"If you could have only kept us waiting five minutes longer!" thought Aspel, but he only said "Come along, Phil, I'll go home with you to-night." The evening was fine frosty and clear. "Shall we walk to Nottinghill?" asked Phil. "It's a longish tramp for you, May, but that's the very thing you want." May agreed that it was a desirable thing in every point of view, and George Aspel did not object.
Rupert Bailey will accompany me, acting as the other judge." "And you want me to go round with Jukes?" "Not round," said Ralph Bingham. "Along." "What is the distinction?" "We are not going to play a round. Only one hole." "Sudden death, eh?" "Not so very sudden. It's a longish hole. We start on the first tee here and hole out in the town in the doorway of the Majestic Hotel in Royal Square.
I was once present: it was the Lord's day, and seven females and eight males composed the congregation. A woman played precentor, starting with a longish note; the catechist joined in upon the second bar; and then the faithful in a body. Some had printed hymn-books which they followed; some of the rest filled up with 'eh eh eh, the Paumotuan tol-de-rol.
The rooms were lighted by two windows, one on each side of the door, which gave to the house the appearance of having a nose and two eyes. Houses of this kind have literally got a sort of expression on if we may use the word their countenances. Square windows give the appearance of easy-going placidity; longish ones, that of surprise.
He is a wonderful man. His conversation teems with soul, mind, and spirit. Then he is so benevolent, so good tempered and cheerful, and, like William, interests himself so much about every little trifle. At first I thought him very plain, that is, for about three minutes; he is pale, thin, has a wide mouth, thick lips, and not very good teeth, longish loose-growing half- curling rough black hair.
He watched her, and tried to interpret the passion in her eyes. 'If I think it necessary, said Alma, and seemed to check herself. 'No need to say any more. I wished to put you on your guard, that's all. We've known each other for a longish time, and I've often enough felt sorry that something didn't come off you remember when.
Twenty-one years is a longish time, lad, but memory's longer, an' deeper, an' stronger than time, arter all, an' I know that her memory will go wi' me all along the way d' ye see lad: and so Barnabas," said John Barty lowering his gaze to his son's face, "so Barnabas, there y' are." "Yes, father!" nodded Barnabas, still intent upon the road.
That may not be a heraldic term, but it is a true description of him as I saw him. We watched him from the height above for what seemed a longish time. Then in haste I stole back to the desolate kraal that I might find Trooper No. 2. Had he not the chance of his life now to shoot a lion? I found him in the kraal, angry with himself and swearing at his Black Watch boy who suffered him silently.
He stood before the portrait of Daniel Kain, his father, a dark-skinned, longish face with a slightly-protruding nether lip, hollow temples, and a round chin, deeply cleft. As in all the others, the eyes, even in the dead pigment, seemed to shine with an odd, fixed luminosity of their own, and like the others from first to last of the line, it bore upon it the stamp of an imperishable youth.
He had twice passed our table, with a hesitating look; but Rothenstein, in the thick of a disquisition on Puvis de Chavannes, had not seen him. He was a stooping, shambling person, rather tall, very pale, with longish and brownish hair. He had a thin, vague beard, or, rather, he had a chin on which a large number of hairs weakly curled and clustered to cover its retreat.
