Percival Pellew walked slowly in the opposite direction in a brown study, leaving his thumbs in his armholes, and playing la ci darem with his fingers on his waistcoat. He played it twice or thrice before he stopped to knock a phenomenal ash off his cigar. Then he spoke, and what he said was "Pooh!" The story does not know why he said "Pooh!"
In the midst of so much ignorance it seems easy to lay a claim to wisdom and shrewdness. I therefore only begged Sperver to moderate his anger, and by no means to fire upon the Black Plague, warning him that such a proceeding would bring serious misfortune upon him. "Pooh!" he cried; "at the very worst they could but hang me." But that, I remarked, was a good deal for an honest man to suffer.
Maxime had looked high for his conquests; he had no experience of untitled women; and at fifty years he felt that he had a right to take a bite of the so-called wild fruit, much as a sportsman will halt under a peasant's apple-tree. So the Count found a reading-room for Mlle. Chocardelle, a rather smart little place to be had cheap, as usual " "Pooh!" said Nathan.
"Oh! no, indeed; that would not be honest." "Pooh! nonsense! nobody would be the wiser, nor the poorer." "No, but it would be just like telling a lie. But I can never get it right while you are bothering me so," said Elsie, laying her slate aside in despair. Then taking out her geography, she began studying most diligently.
I happreciate what it means, sir, as I told Watson when he gave notice to me.

"Watson gave notice to you, did he? When did this happen?" "Yes, sir. The servants usually give notice to the butler.
"Pooh, pooh!" interposed Mr. Galloway, who was standing by. "If I am content to accept Arthur's innocence, surely the college school may be." Mr. Channing turned to the proctor. "Do you now believe him innocent?" "I say I am content to accept his innocence," was the reply of Mr.
Miss Grosvenor and Ernest continued to chat with such apparent enjoyment that Dawn said pointedly "Pooh! there's no art in pulling a boat; any galoot with a little brute force can do that," a remark having the desired effect, for the young Breslaw feigned not to hear, his face rivalled the colour of "Dora's," and his remarks grew absent.
"Pooh!" remarked the matter-of-fact Ned; "angels don't wear clothes and boots." "How do you know?" inquired Jerry. "Why, I never heard they did," answered Ned. "Did you ever hear they didn't?" continued the old man. "I never believed in 'em much afore then, and I sartin hain't bed no reason to, on this trip, so far as I know.
'Discourteously treated? Isolde rudely treated? By whom? 'Forgive me once more, my lord; but, in the first place, by yourself. Sagan laughed aloud; his ill-temper vanishing before the humour of the notion that anyone could take exception to a man's rudeness towards his own wife. 'Pooh! the girl is a bigger idiot than I thought her.
Waldo Kean stood an instant with clenched hands and crimson face, a straight welt standing out white and angry across his cheek. Then, "Pooh! he muttered, I'm going to college all the same!" and he picked up his hat which the horses had trampled out of shape, shouldered his pack and strode on down the pass.
