Wordsworth was decrying Shakspeare. "Pooh!" he said, "it is all very easy: I could write like Shakspeare myself, if I had a mind to!" "Precisely so," rejoined Lamb, "if you had a mind to." Mr. Buckle does not think much of the ancient Egyptian civilization, differing in this respect toto caelo from Hekekyan Bey, who finds in the monuments proofs of the existence of an expansive popular government.
But even while ejecting the "pooh!" he wondered why the disappointment was so severe. Was it possible that he was being taught by experience the lesson which Miss Millet's reasoning powers had failed to inculcate? It was blowing hard when Jeff reached the cliffs, and, bending forward to the increasing blast made his way to the rugged coast which was to be the scene of his night vigil.
"Have you discovered a gold mine?" "Better than that, Dick. I've discovered what we are going to do with ourselves this summer." "I thought we were going back to the farm, to rest up, now that the term at Putnam Hall is at an end." "Pooh! Who wants to rest? I've rested all I wish right in this encampment." "Well, what's the plan? Don't keep us in 'suspenders, as Hans Mueller would say."
The next morning Mrs. Temple looked out of her window and saw the militiamen on the lawn. "Pooh!" she said, "are those butternuts the soldiers that Nick went to fetch?" After that my admiration for Nick Temple increased greatly, whether excited by his courage and presence of mind, or his ability to imitate men and women and creatures, I know not.
Riccabocca is already restored to the estates and titles of Serrano; what do I care further for Lord L'Estrange? Still, I do not like his look." "Pooh, you have done just what he wished. I am forbidden to say more. Here we are at the booth. A new placard since we left. How are the numbers? Avenel forty ahead of you; you thirty above Egerton; and Leonard Fairfield still last on the poll.
"Pooh! Who's afraid?" Patty's saucy smile was too much for Bill, and, catching her up, he cradled her in his strong arms, and swung her back and forth, as if preparatory to pitching her into the tree. "Here you go!" he said, laughing at her surprised face. "One, two " "Mr. Farnsworth!" exclaimed a shocked voice, and Aunt Adelaide came hastening toward them.
The suggestion came from you in the first instance!" "Pooh! What a child! Such notions as she takes!" cried Mrs Rendell laughingly. "How it comes about is little matter; you don't need to be told how truly delighted Mabel will be to have you. You can believe in that, at least. And Paris! You have always wanted to go to Paris, dear!" "Yes, mother, I have. Oh yes, always!"
"Oh, I can make a trapeze from the clothes-line and a broom handle. I could hang by my feet from the trapeze." "Oh, Bunny! Wouldn't you be afraid?" "Pooh! No! Didn't I hang in the tree? And I was only a little scared then. I'll get on the trapeze all right." "And what can I do, Bunny?" "Oh, you can ride a horse when Bunker Blue holds you on.
"I am glad, for my own sake, that he is not so black as he is painted," said Agatha. "You may believe every word of it, Mr. Erskine. Be sure to do as he tells you. He is quite certain to be right." "Pooh!" said Erskine, crumpling the telegram and thrusting it into his pocket as if it were not worth a second thought. Presently he slipped away, and did not reappear.
Sunday afternoon." "Will Mrs. Livingstone be there?" "Pooh! Pay no attention to that. She'll be tamed by Sunday. Come about two. In the evening if you wish I'll have the Cormorant run you down the river to Gumbo Key." He paused and with a flicker of a smile added the words which he knew would evoke but one reply: "Of course if you fear it's a trap " "At two Sunday afternoon?" said Roger. "Right."
