the first sentence smote him "Paleontologically the periods are characterized by absence of the large marine saurians, Dinosaurs and Pterosaurs " "eh?" gasped Barton. "Why, of course!" called Edgarton, a bit impatiently, from the window. Laboriously Barton went back and reread the phrase to himself. "Oh oh, yes," he conceded lamely. "Paleontologically," he began all over again.
You may guess, old chap, that I'll have a fine long holiday at that rate, if if the governor don't get to hear about it, of course! ended Alick rather lamely. 'Oh! Ned gasped understandingly. He could readily enough picture the result of the captain's taking up the matter. Fireworks would be nothing to the general flare-up, in that case, the fisher-lad privately told himself.
She is that grateful she'd cut off her hands to oblige you, an' she will be powerful happy when she knows this went through all right. Good night, Miss Dolly; good night, Mr. Mostyn." Dolly and her companion turned back toward the house as Barnett trudged off down the road. "Well, I'm glad it came out all right," Mostyn said, lamely; but Dolly, still listless, made no reply.
"Oh, well," she said at last, as calmly as she could. "I daresay we should have managed. I mightn't have come. But I've come, and you had all these beautiful things ready; and...." Her courage to be severe abruptly failed; and lamely she concluded: "And it's simply like fairyland.... I'm ever so happy." Keith grinned again, showing perfect white teeth.
"He ain't as purty as he thinks he is by a long shot," Dixie remarked, rather lamely, for she was slightly chilled by Henley's failure to comment favorably on the picture, "but he has a good heart. He is a church member in fair standing, and has a Bible class of young ladies in Sunday-school, and was once proposed for superintendent, and lost out because he was unmarried and too young.
What malice began, my ardour perfected, until, engrossed in my fancy, I came near to forgetting that I had a listener, and ended with a start as I found Barbara's eyes fixed on mine, while she stood motionless before me. My exultation vanished, and confusion drove away my passion. "You bade me describe her," said I lamely. "I do not know whether others see as I do, but such is she to my eyes."
"Oh, I'm sure it will turn out all right," she replied. "Now you'd better run along, I know you're late." "I am late," I admitted, rather lamely. "If you don't care for Lammerton's drawings, we'll get another architect." Several years before Mr. Lammerton had arrived among us with a Beaux Arts moustache and letters of introduction to Mrs. Durrett and others.
Vive la joie! Do not frown. We will send for more wine," she said, looking at him with her ridiculous, languishing air. "No, no, I am afraid " He broke off, fearing to betray himself, and concluded lamely, "It would not agree with me I am not accustomed to wine." He rose from his seat, and his hostess followed his example. "Good-bye, for ever," he said. "No, no," she cried.
It seems to have got laid away somewheres, an' I'm afraid we're goin' to miss that train as sure as anything." He ended up lamely, making the polite alteration out of respect for the Duke's dignity. Miss Weir marched into the kitchen. It was a scene of wild disorder. "Hello!" giggled Miss Long. "We're having an awful time. Hannah ain't ready, of course." "Isn't ready, Ella Anne."
"We'll miss them yet!" firing after him with an oath. The pistol missed, flashed in the pan. "Wet!" dashing it on the ground. "Fire, Gaunt! quick!" The man looked round; he ran lamely, a thick, burly figure, a haggard face. Gaunt's pistol fell. Dode's father! the only man that loved him! "Damn you!" shouted Dyke, "are you going to shirk?" Why, this was the work!
