There was something unmistakably grim about Phil at that moment, and she wondered why. "Of course you do," he said bluntly. Audrey got up and peered at herself uneasily in a mirror. "It doesn't show much," she said, after a careful inspection. "And, anyhow" turning round to him "I don't know what you have to be cross about. It it was all your fault!" Phil groaned and held his peace.
Matilda made an odd gesture that had in it something of vehemence. "I am very sorry for her," she said bluntly. "Yes?" said Burke. "Yes." She repeated the word uncompromisingly, and closed her lips. "You're not going to tell me why?" he suggested. Her pale eyes grew suddenly hard and intensely bright. "Yes. I should like to tell you," she said. He got up with a quiet movement.
That's one thing. But, as for the parishioners, they will follow your ladyship's lead in everything; so there is no chance of their wishing for a Sunday-school." "I have never done anything to make them follow my lead, as you call it, Miss Galindo," said my lady, gravely. "Yes, you have," replied Miss Galindo, bluntly.
In comparable dollars, the average income of the American family has doubled during the past 26 years. Now, I want to speak very bluntly. I've got bad news, and I don't expect much, if any, applause. The American people want action, and it will take both the Congress and the President to give them what they want. Progress and solutions can be achieved, and they will be achieved.
I came to see if I could lend you a hand." "You know I don't mean that. What are you after, here in the mountains?" His voice was surly with truculence. King grew angry and burst out bluntly: "The devil take you, Andy Parker. I wanted to help you. If you don't take my interference kindly, I'll be on my way." He turned to be off. Why the man was not already dead from that fall he did not know.
"That Montgomery-Ward cowpuncher has been drunk again, evidently," he commented. "I wouldn't call him that. I'm told he can rope and ride with any of them." He looked at her quickly. "You seem to keep track of him." She replied bluntly: "He interests me." "Why?" curtly. Canby looked malicious as he added: "He's a fizzle." "He'll get his second wind some day and surprise you." "He will?"
"He just came along an' wanted work. He's green as they make 'em, but willin', an' he's got good sense, too." "I'd go slow 'bout takin' strangers in," said the big man bluntly. "Shucks!" retorted the Dean. "Some of the best men I ever had was strangers when I hired 'em. Bein' a stranger ain't nothin' against a man. You and me would be strangers if we was to go many miles from Williamson Valley.
But the people were not a little puzzled when Bob Bowie, the office porter, told them that their young master was going away for three months to chase the sun! "Chase the sun, Bob! what d'ye mean?" said one. "I don't know wot I mean; I can only tell ye wot I say," answered Bowie bluntly.
Let me see." Esmé pondered. "Hugh Merritt," she decided. Kathleen kept her eyes steady ahead, but a flood of color rose in her face. "I had an awful fight over it with him before before I gave in," she said. "Are you going to marry Hugh?" demanded Esmé bluntly. The color deepened until even the velvety eyes seemed tinged with it. "I don't know. He isn't exactly popular with Pop, either."
