"I thought you came to get a dot out of me," he said, with lifted brows, admiring her in spite of himself. "You seem to have a good spice of the Melrose temper in you. I'm sorry I can't treat you as you seem to wish. Your mother settled that. Well that'll do that'll do! We can't bandy words any more. Dixon!" He touched the hand-bell beside him.
“The old one—I did not write it.” “Let us not bandy useless arguments. Do you not see I shall be doing all that is possible?” “Let me think a little.” The younger Athenian held down his head, and Themistocles saw his brows knitting. “Son of Neocles,” said Glaucon, at length, “I thank you. You are a just man.
When the King heard this he tore his beard, seeing that the bean of the cake, the prize in the lottery, had fallen to an ugly lout, the very sight of whom he could not endure, with a shaggy head, owl's eyes, a parrot's nose, a deer's mouth, and legs bare and bandy.
He was not watched, but one false move might draw attention toward him, and but a mere suspicion at that particular moment would cost him his life; these men would not have stopped to bandy, words or make inquiries. As stated, there came the gleam of a light flashing across the calm waters, and the men who were not on ship duty strained their eyes.
The curse had reached him in addition to the long, sad nose and the bandy legs. The sense of enjoyment was never to be his. The greed of gain gain of any sort filled his heart, and ennui secretly nestling in his soul said: "Thou shalt possess, but not enjoy." He was conscious of this voice, but did not understand it then. He only burned to possess; looking to possession to provide enjoyment.
Horrified he beheld a pair of Spanish boots with scarlet, crinkled morocco tops, and they encased bandy legs which were strong and thick. What saved the miserable young Hawkridge was that the occupant of these splendid boots paused half-way down the ladder to shout a profane command or two in those husky accents so feared by all lawful shipmen.
"Little Julius Deschars came home with chilblains," she says. "But Charles has chilblains here." "Never," she replies, proudly. In a quarter of an hour, the main question is blocked by a side discussion on this point: "Has Charles had chilblains or not?" You bandy contradictory allegations; you no longer believe each other; you must appeal to a third party. Axiom.
I don't blame poor, dear little Suzanne. I blame you, you utterly deceiving villain and myself for being so silly. I am being justly rewarded, however." Eugene merely looked at her and drummed with his fingers. "But I did not come here to bandy words with you," she went on.
It seemed as if he had lost something sweet, lost it irrecoverably. He noticed Ed Kinney and Bill Young were the last to come out, just before the machine started up again after dinner, and he saw them pause outside the threshold and laugh back at Agnes standing in the doorway. Why couldn't she keep those fellows at a distance, not go out of her way to bandy jokes with them?
In this way at least an hour must have passed. Things were getting both cold and embarrassing, when the little creature, who was being thought about so hard, showed signs of waking and began to stir in the Woman's arms. I ought to have told you that ever since the Man's home-coming it had been sleeping. First it kicked out with its bandy legs. Then it fisted its pudgy hands and yawned.
