"Oh yes he twigged, fast enough.... There's a p'int to consider, M'riar. This man's her son but it don't follow he knows whether she's dead or living, any better than you or me. Who's to say he's not lying? Besides, we should have had a letter to tell.... Who from?... H'm well from ..." But Mo found the completion of this sentence difficult. No wonder! How could he reply: "Her ladyship?"
There isn't man round Turriffs who has the least idea in the world where you are, for your friends left you asleep when they came out with the old gentleman; when I twigged how you got off I never told a word. But they won't find you unless I tell them, and I won't." "Won't find me unless you tell them," repeated Eliza slowly, the utmost astonishment in her tone. "Who?"
We will say you had done the trick, and that I had twigged you. Do you know what I should go? Well, I would hunt up Polyte, and say quietly, 'Halves, old man, or I will split." "And I should give you a crack in the jaw," returned Polyte angrily. Forgetting his fine dress, Toto playfully put his thumb to his nose and extended his fingers. "You would not be such an ass," said he.
I actually twigged him selling papers at the Fulton Ferry this morning! A little rascal!" "A girl in boy's clothes! A girl!" exclaimed Old Hurricane, with his eyes nearly starting out of his head. Just then the young culprit looked up in his face with an expression half melancholy, half mischievous, that appealed to the rugged heart of the old man.
Lynette turned to take the basin of hot water that the arm of Sister Tobias extended from below, and the jaws of W. Keyse snapped together. Until he twigged the bronze-red coils of hair under the broad, rough straw hat, he had thought ... Cripps!
It began after quite formal greetings with, "Do you know that you are looking most awfully well, Miss Brown?" on his part. "You didn't dream that I cared for you, did you?" said Bijou toward its close, anxious to reassure herself upon a point that had made the last two years a bitterness to her. "Oh, yes, I did. I twigged that long ago," replied he. "That is why I cut my stick so suddenly.
"Yes, I've been watching it," was Wolf Larsen's calm reply. He measured the distance away to the fog-bank, and for an instant paused to feel the weight of the wind on his cheek. "We'll make it, I think; but you can depend upon it that blessed brother of mine has twigged our little game and is just a-humping for us. Ah, look at that!"
"Not a bit of it. I twigged his face when Buller stood up, and he looked as vexed as possible. He'd never have told." "I am not sure of that, and I think Buller was right not to risk it." "Fussy old chap, Lord Woodruff!" "Not a bad sort altogether, I believe, if you rub him the right way."
He drove a fevered pen, but retained presence of mind enough to provide for his occasions: "The excitement of Norway may lose me some marks in term's order. Not many I dare say." Again, "When you are excited reports go bad. I have been shouting rather, kicking up a shine. Once there was a small fight which was twigged. Norway is a serious matter."
At first I thought you were going to come the high and mighty over that cowboy, and if you had, you'd have raised Hades and Thomasus. We should have had the rest of them on us and the show wrecked, like they did that other one. I tell you I was out of that coat before you could say Jack Robinson. But before you were half across the ring I twigged your game. And you played it for all it was worth.
