Still I can make myself pleasant to a parcel of kids when I choose; I can let them off some of their little rows, and I can help them to some better sport than all this tomfoolery about getting up a crack eleven and winning all the school prizes. Ainger won't like it, but I fancy I can sail close enough to the wind not to give him a chance of being down on me.
She crept noiselessly down the stairs and into the kitchen where Aunt Maria was preparing breakfast. The stove smoked a little and the air was blue. "How is she?" asked Aunt Maria, in a hushed voice.

We are approaching a time when the edifice will be shaken to its mouldering foundations, and presently, while the Church and the State are wrangling and quibbling, as they soon must be, over the loathsome divorce laws, these mandarins will wake up to find the marriage laws themselves are being threatened by a new generation sick of the archaic tomfoolery that controls them.
"Much I care so far as that goes," he grumbled. "What I wish to know is, why one needs all this war-paint and tomfoolery. Can a fellow not be allowed to enjoy himself without dressing up a perfect guy? I feel every seam in my coat splitting, and I tell you there will be a tremendous explosion soon.
"Go to hell with your damned tomfoolery!" said the marquis "If ever you mention that cursed hole again, I'll kick you out of the house."

"Be a change for us city chaps," he suggested; and then exploding at what he called his "tomfoolery," set the dining-net all a-quivering and shaking. "Gone clean dilly, I believe," he declared, after thinking that he had "better be making a move for the last train."
It might be all very well for Jack Stuart, who had nothing in the world to lose but his life and his yacht; but his noble friend thought that any such venture on the part of Sir Hugh was simply tomfoolery.

"Surely Arthur ought to know enough to stop that tomfoolery. If he doesn't I will, I declare." Arthur however gave the affair a very different complexion when she mentioned it. "Micksheen is a blooded cat," said he, "for Vandervelt presented it to the Senator, who gave it to mother.
He hands me an envelope. I tear it open, roughly and unwillingly. It contains half-a-sovereign no note, not a word. I look at the man, and ask: "What tomfoolery is this? Who is the letter from?" "Oh, that I can't say!" he replies; "but it was a lady who gave it to me." I stood still. The commissionaire left.
"Whisht, ye uneasy wights, and let me hear the boy. He is wiser than ye; wiser than his years." "'What tomfoolery is this, said he; yet he yielded to me, and soon I garnered three of his melodies; but I would not let Cul de Jatte wot the thing I meditated.
