"Get out of this," said Bullard crisply, and stood away from the door. "Really," said the visitor with an absurdly pained look, "this is a very unkind reception." He was a small individual of dark complexion, leering eyes and vulgar mouth. His clothing was respectable, if not fashionable; he displayed a considerable amount of starched linen of indifferent lustre. "Get out!"

As we passed into the full sunshine and no sunshine is so crisply golden as the Martian amongst twined flowers and shrubs and gay, quaint birds building in the cornices, a sleek youth rose slowly from where he had spread his cloak as couch upon a step and approaching asked "You are the stranger of yesterday?" "Yes," I answered.

Budge, will there be enough food for some extra ones I've invited or I'm going to invite?" Budge dropped her spoon. "Well, no one ever went hungry in this house," she answered crisply. "May I ask who your guests are?" Budge permitted herself the pleasure of a meaning inflection on the "your."

An egg, all golden, and white, and crisply brown at the frilly edges, lay on his plate. Theodore always ate his egg in a mathematical sort of way. He swallowed the white hastily first, because he disliked it, and Mrs. Brandeis insisted that he eat it. Then he would brood a moment over the yolk that lay, unmarred and complete, like an amber jewel in the center of his plate.

But things which need to be crisply fresh, such as celery and lettuce, must be let severely alone. Stuffed Eggs: Staple for picnics, and barbecues. Boil twenty minutes, throw instantly in cold water, and shell immediately. Halve, mash yolks while hot with a plentiful seasoning of butter, pepper, salt, a little onion juice, capers or bigger pickle finely minced, and pimentos cut small.

His voice carried well on the morning air, and various phrases, to which he gave the full meed of emphasis, floated to me on the gentle breeze. "That peerless pleader and Prince of Gentlemen," came crisply to my ears. Eustace appeared to be restive, but the Colonel, through caution, or, perhaps, mere friendliness, had moored him by a coat lapel.

How're we going to have a fire when my matches are all gone and Rod's matches. . . ." "Mr. Norton," Virginia cut in crisply, "in spite of your friend's talk and in spite of the bluff he is putting up he is pretty badly hurt. You give me some sort of a light, I don't care if they see it down at San Juan, or you shoulder the responsibility. Which is it?"

He put his hand to his mouth and whispered a name. An incredulous expression came into Barnes's eyes. "Are you jesting with me, O'Dowd?" "I am not." "But I thought it was nothing more than a make-believe, imaginary land, cooked up by some hair-brained novelist for the purpose of " "Well, ye know better now," said O'Dowd crisply. "Good-bye. I must be on my way.

And some of us oh, just because we haven't the sand and backbone, I guess!" But Barbara was too nearly asleep to catch the bitterness of that reply. Just once again, before she slept, she asked a question. "Should I have told Mr. O'Mara that my engagement to Archibald Wickersham was to be announced at the party?" she murmured. "Why should you have?" Miriam crisply wanted to know.

She was not dark in color but brightly golden; a gold, it must be said in all honesty, her own, a metallic gold crisply and solidly marcelled; with hazel-brown eyes, and a mouth which, set against her daughter's deep-blue gaze, was her particular attraction.
