See! Nearly got a stroke of the sun, Tom what Whiffle would call a cul de sac by taking off my chapeau in my poetical frenzy so shove on.
In this garb, Captain Whiffle, for that was his name, took possession of the ship, surrounded with a crowd of attendants, all of whom, in their different degrees, seemed to be of their patron's disposition; and the air was so impregnated with perfumes, that one may venture to affirm the climate of Arabia Felix was not half so sweet-scented.
I wish I'd been as sharp as you are, and never let a woman whiffle me into a scrape." "Nobody ever come it over me," declared Buck, pride slowly replacing his ire, but he added, gloomily; "excepting her, and I've never stopped thinking about it, and I've never seen another woman worth looking at not for me, even if she did come it over me." "But she didn't come it over you," insisted Avery.
This was the beginning to me of an interest apart from that which had brought me to King's Cobb. A real nutshell drama had usurped the place of that fictitious one that had as yet failed to mark an epoch by so much as a scratch. I accepted the former as some solace for the intolerable wrong inflicted upon me by the sea and Miss Whiffle.

"Is there is there no remedy?" She was taken with a sharp spasm of laughter, mirthless, but consciously expressive of all the familiar processes of self-effacement under torture.
Then came what he called, after his Malory, the Stumps Perilous. Between them there was but just room to drive in fact the delicate points of the whiffle tree scratched the polished surfaces of them on either hand. Bobby loved to imagine them as the mighty guardians of the land beyond, and he always held his breath until they had been passed in safety.
"Watson is apt to whiffle about, though a prime fellow, if you can once fasten to him, and get him into blue water. Does your schooner go out to-morrow, Captain Gar'ner?" "Not till next day, I think," said Roswell Gardiner, with the frankness of his nature, utterly free from the slightest suspicion that he was communicating with one in the interests of rivals.
Was there a moment's hesitation on the part of the Red Cross girl? Laura thought there was; yet almost instantly the stranger replied: "My name is Janet Steele." "Ah! Your address?" repeated the doctor. This time there was no doubt that the girl flushed, and more than a few seconds passed before she made answer: "Thirty-seven Whiffle Street."
