"Did yo' done put a charm on mah bresh?" asked Eradicate somewhat doubtfully. "Yes, a sort of hoodoo charm. Try it now." The darky dipped his brush in the pail of whitewash, and then began to spread the disinfectant on the sides of the coop near the top. The surplus fluid started to run down the handle, but, meeting the piece of rubber, came no farther, and dripped off on the ground.
"He must be an indifferent monk," Prosper said; "God seems not well served in such a man's life. Holy Church would be holier without him." "He is a great hunter, my lord," said Isoult. "It would certainly seem so," said Prosper grimly. "Where should I find him likeliest?" "Lord, look for him in Martle Brush." "Ah! And where is that?" "Lord, it is here by," said Isoult.
So he clambered back through the brush of oak shoots on to the sound limb, and walked slowly back to the folk to try and walk along the dead portion of the tree; but before he had progressed six feet, he began to find that it was giving way, so he descended, and then slowly creeping in and out among the dead branches, sometimes crawling under and sometimes over, he began to make his way to the spot where Fred had disappeared.
I don't speak of your marrying a man who had no money at all, for that would be too fearful to talk about; but suppose you were to take any one of the young men you might meet at Oakdale even, you'd have to live in a mean little house, and do with one or two servants, and worry yourself about the butcher's bills and brush your own dresses and drive your own horse.
"There ain't so much of it left, as you'll see when you look at your map. The Power Company owns most. Anyway, government cutting won't hurt the watershed," stated California John. As they rode forward through the trees, a half-dozen deer jumped startled from a clump of low brush and sped away. "That's more deer than I've seen in a bunch since I left Michigan," observed Bob.
The animals walked slowly with heads down nearly tripping themselves up with their long, swinging legs. The skin loosely covered the bones, but all the flesh and muscles had shrunk down to the smallest space. The meat was tough and stringy as basswood bark, and tasted strongly of bitter sage brush the cattle had eaten at almost every camp.
"It appears to me that if my boots need a sponge, your stockings and shoes stand in equal need of a brush. May you not have been philandering a little also, Monsieur Bonacieux? Oh, the devil! That's unpardonable in a man of your age, and who besides, has such a pretty wife as yours." "Oh, Lord! no," said Bonacieux, "but yesterday I went to St.
When I reached the end of the ridge, under the great dome, I heard the hounds below me, somewhat to my left. Running and plowing down through the brush I gained the edge of the bluff, just in time to see some of the hounds passing on. They had run a bear through that thicket, and if I had been there sooner I would have been fortunate. But too late!
He seized a brush and approached his canvas. One thought possessed him wholly, one desire consumed him; he strove to depict a fallen angel. This idea was most in harmony with his frame of mind. The perspiration started out upon his face with his efforts; but, alas! his figures, attitudes, groups, thoughts, arranged themselves stiffly, disconnectedly.
The debonair Fleming surprised the King by saying, "Your Majesty, it is like this" and then with a few bold strokes drew a picture. He modestly explained that he was not much of a painter "merely used a brush for his own amusement" and then made a portrait for the Minister of State that exaggerated all of that man's good points, and ignored all his failings.
