John Allen, who had sat on the door-step reading a paper a kindly faced man of middle age with a short white beard under his chin greeted them cheerfully. The withering sunlight of a day late in August fell upon the dusty street, now almost deserted. Faces at the doors and windows of the little houses were looking out at them. Two ragged boys and a ginger colored dog came running toward the wagon.
Strange that when she greeted him at the door-step on the previous evening, he had imagined that she was revealing herself to him for the first time; and again later, in the kitchen, he had imagined that she was revealing herself to him for the first time; and again, still later, in the sudden crisis at his bedroom door, he had imagined that she was revealing herself to him for the first time.
"Clara," said Conway, "I do not know when I may have another chance of asking for an answer to my question. You heard my question?" "Yes, I heard it." "And will you answer it?" "If you wish it, I will." "Of course I wish it. You understood what I said upon the door-step yesterday?" "I don't think much of that; men say those things so often. What you said before was serious, I suppose?" "Serious!
But when he came to the door he found sitting with her, in the checkered space behind the opening, Glenfernie's inamorata. Now he remembered her.... He wondered if he had truly ever forgotten her. When he had received his welcome he sat down upon the door-step. He could have touched Elspeth's skirt.
The kernel is white like the cocoanut. They wrap a bit of this kernel with a pinch of air-slacked lime in a pepper leaf, then chew, chew, all day, and in intervals of chewing they spray the vividly colored saliva on door-step, pavement and church floor. I often watched the natives climb the tall cocoanut trees, about eighty feet high, with only the fine fern-like leaves at the extreme top.
Aunt Prissy welcomed her little niece, whom she had not expected to see for weeks to come, and then turned to thank Kashaqua. But the Indian woman had disappeared. The bundle containing Faith's clothing lay on the door-step, but there was no trace of her companion.
"It belonged to my great-grandfather: take it, but you will let me redeem it; I will give L. 5 for it poor as I am: you can leave it on my door-step, and I'll leave the L. 5." "Stow your gab. Letters; papers covered with figures. Stay, what is this? a lot of memoranda." "They are of the most private and delicate character. Pray do not expose my family misfortunes." And Mr.
At every window sat one; on every door-step sprawled a bunch of down; and frequently the eye of the tabby-loving spinster was gladdened by the touching spectacle of a blonde mamma in the bosom of her young family.
Next morning, you may be sure, the news was all over the town of Chapelizod. All sorts of cross rumours and wild canards, of course, were on the wind, and every new fact or fib borne to the door-step with the fresh eggs, or the morning's milk and butter, was carried by the eager servant into the parlour, and swallowed down with their toast and tea by the staring company.
My soul went forth in a paean of joy, for, exactly as the perfect circle of a flying scrawl bespoke Giotto, this action bespoke Stewart of Kooltopa, now masquerading under a pair of strange horses. Here was my opportunity. Figuratively, I would put Alf in a basket, with a note pinned to his bib, and leave him on Stewart's door-step.
