The two new apprentices had been set on to sharpening the weapon points as all that they were capable of, and had been bidden by Smallbones to turn and hold alternately, but "that oaf Giles Headley," said Stephen, "never ground but one lance, and made me go on turning, threatening to lay the butt about mine ears if I slacked." "The lazy lubber!" cried Ambrose.
The head on the pillow was raised to listen. "A murrain on those folk. There has been bungling among the pack-riders. That new man Derek is an oaf of oafs." She rang her silver bell sharply and waited on the ready footsteps. But none came. There was silence now below, an ominous silence. "God's curse upon this household," the woman cried.
The most ferocious beasts on ten thousand worlds had learned this lesson. And yet this animal had laid hands on him with intent to kill. A cold corner of his mind kept telling him that he wasn't behaving rationally, but he disregarded it. George was a walking need for a lesson in manners. "Don't get the idea that I'm afraid of you you overmuscled oaf," Kennon snapped.
A thing of iron, he has endured; and he has no patience nor sympathy with these creatures who lack his own excessive iron. I noticed the stone-deaf man, the twisted oaf whose face I have described as being that of an ill-treated and feeble-minded faun. His bright, liquid, pain-filled eyes were more filled with pain than ever, his face still more lean and drawn with suffering.
Finding me inflexible, he once more gave way to indignation: "What a damned oaf! to be thus creeping and cringing to an idiot a child an ape! Nothing but necessity, cruel necessity, would have put me on this task." Then turning to me, he said, in a tone half supplicating, half threatening, "Let me ask you once more: will you sign this check?
"Jan Lubber Fiend!" cried the Lady Ysolinde; "what do you here?" The oaf grinned his awful, writhed smile and wriggled his great body after the manner of a puppy desirous of the milk-platter.
So who will I knock out with the first chair?" "I'll answer that," Barbara said, quietly. "If it's Blaine against Babe, it'll be Lopresto against Herc. So you'll throw your chairs or whatever at that unspeakable oaf Newman." "I'd rather brain him than anyone else I know, but that would leave that gigantic gorilla to ... why, he'd ... listen, you'll simply have to go armed." "I always do."
It would be sheer sacrilege for you to dance with a young oaf who didn't know how. It's a bargain then. I'll give you all I can. You mustn't tell, of course." "Oh, I won't tell," laughed Dinah. He gave her his arm. "They are tuning up. We won't lose a minute. I always like a clear floor, before the rabble begin."
'You great oaf! cried Jeremy Stickles: 'you are rather more likely to know, I should think, than any one else in all the kingdoms. 'If I knew, I should not ask you. Jeremy Stickles, do try to be neither conceited nor thick-headed. 'I will when you are neither, answered Master Jeremy; 'but you occupy all the room, John. No one else can get in with you there. 'Very well then, let me out.
"Pink and white scenery with yellow curls," jeered Ellery. Dick made no reply and Ellery went on. "She has a young man already. You can't go and take her away from him. That wouldn't be playing fair." "The man with her is an oaf. He has a loose mouth that wabbles when he opens it to pick his teeth."
