It represents him in the bloom of youth, attired as a pilgrim, with pencil in hand and a broken Grecian column at his feet.... The next neighbor to Trinity on the north, and the next in point of size and importance in the University, is St. John's College. It has four courts, one opening into the other.
Chuck hurried to the corral while Old Heck went into the house for pencil and writing-paper. Parker and the cowboys moved in a group to the shade of the porch in front of the house. "What'll we tell them?" Old Heck asked, reappearing with writing materials. "Here, Parker, you write it."
Now, after six months' absence, he saw no change for the better; there was indeed something new which boded nothing good. His brother Fyodor, who had always been quiet, thoughtful, and extremely refined, was now running about the warehouse with a pencil behind his ear making a show of being very busy and businesslike, slapping customers on the shoulder and shouting "Friends!" to the clerks.
Kennedy took a pencil and hastily jotted down something on a piece of paper which he tossed over to me. It read: 1. Love, family trouble. A romantic disposition. Temporary insanity, self-destruction. Criminal assault. Aphasia. Kidnapping. "Those are the reasons why people disappear, eliminating criminals and those who have financial difficulties.
Aubrey Treherne sat at his writing-table, his head buried in his hands. Before him lay the closely-written sheets of his letter to Helen; beside them her pencil note which had fallen, unnoticed by Ronnie, from her letter to him. Presently Aubrey lifted his head. His face bore traces of the anguish of soul through which he had been passing.
"Well, did I ever?" said a pale and interesting-looking girl. "That is just as strange as a romance I have been reading!" "Well, they say truth is stranger than fiction. A deceitful thing to try to pass for white when she is colored! If she comes back to this school I shan't stay!" said the coarse rough girl, twirling her gold pencil. "I ain't a going to sit alongside of niggers." "How you talk!
We have noticed that when du Maurier tried to draw ugly people he often only succeeded in turning out a figure of fun. Not to be beautiful and charming is to fail of being human, seems the judgment of his pencil. This was his limitation. And another was that, whilst professing to be concerned with humanity as a whole, he nearly always broke down with types that outraged the polite standard.
Just as the owner of the ranch had said, the communication was exceedingly brief, and to the point, not an unnecessary word having been written. It was in pencil, and the handwriting was crabbed; just what one might expect of an elderly man, given over heart and soul to scientific research.
These are inhabitants of his own country; neighbours, fellow-parishioners. Their life, private and public, is lived under his eyes; but the Cigale is a stranger to the haunts of Jack Rabbit. La Fontaine had never seen nor heard her. For him the celebrated songstress was certainly a grasshopper. Grandville, whose pencil rivals the author's pen, has fallen into the same error.
On the second day we were fairly settled, and that night after the boy had gone to bed Ruth sat down at my side with a pad and pencil in her hand. "Billy," she said, "there's one thing we're going to do in this new beginning: we're going to save if it's only ten cents a week." I shook my head doubtfully. "I'm afraid you can't until I get a raise," I said.
