It was a breezy climb to 1110 Dupont Street; and although the street had been graded, the houses retained their airy elevation, and were accessible only by successive flights of wooden steps to the front door, which still gave perilously upon the street, sixty feet below. I now painfully appreciated Enriquez's adaptation of the time-honored joke about the second floor.
Only one of them hitherto has really stirred the world with his pen-point a prophet of the modern, preaching "Woe, woe" by psycho-physiology; in himself a breezy, burly undegenerate, with a great gray head marvellously crammed with facts and languages; now to prove himself golden-hearted and golden-mouthed, an orator touching equally to tears or laughter.
The apartment was empty, and no echoes of the words just spoken were lingering. A little later Miss Burton came down the main stair-way in her breezy, cheery manner, and his jealous fears were quieted. He joined her at once, saying that it was the unanimous wish that she should give them some music again that evening.
So great was the shock that for some moments it kept him silent, and before he could recover speech Archie had explained. "It's a birthday present from Lucille, don't you know." Mr. Brewster crushed down the breezy speech he had intended to utter. "Lucille gave me that?" he muttered. He swallowed pathetically. He was suffering, but the iron courage of the Brewsters stood him in good stead.
There are few more exhilarating things, on a breezy spring morning, than a spurt across that wonderful rus in urbe Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park for a prospective dip in the Serpentine, where, at specified hours every morning and evening, water-loving London is privileged to disport itself in its congenial element.
In summer the six or eight perennial figures stood on the breezy side of the wall in winter and in rain to leeward; but no weather was known to dislodge them. 'I had no sooner come ashore than the wind began to fly round, said the previous speaker; 'and it must have been about the time they were off Old- Harry Point.
The open air, the erect attitude, are surely better than sitting in a stuffy, enervating bedroom. The open air is distinctly healthy, hardy, simple.... The day was breezy, and there was a perpetual rustling, a going and coming in the budding trees. The network of the beeches was full of golden sunlight, and all the lower branches were shot with horizontal dashes of new-born green.
Of Sir Frances Jenkins a book might be written, for his connection with the Guides extended over nearly twenty-four years. He was one of the most accomplished soldiers who have ever served in the Indian Army and carried with him much of the breezy skill in war of Sir Harry Lumsden. Sir John McQueen also was a soldier of great renown, who afterwards commanded the Punjab Frontier Force.
Decatur Brown should have recognized it as such. But the breezy young person was so plausible, she bubbled with such enthusiasm for his heroine, that in the end he yielded. He talked of Sunday Weeks. And such talk!
To their breezy challenge, "A new home, who'll follow?" he cannot respond. Let us join this tide of travel and move sunward with some of those who take through-tickets. We can easily keep up with them now. Steam is not slower than wings, often faster. Sitting at ease, yet moved by iron muscles, we can time the coursers of the air.
