Our violinist is evidently not long come out, and has little to recommend him he employs but a second-rate tailor, wears no collar, dirty mustaches, and a tight coat; he is ill at ease, poor man, wincing, pulling down his coat-sleeves, or pulling up his braces over their respective shoulders.
General Stampoff was chewing an end of his long mustaches in impotent wrath, and Beliani merely shrugged. "Of course, my father means that prudence must be allied with boldness," broke in Alec, who had placed his mother in a chair and was now gazing sternly at Marulitch as if he would challenge the unspoken thought. "Exactly, my boy. Well said! One looks before one leaps, that is it!
"My father!" ejaculated Myles. "Aye," said Sir James, twisting his mustaches more vigorously than ever. "So soon as thy father heard of that prank, he wrote straightway to my Lord that he should put a stop to what might in time have bred mischief." "Sir," said Myles, in an almost breathless voice, "I know not how to believe all these things, or whether I be awake or a-dreaming."
"O, I know you now, my dear, dear papa," said the boy, sobbing. "I knew you by the voice but how changed you are! Why, your mustaches are turned gray." "Victor, Victor, where is your mother?" gasped the soldier. "Poor mamma!" said the boy. "Speak I charge you, boy." "She is dead." "Dead!" François fell to the ground as if a bullet had passed through his brain.
The most ardent of them in recent times has been a certain Zakurdalo-Skubyrnikof, a retired officer of the guard, a man of about thirty-eight years of age, wearing long mustaches, and possessing a singularly vigorous frame. The Frenchmen who frequent Madame Lavretsky's drawing-room call him le gros taureau de l'Ukraine.
"We both of us have mustaches! I have seduced Otto. They become us uncommonly well, and give us a very imposing air; and that is very good now that we are come into the land of banditti, where we must endeavor to awe the robbers. Thus travelled we. It was a dark night, and still as death, as in the moment when the overture begins to an opera.
He of the mustaches burst out into a jolly laugh. He had taken off his hat to the ladies of cab No. 2002. You should have seen Fanny Bolton's eyes watching after the dove-colored young lady. Immediately Huxter perceived the direction which they took, they ceased looking after the dove-colored nymph, and they turned and looked into Sam Huxter's orbs with the most artless good-humored expression.
Spanish hats, scarlet lined riding cloaks, swords and sashes, high boots and bright spurs, beards and mustaches, which made plain faces comely, and comely faces heroic; these vanities of the flesh transformed our butchers, bakers, and candlestick makers into gallant riders of gaily caparisoned horses, much handsomer than themselves; and dozens of such figures were constantly prancing by, with private prickings of spurs, for the benefit of the perambulating flower-bed.
"What sort of a man is this Corbut?" "A little man," answered Gaspard, "and very thin. He has long, black hair, and mustaches pointed like two needles." "Have you sent him out for anything?" "Oh, no; he is here." "Where?" "In one of the rooms at the front. We have parties in A and B." "You go and find him," said Nick. "I want to see him right away." Gaspard went to the front of the house.
It WAS a boy's face albeit bearded like the pard, with an extra fierceness in the mustaches that looked upon hers. She could not help bestowing a grim floury kiss upon it. "Well, what is it now?" "I'm thinking, aunty, it's high time you and me packed up our traps and 'shook' this yar shanty, and located somewhere else."
