Or are you a student or a professional or something?" "Hobby," she said and went back to work. The judge bent over her table. "Nice," he said. Rhiannon said nothing, and he retreated. Joe avoided her eyes. He could feel her glance, and he was starting to grin. One morning she asked for the bathroom key. The gal behind the counter tossed the key toward the bathroom door.
"Go on," said the professor. "You can't speak evil enough of it, say what you will. But I say, both of you I won't bother you much with my hobby what a falling off there is everywhere; what a difference between the cities of the rule of the past, with their magnificent palaces and temples, or even the simple, majestic grandeur of the pyramids, and the buildings of the modern inhabitants!
Monsieur d'Agreste was beginning to wake up; his eyes, hitherto, alone had been alive; his hands had been busy, crunching his bread; but his tongue had been silent. "Ah h science! Science is only another anaesthetic it merely helps to kill time. It is a hobby, like any other," was the countess's rejoinder. "Perhaps," courteously returned Monsieur d'Agreste, with perfect sweetness of temper.
But these fees are open to a conjuror of any nationality, and I am confident that the interest the European takes in his hobby has more to do with his superiority than education and large fees. The ruling Princes of India are very fond of watching a clever conjuror and can pay enormous fees, but no Indian conjuror appears to appeal to them.
It was a hobby of mine, Miss Deane, to make myself acquainted with the best means of victualing my men and keeping them in good health under all sorts of fanciful conditions and in every kind of climate, especially under circumstances when ordinary stores were not available.
Invaluable, to a "man of genius" mounted on his hobby! One's "stanza" can be polished at this rate. In return for these Russian sons of Anak, Friedrich Wilhelm grudged not to send German smiths, millwrights, drill-sergeants, cannoneers, engineers; having plenty of them.
Mike's statement that he wanted to get up early and have a ride had been received by Psmith, with whom early rising was not a hobby, with honest amazement and a flood of advice and warning on the subject.
He had discovered a "treasure" a pious, rich, elderly woman whose latest hobby was to care for at least eighteen poor Talmudists eighteen being the numerical value of the letters composing the Hebrew word for "life." Her name was Shiphrah Minsker. She belonged to one of the oldest families in Antomir, and her husband was equally well-born.
"Monsieur is writing a great archaeological work to explain these strange constructions," interposed Monsieur Martener, seeing that the deputy-judge was about to mount his hobby. Rogron came home much comforted to know that his house was in the valley. The crypts of Provins kept him occupied for a week in explorations, and gave a topic of conversation to the unhappy celibates for many evenings.
The collection and arrangement of such legends was, as long as I can remember him, his hobby; but I had never learned that his love of the marvellous and whimsical had carried him so far as to prompt him to commit the results of his enquiries to writing, until, in the character of residuary legatee, his will put me in possession of all his manuscript papers.
