But the girl had used secrecy in appointing this interview; till I could see further into the thing, it was anyhow a safe bet to drop them. "Pete," I said, "lose that car behind us. Only ten minutes to slip them and land me at Fisherman's Wharf. Show me what-for." He grinned.
Ward offered him a riding horse, but he declined. "I'd have to send it back," said he, "and, anyway, I'd neither want to borrow your saddle nor ride bareback. I'd rather walk." The old man accompanied him to the edge of the clearing. "By the way," Bob mentioned, as he said farewell, "if some one asks you, just tell them you haven't seen me." The old man stopped short. "What-for a man?" he asked.
"I can weel un'erstan'," he said, "what for the Lord sud set doon Bony an' set up Louy, but what for he sud gar corn grow, an' syne sen' a spate to sweem awa' wi' 't, that's mair nor mortal man can see the sense o'. Haud yer tongue, Janet. I'm no sayin' there's onything wrang; I'm sayin' naething but the sair trowth, 'at I canna see the what-for o' 't. I canna see the guid o' 't till onybody.
Perhaps "Fire" would be bobbery when the Colonel mounted him, would get "what-for" from whip and spur, and be put over the compound wall instead of being allowed to canter down the drive and out at the gate.... Colonel de Warrenne stepped into his office to get a cheroot. Re-appearing in the verandah with it in his mouth he halted and thrust his hand inside his tunic for his small match-case.
"And don't you get what-for, if you go in with all your clothes on this way?" "I haven't any clothes on but my rompers," said Judith. "They're just the same as a bathing suit." She snatched back her prerogative of asking questions. "Where did you learn to swim so?" "At the seashore! I get taken there a month every summer. It's the most fun of any of the places I get taken.
Steve was a funny cuss, and I was just sitting up in the blankets and laughing when a tornado hit camp. The way that Spot walked into those dogs and gave them what-for was hair-raising. Now how did he get loose? It's up to you. I haven't any theory. And how did he get across the Klondike River? That's another facer. And anyway, how did he know we had gone up the Yukon?
'Ere you come, a pore mis'rable specimen of 'uman scum, an' I tykes yer into my galley an' treats yer 'ansom, an' this is wot I get for it. Nex' time you can go to 'ell, say I, an' I've a good mind to give you what-for anyw'y." So saying, he put up his fists and started for me. To my shame be it, I cowered away from the blow and ran out the galley door. What else was I to do?
"How could you have understood it? How could any human being have fathomed the mental processes that sent me there? I only wonder that instead of giving me what-for, you didn't murder me. Any United States jury would have acquitted you with the highest praise." She turned upon me, flushed and spirited. "Mr. Bayne, you are incorrigible!
I really can't see why she works so hard." Sally May, it may be remarked, would never work very hard as long as she lived: she wasn't that kind. "Did you hear Judith give Jane what-for the other day?" she continued.
Dreer would be sure to go to Josh and Penny'd get what-for; and then it would be good-bye, scholarship! Unless " Amy paused thoughtfully. "Unless what?" "Unless he could induce our friend Dreer to 'fess up." "Not likely!" "N-no, not very. Still Well, I'm sorry for old Penny." "Durkin asked me not to say anything about it, Amy." "So you told me?" laughed the other. "He said I might tell you.
