Afterward, when he was loping steadily down the coulée bottom with his fresh-made tracks pointing the way before him, he broke out irrelevantly and viciously: "A real, old range rider yuh can bank on, one way or the other but damn a pilgrim!"
"And there are no more passionate lovers of home than these tent-women, or more hospitable people." "Do these date-trees bear fruit?" Millicent asked the practical question irrelevantly. Her mind was charged with new interests, while her eyes looked at the soaring trees. The tent-dwellers interested her. She would like to have questioned them about all sorts of intimate subjects. "Rather!
He has to be in by seven o'clock now," said Winsome, smiling. "Wha's ben wi' yer grandfaither?" after a pause, Mistress Skirving asked irrelevantly. "Only Mr. Welsh from the manse," said Winsome. "I suppose he came to see grandfather about the packet I took to the manse a month ago. Grandmother, why does Mr. Welsh come so seldom to Craig Ronald?" she asked.
And dat 's how-come," finished Emma, irrelevantly, "dat 's how-come I mighty glad we 's gwine to furrin folkses' countries, whichin I hopes to Gawd dey 's a mighty long way off fum dat gal." And Peter's heart echoed Emma's sentiments so fully that he couldn't find it in him to reprove her for giving utterance to them. With a sense of relief, he watched New York receding from his sight.
But all things can happen in dreams. It is indeed as the Sweet Singer of Michigan says irrelevantly, of course, for the one and unfailing great quality which distinguishes her poetry from Shakespeare's and makes it precious to us is its stern and simple irrelevancy: My heart was gay and happy, This was ever in my mind, There is better times a coming, And I hope some day to find Myself capable of composing, It was my heart's delight To compose on a sentimental subject If it came in my mind just right.
His eyes again caught the cross and heart on Detricand's coat, and they lighted up a little. "The Lord hath triumphed gloriously," he repeated, and added irrelevantly, "I suppose you are almost a captain now?" "A general almost," said Detricand with gentle humour. At that moment an orderly appeared at the tent-door, bearing a letter for Detricand.
"You did not tell me she was grown-up like everybody else," she answered irrelevantly. "Oh, there's a lot of difference even between grown-up people, as I will presently show you," said Paul. "Meanwhile, before you talk to Sally, we'll get you into the cottage." "Shall you carry me, like daddy? I can walk on crutches, but it hurts me rather," said Kitty.
"Water power or steam?" said Scattergood, somewhat irrelevantly. "Both. We're putting in steam engines and boilers, but we're going to depend mostly on water power." "Goin' to build a dam, eh? Big dam?" "Yes." "Um!... Stock company?" "Yes. We'll be solid. Capitalized for a quarter of a million and bonded for a quarter of a million. Gives us half a million capital to start business."
As he spoke the town bell rang the hour; unconsciously, perhaps, the two men paused until the last reverberating stroke had spent itself in the snowy distance. "Six o'clock," observed Mr. Shrimplin. "Good night, Shrimp," replied North irrelevantly. He turned away and an instant later was engulfed in the wintry night. Having at last pointed Bill's head in the right direction Mr.
The man shirked a reply to this question also. "Sir Hubert did not treat me over well," he observed irrelevantly. "I fear that has nothing to do with me, Mr. Silver." "And I was dimissed from my post," he went on imperturbably. "On Mr. Jarwin's advice," she informed him quickly. "There was no need for you to be retained. But I believe that you were given a year's salary in lieu of notice."
