"I think I can manage it for you for to-morrow fortnight," said John the Clerk impressively, and there was some clapping of hands, quickly suppressed by Cæsar, with mutterings of "Popery! clane Popery, sir! Can't a person commit matrimony without a parson bothering a man?" Then Cæsar squared his elbows across the table and wrote the letter to Philip. Pete never stood sponsor for anything so pious.
He did not perceive Elizabeth, who, hidden behind, was kneeling to arrange something in the chiffonnier, till she rose up and proceeded to fasten the parlor shutters. "Hollo! are you there? Come, I'll do that when I go to bed. You may 'slope' if you like." "Eh, Sir." "Slope, mizzle, cut your stick; don't you understand. Any how, don't stop here, bothering me."
Rabelais solves the grave problem of the goodliness of Friar John's nose by the comprehensive formula, "Because God willed it so"; and it is well for us in most cases to enjoy Shakspeare in the same pious way, to smell a rose without bothering ourselves about its having been made expressly to serve the turn of the essence-peddlers of Shiraz. We yield the more credit to Mr.
When the "bothering old woman" looked like that, she generally bothered him before he was much older. And Sir Godfrey, like many others of his species, detested being bothered. He soon found that fate remembered him. As he was going up to bed that night, he found Perrote waiting for him on the landing. "Sir, pray you a word," said she. Sir Godfrey stood sulkily still.
I can't imagine why one should not go and sit about in people's rooms, without bothering them and without their bothering you to say all these stereotyped things. Quietly go in, sit down, look at your man until you have seen him enough, and then go. Why not? Let me once more insist that this keeping up a conversation is a sign of insecurity, of want of confidence.
And no man ever tried it twice. Up here how different. I don't have to think of such things." "I have to think of settling you in life," said Gaviller gloomily. "There is no one for you up here." "I'm not bothering my head about that," said Colina. She went on with a kind of splendid insolence: "Every man wants me. I'll choose one when I'm ready. I can't see anything in men except as comrades.
Come on up to camp." On a mango-shaped knoll thirty miles from Gatun that will also soon be lake bottom, we found a native shack transformed into the headquarters of a scientific expedition. We sat down to a frontier lunch which called for none of the excuses made for it by Y when he appeared in his dripping full-dress and joined us without even bothering to change his water-spurting shoes.
He did not mind the shape of Schneider's skull, or the hint of goose-step in Schneider's gait; but he minded, very much, the kind of interest that Schneider took in French Eva. He told me that, straight, emphasizing his statements with a rusty spanner, which he wielded in a curious, classical way, like a trident. According to him, Schneider was bothering the life out of the girl.
Then he crawled over to a flat stone and sat down on it, and cried, and felt of himself to see if he was injured anywhere; and he did not feel at all like bothering with his bear-ladder any more, or eating molasses, either. "But that was quite early in the day, and after Cousin Redfield had sat there awhile he didn't feel so discouraged.
"It distracts your thoughts and dissipates your energy. It impairs your judgment, lessens your will power. It's for persons who have no ambition or who have achieved it. For the struggler there's nothing worth bothering with that doesn't take him forward." "That's a pretty cold-blooded doctrind," declared the shocked herder. "If 'twant for love "
