Dust-covered and sunburned he strode into the room with a pleasant grin. "Hello, folks! Why, Marion, are you sick?" "Kind of. What luck, Dad?" "Fair. Brought in a good stallion and some weedy stuff. How's the ranch, Jimmy?" He asked this with his eyes still on his daughter. "O.K., Charleton," replied Jimmy. "You made a long trip, Charleton," said Douglas.
We shall expect you early to-morrow, and when you get that signal book through the little door on the Duke of York's steps you can put a triumphant finis to your record in England. What! Tokay!" He indicated a heavily sealed dust-covered bottle which stood with two high glasses upon a salver. "May I offer you a glass before your journey?" "No, thanks. But it looks like revelry."
At the bottom of the stairway Ali received them, conducting them into a vast chamber that had evidently once possessed great splendor, but was at present dingy and dust-covered as if it had been long deserted.
"As few as possible." In a place known only as Cagliacci's, in the dreg depths of Elizabeth street, the ringing of the telephone bell was much more startling, much more unusual than the crash of a pistol shot or the blast of a bomb. The habitu's moved quietly to the door that leads to the roofs, while Pietro Cagliacci himself wiped the dust-covered receiver on his apron and put it to his ear.
It was an ordinary European Pullman, some ten staterooms in a row, a lavatory at one end and a three-foot sofa at the other.

One of these very smartly clad in blue, received him with looks half gay, half pouting, and with a storm of talk.
She replied in the same Acadian French in which she was questioned, that there dwelt, or had dwelt, and about two weeks ago had died, "Monsieur Robichaux." The pot-hunter's paddle dipped again, his canoe shot on, and two hours later he walked with dust-covered feet into Houma.

For Mr. Bowers was on the same quest that the others had just abandoned. Like Mr. Hamlin, he had been left to his own resources, but Mr.
In an angle of the wood the dust-covered policeman and the white-capped man came upon the racer, turned a little from the road, and waiting their arrival.
