His face was full of the utmost good nature, but it also convicted him of too much sloth to obey its commands. "Say, Annie, what on earth makes them all pick on you so?" he observed. "Hush, Benny! They don't mean to. They don't know it." "But say, Annie, you must know that they tell whoppers. You DID sweep the kitchen." "Hush, Benny! Imogen really thinks she swept it."
And when all was said and done the lies a fellow told about himself couldn't probably hold a proverbial candle to the wholesale whoppers other fellows coined about him. Mind you, I'm not saying that it's all a pure invention, he resumed. Analogous scenes are occasionally, if not often, met with. Giants, though that is rather a far cry, you see once in a way, Marcella the midget queen.
There were some chop-sticks in the bowl, but no spoons, or knives, or forks. Captain Willock looked at them with a puzzled air. "If those are toothpicks they are whoppers, and I must say I would rather they were not there," he observed, as he tucked back the cuff of his coat. "However, I suppose we mustn't be particular, and as I guess we're all equal just now, here goes."
"I want to know, honest Injun," said Jim, "what you are telling such awful whoppers about your old big sister Solly for?" Content was silent. This time she did not smile, a tear trickled out of her right eye and ran over the pale cheek. "Because you know," said Jim, observant of the tear, but ruthless, "that you haven't any big sister Solly, and never did have.
Her ladyship returned, and the boys held by their contract, but of the dark character Tommy seems to have been, let not these pages bear the record. Do you wonder that her ladyship believed him? On this point we must fight for our Tommy. You would have believed him. Even Shovel, who knew, between the bites, that it was all whoppers, listened as to his father reading aloud.
"It's a cunning little thing, isn't it?" He picked up the ponderous blade. "I don't wonder you nearly dropped it on your toes." "There must have been giants in those days," she said, a slight shudder passing over her. "Whoppers," he agreed eagerly. "I've thought somewhat of buying the old thing. Not to use, of course. I'm not a giant."
"So there are, as high as eight pounds; and the Government hatchery at the Soo has hundreds that large in their ponds, for breeding purposes, I've read," Thad continued, for the topic was a favorite one with him, and he was a very accommodating boy at that; "that in Michigan, for instance, the law doesn't allow trout to be offered for sale or shipped; so while they catch some whoppers in the acts they use for white fish, they have to put most of them back."
That proves what friendship can do! ... I don't know why, but when señor Brull is concerned, I swallow the biggest whoppers, though I know they're lies. When you made your speech in the Chambers on that matter of flood protection, I sent to Alcira for the paper and read the story through I don't know how many times, believing blindly everything said in praise of you.
We had to pass some whoppers, which would have satisfied any reasonable man; for there was the San Josef, and Salvador del Mondo and San Nicolas: but nothing would suit Nelson but this four-decked ship; so we crossed the hawse of about six of them, and as soon as we were abreast of her, and at the word 'Fire! every gun went off at once, slap into her, and the old Captain reeled at the discharge, as if she was drunk.
"It would take lots more if we were picking wild strawberries. They ain't bigger'n peas, but these are whoppers." "And covered thick with spiders ugh! I feel them crawling all over me now. I believe I killed a million just this afternoon." Peace laughed. They didn't bother her. "Just s'posing those strawberries were bugs really, and when the hotel people ate them the bugs would bite.
