"I think Mollie's grandmother would be more pleased with a gift of that kind than with one of the useless little fallals that children give their grandparents on Christmas Day. What did she give her last year?" The question was opportune, for it gave Mrs. Carraway a chance to laugh outright with some other ostensible object than her husband.
I ought to have said outright, "I'll have nothing to do or say with anyone who is a friend or an acquaintance of Courtenay Ivor's." And yet, to have said so would have been to give up the game for lost. It would have been to proclaim that I had come out to Canada as Courtenay Ivor's enemy. I wasn't fit, that was the fact, for my self-imposed task of private detective.
Dame Annora was sure her poor son would be murdered outright this time, and that nobody cared because he was only HER son; and she strove hard to stir up Sir Marmaduke to remonstrate with her father; but the good knight had never disputed a judgment of 'my Lord's' in his whole life, and had even received his first wife from his hands, when forsaken by the gay Annora.
Where do you think you are going? Who do you want to see?" "I don't know exactly." During this interchange of words, the office-boy had been scanning Bob and his threadbare clothes contemptuously. And at the lad's reply, he laughed outright, adding: "Well, if you don't know who you want to see, you can't come in here." "But I want to get a pass for Fairfax, Oklahoma," protested Bob.
Titmouse added: "I've a lot of fine summer apples I gathered yesterday. I'll let you have three for five cents." This attempt at petty trade, almost in the guise of hospitality, struck Dick as being so utterly funny that he could not help laughing outright. "Thank you, Mr. Titmouse," he replied. "I don't believe I'll eat any apples just now."
Yet even then my deed would remain, for I dare not ask that she should die outright also that would be to heap wrong upon wrong. What an awful thing being is! Not even my annihilation could make up for my crime, or rid it out of the universe." "True, Leopold!" said the curate. "Nothing but the burning love of God can rid sin out of anywhere.
'It is not there that my soul is, answered the giant. 'Under the threshold is a stone, and under the stone is a sheep, and in the sheep's body is a duck, and in the duck is an egg, and in the egg is my soul. But it is late, and I must feed the horses; and he brought them the hay, but they only bit and kicked him as before, and if his soul had been within him, they would have killed him outright.
An' ef you'll jest say you'll furgiv' me, I'll go down on my knees. There now, Miss Agony, ain't that 'nuff? Ef it ain't, why I'll do whatever you say fur me to do." The fellow pulled off his hat, and set himself in such a ludicrously woebegone attitude, that Miss Arnold had great difficulty in restraining herself from laughing outright.
There was silence for a moment. If the thing had not been so serious, Charley must have laughed outright. If he but disclosed his identity, how easy to dispose of this silly charge! He did not reply at once, but looked calmly at the Abbe. In the pause, the Seigneur added "I forgot to add that the man had a brown beard. You have a brown beard, Monsieur." "I had not when I arrived here."
His name is David," chanted the boys, as if they were a comic-opera chorus. David laughed outright. "Oh, sing it again, sing it again!" he crowed. "That sounded fine!" The boys stared, then sniffed disdainfully, and cast derisive glances into each other's eyes it appeared that this little sissy tramp boy did not even know enough to discover when he was being laughed at!
