"Oh, yes," replied Donald, "and I like them all; but my calf seems just a little nicer than the rest. I know it isn't any better, really, but I like to think it is my very own." They stopped to watch the pigeons circling about the pigeon house. "I love to watch the pigeons," said Susie. "See all the pretty colors in their feathers!" "Are they very wild?" asked Uncle Robert.
Indeed I should prefer ten times to read your letters than all the vines of Gaurus or the Marsians; for these Signian vines have grapes too rank and fruit too sharp in the taste, but I prefer wine to must for drinking. Besides, those grapes are nicer to eat dried than fresh-ripe; I vow I would rather tread them under foot than put my teeth in them.
Nice smell these soaps have. Pure curd soap. Time to get a bath round the corner. Hammam. Turkish. Massage. Dirt gets rolled up in your navel. Nicer if a nice girl did it. Also I think I. Yes I. Do it in the bath. Curious longing I. Water to water. Combine business with pleasure. Pity no time for massage. Feel fresh then all the day. Funeral be rather glum. Yes, sir, the chemist said.
Maybe we'll get promoted to the folding-room soon, and it will be much nicer there." "It isn't a bit nicer. It's work anywhere, and I hate work. I never mean to do a bit of it that I can help. Ma says pa'll have money enough to make us all rich, and I want to be a lady." "Ma" had been a factory-girl herself, which was perhaps one reason why Bertie despised the business.
In her more thoughtful moments she told herself that it would not be well. But still the allurement was strong upon her. Park Lane was sweeter than the Fifth Avenue. Lord Silverbridge was nicer than the bank clerk. But Dolly Longstaff was not. She would certainly prefer the bank clerk to Dolly Longstaff.
"Few works," it has been observed by one of his biographers, "exhibit a nicer perception, or more delicate delineation of life and manners. Wit, humor, and sentiment pervade every page; the vices and follies of the day are touched with the most playful and diverting satire; and English characteristics, in endless variety, are hit off with the pencil of a master."
He'll make a much nicer widower than he will a husband!" She looked up and smiled, but he felt as if she was keeping him at arm's length. "It's Mr. Varick who's outside the door and who wants to come in and see you," he said suddenly, in a matter-of-fact voice. Bubbles turned her head away quickly. "Not to-night, doctor; I'm too tired."
If there was a nicer place TO go, argues the minister, 'twould help the moral tone of the community consider'ble. 'Why not, says he to Stingy Gabe, 'start a free club for men that'll make the billiard room look like the tail boat in a race? And says Gabe: 'Bully! I'll do it." Captain Stitt paused long enough to enjoy a chuckle all by himself.
If we had lots of money and pretty clothes and things like the rest of them, they wouldn't care. Look at you! You're nicer than any of them, but they don't have any more to do with you than with me. It's because we're poor." "I don't believe it's that, Zara. They know that I haven't got time to play with them, and that I can't ask them here, or go to their houses if they ask me. Some time "
I've tried doing as other and nicer girls do but it wearies me to the point of distraction. Their lives are so pale, so empty, so full of pretensions. They have always seemed so. When I used to romp like a boy my elders told me it was an unnatural way for little girls to play. But I kept on romping. If it hadn't been natural I shouldn't have romped.
