I couldn't help hopin'; an' now, when I come to ye so, an' tell ye jest how the land lays, ye git rampageous, or tell me I'm jokin'. 'Twon't be no joke if Jim Fenton goes away from this house feelin' that the only woman he ever seen as he thought was wuth a row o' pins feels herself better nor he is." Miss Butterworth cast down her eyes, and trotted her knees nervously.
You must not take liberties because you are in the secret. However much the Magic works I shall not be a prize-fighter. I shall be a Scientific Discoverer." "Ax pardon ax pardon, sir" answered Ben, touching his forehead in salute. "I ought to have seed it wasn't a jokin' matter," but his eyes twinkled and secretly he was immensely pleased.
Jim could hardly speak, but he says: "Mars Tom, you ain't jokin', en it's SO?" "No, I'm not, and it is so." Jim shivered again, and says: "Den dat Monday could be de las' day, en dey wouldn't be no las' day in England, en de dead wouldn't be called. We mustn't go over dah, Mars Tom. Please git him to turn back; I wants to be whah "
"What what did you say about my er swimming, was it?" "Oh, nothin', nothin'. I was just jokin', same as you was about the wadin'. Ha, ha!" "Ha, ha!" Both laughed with great heartiness. The door shut between them, and each stared doubtfully at his side of it for several moments before turning away. That forenoon was a dismal one for John Brown.
"'What, says he, 'when we got yon capital marrowbones?" "'The same, says I. 'Yon wos horse flesh, says I; 'an' I think ye'll surely niver say again that it isn't first-rate livin'." "'Ye're jokin', says he, turnin' pale." "'It's true, sir; as true as ye're standin' there."
The Boss and the boys has got the trail by this time, I guess. The Boss said I should come and tell you." For a moment Mrs. Haines looked at him in doubt. "Is this another joke, Will?" she asked. "There hasn't been a hold-up in this section for ten years." "I guess the jokin' is all knocked out've all of us," answered Bill, turning shamefacedly away.
"What, blue-eyed Tottie? oh, yer jokin'!" "Not a bit. That child's a parfec' cooriosity of intelligence. She can write and read most wonderful for her age." "But she'll never be able to do the ham what d'ye call it?" suggested Haco. "Of course not; she's too young for that, but the wife'll do that. You've no notion how powerful hambigoo-ous she is now an' again. We'll manage it amongst us.
That about the Smith boy's good looks, you mean?" "Sartin. And about Mary-'Gusta's noticin' how good-lookin' he was. Rubbish!" "Yes yes, I know, but Isaiah was only jokin'." "Jokin'! Well, he may LOOK like a comic almanac, but he needn't try to joke like one while that girl of ours is around. Puttin' notions about fellers and good looks and keepin' company into her head!
Thought it was a good joke, seein' that Ted had been smeared all over the first page of everything for years. But kid, I seen th' look in that man's eyes when he said it, and he wasn't jokin', girl. An' it came t' me, all of a sudden, that all the things he'd been talkin' about had happened almost ten years back.
He, he, I knows w'en you's jokin'; but 'tis a fine lady doll," responded the little girl, wishing with all her heart that the beautiful doll in the gorgeous silken dress which Sylvia was holding toward her might really be hers. "Take it, Estralla! It is for you. Truly it is," and Sylvia's tone was so serious that Estralla came slowly forward and took the doll.
