By the by, sir, if you want any curiously fine mustard, I can procure you some pots quite capital, a great favour, though, they were smuggled from France, especially for the use of the late Lady Waddilove." "Thank you," said Linden, dryly; "I shall be very happy to accept anything you may wish to offer me." Mr. Brown took a pocket-book from his pouch. "Six pots of mustard, sir, shall I say six?"
He drove the team furiously at an unguarded log bridge which was barely wide enough to let the wheels pass. "It's quite a way to the lake yet, and we want to make the camp before it's dark," he explained. "Know anything about sailing a boat?" Weston said that he did, and Stirling nodded. "That's good," he observed somewhat dryly, "so does the major man."
With these hopes, Kate was only moderately sorry to leave the sea and pine-trees behind her, and find herself once more steaming back to London, carrying in her hand a fine blue and white travelling-bag, worked for her by her two little friends, but at which Lady Barbara had coughed rather dryly.
"You have something better than fame in your house," said Canalis; "you have beauty, if I am to believe Ernest." "Yes, a good daughter; but you will find her rather countrified," said Charles Mignon. "A country girl sought by the Duc d'Herouville," remarked Canalis, dryly. "Oh!" replied Monsieur Mignon, with the perfidious good-humor of a Southerner, "I leave my daughter free.
"I suppose you see a good deal of Miss Randolph Miss Adele, I think you call her?" he remarked tentatively, and with a certain boyish enthusiasm, which she had never conceived possible to his nature. "Yes," she replied a little dryly, "she is the only young lady there." She stopped, remembering Adele's naive description of the man before her, and said abruptly, "You know her, then?"
"Come, take her off, can't some of ye?" said Haley, dryly; "don't do no good for her to go on that ar way." The old men of the company, partly by persuasion and partly by force, loosed the poor creature's last despairing hold, and, as they led her off to her new master's wagon, strove to comfort her.
I wish a thunder-storm would come and wash this away, and that, and the whole lot of 'em!" As he spoke he tossed away first the mended boots, then the hammer, and last of all the three-legged stool, away, as far as he could throw them, down into the meadow. He was white with rage. "What stuff!" said Blasi, dryly. "You are paid for your cobbling; you are better off than I am.
He dismounted before his hall-door, therefore, with the discontent of a man who had lost nearly 15,000 pounds. Feltram was upon the steps, and laughed dryly. "What do you laugh at?" asked Sir Bale tartly. "You've won, haven't you?" "Yes, I've won; I've won a trifle." "On the horses I named?" "Well, yes; it so turned out, by the merest accident." Feltram laughed again dryly, and turned away.
"Well, you might think of it again when you want a little extra colour," commented the old man dryly, but with an approving glance. As her eyes met his shyly, noting how the quizzical smile softened his rather grim features, she realised his resemblance to his son. Simultaneously Sir Charles became for her a human being. Up till now he had been merely a "case."
He mutely referred to his watch, which he already held in his hand, and then put it back in his pocket. "Well! we found her!" "Francisco," interrupted the priest with a single stride, laying his hand upon Cranch's arm, and staring into his eyes. Mr. Cranch quietly removed Father Pedro's hand.
