But, oh, Aunt Grizzel, how pretty she was when she was a young lady! That time that she danced with my grandfather in the great saloon. And how very nice you and Aunt Tabitha looked then, too." Miss Grizzel held her very breath in astonishment; and no doubt if Miss Tabitha had known she was doing so, she would have held hers too.
Some way, I don't think I'd like a new mother even as well as I'd like a new father; and I don't believe I'd like him very well. Of course, there are quite a lot of ladies here that Father could have. There are several pretty teachers in the schools, and some nice unmarried ladies in the church. And there's Miss Parmelia Snow. She's Professor Snow's sister.
"Irishman!" cried Alan promptly. "Well, tell your mother if you like; and Marjory can tell her uncle, and nobody else. Do you agree?" "I don't know that I shall want to tell," remarked Marjory, flushing in her turn. "It wasn't such a very nice thing for me to do."
The boat is kept far enough away to be out of the boy's reach and yet near enough to be right there in case anything happens. He has to. It seems reasonable that he should. But still and all, I don't just fancy it. Once when a badly scared man grabbed me by the arms in deep water I had the fear of drowning take hold of my soul, and it isn't a nice feeling at all.
I knew a man who had to stay in the city all summer, and in the autumn was asked to describe the character and social standing of a new family that had moved into his neighbourhood. Were they "nice people," well-bred, intelligent, respectable?
"And yet you persist in that statement?" "Yes." Throughout this and much more cross-examination, which turned again and again around the 'nice point, James sat with his hand behind his ear, his eyes fixed upon his son. He was proud of him!
Prettyman Sweet's motorboat Duchess, a very nice craft, and the larger powerboat belonging to Chet Belding and Lance Darby, named Bonnie Lass, were manned by the boys before the girls appeared. These two boats were large enough to transport both parties of campers, and would likewise tow the flotilla of canoes.
"They've been my best friends," he had said to Cardigan, "and when this nice little thing you're promising happens to me, old man, I want to go with my eyes on them." So his cot was close to the window. Nearest to him sat Cardigan. In his face, more than in any of the others, was disbelief.
How much time left?" "Twenty seconds," said Astro. "Roger smacked you after I called time." "If he did, I didn't know a thing about it. I was out." Tom managed a cold smile. "Nice punch, Roger." "Ten seconds," said Astro, stepping back off the mat. "Thanks for the compliment, Corbett." Roger eyed the other cadet speculatively. "But are you sure you want to go on?"
She had been nearly successful, so nearly that at moments she had felt sure of success. But the prize had slipped from her through her own fault. She knew well enough that it was her own fault. When a girl submits to play such a game as that, she should not stand on too nice scruples. She had told herself this many a time since; but the prize was gone.
