Heave that beastly book away. My aunt, I have had an afternoon of it. 'Oh? said Reade, politely, 'where did you go? 'After eggs in the Dingle. Reade was fairly startled out of his dignified reserve. For the first time since they had had their little difference, he addressed Barrett in a sensible manner. 'You idiot! he said. 'Don't see it. The Dingle's just the place to spend a happy day.
"Naturally I have not told her the worst, or how beastly unpleasant the man has been." He stopped and turned. "Do you know he threatened to kill me?" he asked. Kara smiled. "I can tell you it was no laughing matter," said the other, angrily, "I nearly took the little whippersnapper by the scruff of the neck and kicked him." Kara dropped his hand on the other's arm.
Mark was sorry for the tiger. "He was only a young cat. You'd have loved him, Minky, if you'd seen him, with his shoulders down very big cat shaking his haunches at you, and his eyes shining and playing; cat's eyes, sort of swimming and shaking with his fun." "How did you feel?" "Beastly mean to go and shoot him when he was happy and excited."
Tom and I were in the library, when we heard an awfully queer whistling, coming along the East Corridor The room is in the East Wing, you know. "'That's that blessed ghost! I said to Tom, and we collared the lamps off the table, and went up to have a look. I tell you, even as we dug along the corridor, it took me a bit in the throat, it was so beastly queer.
But I do wish you to know that I think it a sin and a shame to get a person like you, who can't pretend a bit, before a lot of beastly canvases inevitably repugnant to your mood and temperament, and make you uncomfortable with the feeling that compliments are expected." "All right, then; I won't tell any lies." She added in a sigh, "I did want so much to like them!"
You can't make the next man's reputation; he must do it for himself. All art is bound to be a bit selfish; but music is the worst of the lot. I don't mean composing, of course, but the interpreting end of it. It's such beastly personal work; all the nooks and corners of your individuality show up across the footlights. They are commented upon, and they have to pass muster.
Looking at him, I saw his face was haggard and worn and that he was nervously anxious and uneasy. "It is late. I know I shouldn't stay." His voice was as troubled as his eyes. "I'm sorry to keep Mrs. Mundy up, but I must talk to you tonight. Again I must ask you what to do." "It's pretty beastly in me to put this on you."
He was a different-sized fellow out in the hills from the anaemic intellectual of Biggleswick. He had forgotten his beastly self-consciousness, and spoke of his hobby with a serious passion. It seemed he had scrambled about everywhere in Europe, from the Caucasus to the Pyrenees. I could see he must be good at the job, for he didn't brag of his exploits.
Their faces are by no means handsome, being broad like the Tartars, and they allow no hair to remain on their eyebrows or eyelids, nor on any other part of their bodies, as already mentioned, it being esteemed by them quite beastly to have hair remaining on their bodies.
Then, turning round again to face her, he tried to control himself. "Look here, Daphne, don't let us quarrel about this. I'll tell you everything you want to know the whole beastly story. But it can't be pleasant to me to meet a woman who treated me as she did and it oughtn't to be pleasant to you either. It was like her audacity to come this afternoon."
