For thou art a good comrade, and fools were ever apt to divert thee too much. I have seen thee at this before that time we went to Wilna, and the fellow in motley gave thee griping spasms with his tomfoolery." Then was I mainly angry, as indeed I had sufficient occasion. "You are but churls," I said, "and the next thing to knaves.
We are ruined; we shall never get a sou." Thereupon, as often happens with cowards, Pierre flew into a passion. It was the marquis's fault, it was his wife's fault, the fault of all his family. Had he ever thought of politics at all, until Monsieur de Carnavant and Felicite had driven him to that tomfoolery? "I wash my hands of it altogether," he cried.
"Pooh!" said Bent. "We could get married the day after tomorrow if we wanted! Bridesmaids gowns all that sort of tomfoolery, what does it matter?" "It isn't tomfoolery," retorted Lettie. "If I am to be married I should like to be married properly." She got up, with a heightened colour and a little toss of her head, and left the room, and the two men looked at each other.
He now began to alter his key a little. "Look here, Frank, things are pretty serious. We've got to stop this tomfoolery." The other interrupted him. "What tomfoolery?" "Making an exhibition of himself all over London, and wasting his money at a place like this. You know perfectly well what I mean." "I only know that he's in the best form I've ever seen him in my life.
You may sign the papers at your leisure; but I shall ask you to excuse me, now." He bowed smilingly to her, shook hands with the lawyer, and called across the table to the banker: "So long, Uncle Steve; I'll see you later." A moment afterward the door closed behind him. "The whole thing looks to me like tomfoolery!" ejaculated the banker, as he drew the papers toward him, and signed them rapidly.
But Randy was not disposed to be communicative just then. "You'll know what it is in good time," he replied, and then turning to Ned he asked: "Can I have one of the tent poles?" "What do you want with it?" demanded Ned. "Has it anything to do with that piece of tomfoolery?" "Yes, it has," replied Randy aggressively. "That piece of tomfoolery, as you call it, is a sail.
So there's the end of your precious tomfoolery, Colette." She burst into vehement tears. "But you weep too soon," he protested. "I have saved you as usual from yourself, but only to inflict my own punishment. Don't weep those crocodile diamonds until you have heard your own sentence. Of course you know that I have followed every step you took in this matter.
She was faint again, and she looked, in her white dress with her slender curves, like a bas-relief. "What on earth is the matter with her?" asked Aunt Maria in her angry voice, which was still full of the most loving concern. She caught hold of Evelyn's slight arm. "You are all tired out, just as I expected," she said. "I call the whole thing pure tomfoolery.
You'll cut that poor little thing out in looks and voice, if not in acting." "Oh, uncle, I sang so horridly." "You can do better if you try; I wish there was time to train you. We'll do the 'logs duet' once more after this tomfoolery. Ha! Captain Armytage. You are an awful pirate, and no mistake. Where did you get that splendid horse-pistol?"
"Well, if I want to do it, I don't see why you need concern yourself about it. I wasn't doing it for your benefit, anyway." "Will you tell me what you DID do it for? Of all the silly tomfoolery " An impish smile quite obliterated the Christmas-angel look for an instant, then vanished, and left her a pretty, abused maiden who is grieved at harsh treatment.
