I'll not blame him."
