He gets 'elegantly intoxicated' at your parties; he goes off to sup with Gauche Boosey; you and Mrs.
Abraham Boosey was noisily declaring that he had "cartlods more o' thim greens" to come, and Muggins, who had had some beer, was stumbling cheerfully against the pews in his efforts to bring a huge load of fir branches to the foot of Mr. Thomas Reid's long ladder.
"Why, you are really enthusiastic about the Emperors," said the Ambassador. "Certainly," replied Mr. Boosey, "I have always been a great Neapolitan." Kurz Pacha stared at him a moment, and then took a large pinch of snuff solemnly. I think it's very ill bred to stare as he does sometimes, when somebody has made a remark. I saw nothing particular in that speech of Mr.
I think it was very hard she wouldn't be amused by such a funny man; and he said at last aloud to her, meaning all of us to hear: "Well, Mrs. Gnu, upon my honor, it is no epicure to try to console you." She did laugh at this, however, and so did the others. "Have you ever been in Sennaar, Mr. Boosey?" said Kurz Pacha. "No; why?" "Why, I thought we might have learned English at the same school."
There's old Dick over in that bed there; he used to go 'mumping, and when he got boosey with too much lush he stole some paltry thing or other, and being so often convicted they have 'legged' him at last. They can't make an honest living, and can't make a living by thieving; but, you know, it's different with you.
"Yes," said that witty Gauche Boosey, "permit me, Miss Tattle, quite an incarnate seraphim, upon my word." "You are too good," replied I, "my dear Polly, it is your dress which deserves admiration, and I flatter myself in saying so, for it is the very counterpart of one I had made some months ago." "Yes, darling, and which you have not yet worn," replied she. "I said to Mr. P., 'Mr.
From the ages of ten to fourteen years such books as Boosey's National Songs or Songs of Britain should be the staple work, while for older children the great classical songs may be added. A good book for these is the Golden Treasury, published by Boosey. Songs by living composers should be strictly limited in number, though not excluded. These have not stood the test of time.
Potiphar betrays the heat in her face," said the Pacha, "which however, is merely a becoming carnation, Madame," concluded he, sinking his voice, and rubbing his hands. At that moment in the box opposite, I saw our friends, Mr. Boosey and Mr. Firkin. By their sides sat two such handsome women! They wore a great quantity of jewelry, and had the easiest, most smiling faces you ever saw.
Duesseldorf's there, and he said no, why, of course, as he is my favorite, and I know more of his works than I do of any others, I didn't go. There are some very pretty things there, Mr. Boosey says. But ladies have no time for such matters. Do you know, the other evening we went to the ball at the Tuileries, and oh! it was splendid.
Before he could answer, Boosey and Mrs. Potiphar stopped by us. "No, no, Mr. Boosey," panted Mrs. P., "I will not have him introduced. They say his father actually sells dry goods by the yard in Buffalo." "Well, but he doesn't, Mrs. Potiphar.
