Throth, whether you're jokin' or not, I'd be sarry to hear of anything to his disadvantage, dacent man. Boys, won't you go down to the other room?" "Go way wid yez, boys, till I spake to Ellish here about the affairs o' the nation. Why, Ellish, you stand the cut all to pieces. By the contints o' the book, you do; Pether doesn't stand it half so well. How is he, the thief?"
"I wouldn't call any lawyer a cheat. That's too one-sided a deal to be good business. The expense of hirin' counsel is all on one side if it ever comes to a libel suit. And besides, I don't think Daniels is a cheat. I never heard of him doin' anything that wa'n't legally honest. He's sharp and he's smart, but he's straight enough. I was only jokin', Mrs. Barnes.
Brown first tried compromise, and then flattery, but she was proof against such measures. Mr. Brown. Mrs. Brown, my dear, jist come over to me now and we'll argue the matter. Mrs. Brown. No, you don't, Sergeant, ye don't catch me wid any ov ye'r compromises. I have the jug now, and I'll hould on to it. So I will. Mr. B. Shure, Honey, I was only jokin' wid ye before. Ye may hev half o' the crathur.
He told me, just a while ago, that the war'll make him rich, 'cause he's smart enough to use it for his own good. But he said I mustn't talk about that," she added, with a sudden realization that Josie was regarding her curiously. "Abe an' me's chums, an' what he says is between us. P'raps he was only jokin', 'bout gettin' rich. Abe's a great joker, anyhow."
"W-e-e-ll, if I'd gone straight up the road to Rogers's our jokin' friends would have known that's where the cranks came from. I wanted 'em to think they came from right here. So I went over the bank back of the shop, where they couldn't see me, along the beach till I got abreast of Joshua's and then up across lots. I came back the way I went. I hope those things 'll fit, Major.
"It costs well over ten shillings a pound." The ungrateful old sinner puffed out a cloud of smoke. "'Arf a Bradbury !" he grunted unsympathetically. "You're jokin', sir." I shook my head. "But we pays a bob a pound fur 'bacca on board o' the ship," he expostulated. "It's something like 'bacca; grips you by the neck, like."
"You're sure some lovely spot, Lost Valley," she said aloud, "an' no mistake. I know, more'n ever as th' days go by that Jim Last was only jokin' when he told me of those other places out below, big as you, lovely as you. It just ain't possible. Is it, El Rey, old boy?" And she moved a booted foot to the king's striped hoof and tapped it smartly.
"The old one's dead an' they've hunted high an' low for the strays an' can't even find Richard." "They won't need him," sez I. "The younger son is still in good order, an' when the proper time comes I'll spring him on 'em; but I doubt if he takes the job after all." "Confound you, Happy," sez Bill, "I never can tell whether you're jokin' or not on this subject.
"There iss no wan here wants to fecht but yourself, Magadar; but I will not disappoint ye. If you must fecht wi' some wan, ye shall fecht wi' me. But it iss jokin' ye are.
