After all, it isn't so bad; a happy New Year and a happy New York must be very near neighbors with you. I sometimes wish they could have continued to be so with me, for those I have learnt to live with most easily and happily are generally in New York. Our beloved artists, the goodly Club, were a host to me by themselves. I wish I could be a host to them sometimes. Well, heigho!
John Potter's sigh, it must be confessed, was also prompted, in part, by the thought that his dreams of a retired and peaceful life as a light-keeper were now destined never to be realised. Returning home one evening, somewhat wearied, he flung his huge frame into a stout arm chair by the fireside, and exclaimed, "Heigho!"
He's a regular novelist Oh! here you are, you lazy boy! 'Kiss me, Rosie. He looked as handsome as Apollo, and as cheerful. 'I wish all the world were as happy as you and me. Heigho! some poor devils, I'm afraid 'Tea or coffee, Reg? Henry James
Come, Jacobina, we will lock up the house, and go and see the quarters I have provided for you. Heigho!" As he finished his harangue, the Corporal locked the door of his cottage, and Jacobina trotting by his side, he stalked with his usual stateliness to the Spotted Dog. Dame Dorothy Dealtry received him with a clouded brow, but the man of the world knew whom he had to deal with.
But for present purposes it is sufficient to say that this jewelsmith of words was slight and dark and hook-nosed, and that his hair was thin, and that he was not ill-favored. It may be of interest to his admirers a growing cult to add that his reason for wearing a mustache in a period of clean-shaven faces was that, without it, his mouth was not pleasant to look upon. "Heigho!"
To travel down into Somersetshire, and stroll among the grass in the meadows, and the gorse on the commons, which she had not seen for twelve months; to feed the calves, and milk the cows, and gather the eggs, and ride Dapple, and tie up the woodbine, and eat syllabub in a bower; to present "great frieze coats" and "riding-hoods" to a dozen of the poorest old men and women in the parish; to hear prayers in a little grey church, through whose open windows ivy nodded, and before whose doors trees arched in vistas; to see her sweet little Prissy and Fiddy, who had taken such a fancy to her, and the vicar, and madam, and granny, and find them all perfectly agreeable, and not slighting her or doubting her because she had been a woman of fashion and an actress; and Master Rowland well disposed of elsewhere; Larks' Hall deserted by its master the brave, generous, enamoured squire heigho!
It wasn't bad interest for twelve shillings which was all the money I'd had in the year was it? Heigho! I've often wished that I could get such a chance again in this wicked world; but men are more avaricious now than they used to be in those dear early days.
I will say that, at the moment, I think it is a dead leaf.... Of course, should the Pope's staff unexpectedly begin to bud and flower ! But it mayn't indeed, it only looks at present smooth and polished and dead.... I left the army because, naturally, I didn't want to be there in case just in case the staff budded. Heigho! It is the truth. You need not look troubled," said Ian.
Still looking at the little baby face he added: "Heigho, heigho, it's bad, purty bad, but it's worse where there isn't even a dead wan!" When Anna returned she lay down on her bed, dressed as she was, and Jamie and Withero kept the vigil with the door barred. Next morning at the earliest respectable hour Withero carried the little coffin under his arm and Jamie walked beside him to the graveyard.
As I have said, no alteration in the testator's circumstances had taken place at the time the new will was executed. <i>But</i> only two days before his death, his sister, Mrs. Edmund Wilson, died; and on her will being proved it appeared that she had bequeathed to him her entire personalty, estimated at about thirty thousand pounds." "Heigho!" exclaimed Thorndyke. "What an unfortunate affair!"
