'What story could he tell against me, vain Lydon? said Tetraides, frowning. 'Or me, who have conquered in fifteen fights? said the gigantic Niger, stalking up to the gladiator. 'Or me? grunted Sporus, with eyes of fire. 'Tush! said Lydon, folding his arms, and regarding his rivals with a reckless air of defiance. 'The time of trial will soon come; keep your valor till then.
So saying, he nodded and taking out a case-bottle, wrenched at the cork with his teeth. "And how say you, Joanna?" questioned Abnegation. "Tush!" said she, with a trill of laughter. "Here is one that talketh very loud and fool-like and flourisheth iron claw to no purpose, since I heed one no more than t'other " "Here's death!" cried he fiercely, stabbing the air with his hook. "Death, wench!"
"I assure you, there was no death tonight," said Donnegan at length. "Tush! Of course not! But the tear on the shoulder of your coat ah, that is too smooth edged for a tear, too long for the bite of a scissors. Am I right? Tush! Not a word!"
"From you? Tush! I know it is impossible. I'd as soon try to hide myself in an open field from that hawk. No, no! I'll give you my parole, my word of honor that I'll make no escape." But Sinclair struck in with: "I don't want your parole. Hang it, man, just do your best, and I'll do mine. You try to give me the slip, and I'll try to keep you from it. That's square all around."
"You have reflected deeply, for an Italian," said Glyndon. "Who told you I was an Italian?" "Are you not of Corsica?" "Tush!" said Zicci, impatiently turning away. Then, after a pause, he resumed, in a mild voice: "Glyndon, do you renounce Isabel di Pisani? Will you take three days to consider of what I have said?" "Renounce her, never!" "Then you will marry her?" "Impossible."
My dear kind Steerforth, how can I tell you what I think of your generosity? 'Tush! he answered, turning red. 'The less said, the better. 'Didn't I know? cried I, 'didn't I say that there was not a joy, or sorrow, or any emotion of such honest hearts that was indifferent to you? 'Aye, aye, he answered, 'you told me all that. There let it rest. We have said enough!
"Daggett was near his end, and cannot be classed with those who talk idly in the pride of their health and strength men who are ever ready to say 'Tush, God has forgotten." "Why was this told to you, when the man had natural friends and relatives by the dozen over on the Vineyard?"
"In this hour, when the fair face of Artemis recalls the old legends of Endymion, is it not permitted to man to remember that before the iron age came the golden, before war reigned love?" "Tush," said Uliades. "Time enough to think of love when we have satisfied vengeance. Let us summon our friends, and hold council on the Spartan's insults."
"Have a care, sir. I shall allow no such insults, even though you are my superior officer." "Tush, tush," chided the commander-in-chief gently. "Why keep up the pretense? You are discovered. Why not admit it and have done?" "Sir!" cried General Tromp, drawing himself up. "I demand an explanation of your strange conduct."
"But that ain't no reason for you losing sleep and flesh over, unless she ain't in love with you." "There's no reason why she should be." "Tush, tush, son. Don't ever try to hurry 'em. Let her take all the time she wants. Women are funny that way." "Cap'n," said the minister in tense earnestness, "there is something vitally wrong in this town, and I can't seem to find out what it is."
