So we rides away innoshent like amongst the trees, me thinkin' only it wor a mighty queer place for manoovrin', until we seed, just beyond us in the hollow, the smoke of an Injin camp and a lot of women and childer. And Mrs. Lascelles gets off and goes to discoursin' and blarneying wid 'em: and Oi sees Mr. Forsyth glancin' round and lookin' oneasy.
And I sit holding my sides, for we're only two white men and forty "friendlies" altogether, and two revolvers among us; and I've got the two! And they listen to his blarneying, and say, "Aiwa, Saadat! aiwa, Saadat!" as if he had an army of fifty thousand behind him.
Moore's bow over it was positively blarneying in its deference. "It is a great pleasure, I assure you," he said. She shook her head at him. "Rather double entendre, Colonel." "Madame knows it was not so meant," was the quick reply. She gave him a glance of amused indifference; then arose. "And Your Royal Highness does not wish to hear my particular errand?" she said.
The artist had gone abroad, and had left some of his pictures on the wall in charge of the carpenter a bewitched Greuze, copied in the Louvre; the inevitable study of a bird's-nest and primroses; a girl standing at a wash-tub by an open window, on the sill of which outside leaned an Irish peasant, with his handsome, blarneying face. Then there were sketches taken in the neighbourhood.
As far back as Brandon could remember, the quaint Irishman had been the same wrinkled, nut-brown, merry-eyed comedian that he was to-day, and Mary the same serene, blarneying wife of the man. They were not a day older than they were in the beginning. He used to wonder if Methuselah knew them.
"Well, rather." The speaker rested his hand on Phil's shoulder a moment. "I tell you it is good, young lady, to have the son part added, worth waiting for. I'm mighty proud of that sign. Between you and me, Miss Tony, I'm proud of my son too." "Who is blarneying now?" laughed Phil. "Go on with you, Dad. You are spoiling my sale." The father chuckled again and moved away.
Ah! she was a devil for a lark this lightly-clinging, caressing, blarneying, cooing creature up there! He remembered her now. Ha! very well then. Hoop-la! And suddenly leaping out like a rabbit, bucking, trotting hard, ambling lightly, "loping" on three legs and recreating himself, as only a California mustang could, the invincible Blue Lightning at last stood triumphantly upon the summit.
During one of these bumps in the uneven street the door flew open, and the camera fell out on the cobble stones with a thud and a sound of splintering glass. "And I thought that man a Juggins," said Haigh, "and imagined I was blarneying and greening him ad libitum, whilst all the time he was bamboozling me me me, gentlemen. But, Señor Taltavull, are you perfectly certain the fellow is blind?
Now, to me, the escaping steam is the sweetest music I know, for it means dollars to me; but I must be looking after me work instead of standing here blarneying with you all the morning." "I wish we had your men to dig our trench for the new water supply, Brady," said Joe Williams. "How deep do you want it?" asked the contractor. "About four feet.
He did not rise. That would have been too much to expect of him. But he uncrossed his legs and recrossed them the other way about. "Mistress Lyon," he said indolently, but with the soft, well-anointed utterance of the blarneying islander, which does not die away till the third generation of the poorest exile from Erin, "now, misthress dear, consider!"
