"The first man that turns, my sword is through him," cried Foley, loud enough to be heard by five files on either side of him. Then, in a lower voice, "It's a bitter drop to swallow, but it's my duty to report what you think to the chief, and have a company of Jollies put behind us."
He knows well that the dogs cannot catch him so he jollies along just in front of them over his accustomed route where he knows every possible pitfall of the way. And the hunter waiting to leeward shoots him. Had the fox had fewer brains and simply bolted in a panic as soon as the dogs got on his trail he might have lived to bolt again the next time.
"Y'betcha, by jollies," agreed his bandy-legged shadow. None the less Johnnie was distressed. He believed that his friend was concealing an aching heart beneath all this attention to impending details. As a Benedict he considered it his duty to help the rest of the world get married too. A bachelor was a boob. He didn't know what was best for him. Same way with a girl.
To take your chance in the thick of a rush with firing all about Is nothing so bad when you've cover to 'and, and leave an' likin' to shout; But to stand an' be still to the "Birken'ead" drill is a damn tough bullet to chew, And they done it, the Jollies 'er Majesty's Jollies soldier an' sailor too.
"Did you not find it devilish cold?" continued the lieutenant, in a strain of good humour, which I encouraged by my manner of answering. "Indeed I did, sir," said I. "And the jollies fired tolerably well, did they?" "They did, sir; would they had had a better mark." "I understand you," said the lieutenant; "but as you have not served your time, the vacancy would be of no use to you.
"Chinese running in a regular stream away from the shore; making for the woods. One down another down." At the same moment almost came a couple of volleys, then several men went down, and the crackle of firing commenced again. "Go on, Herrick!" cried Mr Reardon. "Our fellows ashore, and running Jacks and jollies together, sir. Stopping to fire. Running again." "And the enemy?"
I did not think my father was in a very fit state of mind to write a sermon, but I held my tongue. My sister joined me, and we saw no more of him till breakfast the next day. Before we met, I received a letter from O'Brien. "MY DEAR PETER, I ran down to Plymouth, hoisted my pennant, drew my jollies from the dock-yard, and set my first lieutenant to work getting in the ballast and water-tanks.
"They're not soldiers, after all," replied Nancy; "they are jollies a sergeant and two privates." "Jollies! what are they?" "Why, marines, to be sure." Joey continued looking at them until they passed under the window, when Nancy, who had a great disgust at anything like arbitrary power, could not refrain from speaking. "I say, master sergeant, you're a nice brave fellow, with your two jollies.
Now, what I consider best is this, if so be it be against the articles well, then, let's all be in for it together, and then Vanslyperken will be puzzled, and, moreover, it will give him a hint how matters stand, and he may think better of it; for although we must not have Jemmy touched, still it's quite as well not to have a regular breeze with the jollies; for if so be that the Scarborough, or any other king's ship, be in port when we arrive, Vanslyperken may run under the guns, and then whip the whole boiling of us off to the Ingies, and glad to get us, too, and that's no joke.
