The little couple were delighted, and the Greggorys were scarcely less so when they at last became convinced that only a very little more money than they were already paying would give themselves a much pleasanter home, and would at the same time be a real boon to two young people who were trying to meet expenses.
I am afraid I am no authority on butter and milk, and groceries I do not know the prices of; but coffee ought to be cheap, for nobody drinks anything but substitutes more or less unabashed. For the passing stranger, or even the protracted so-journer, whose time and money are not too much at odds, a hotel is best, and a hotel in the new quarter is pleasanter than one in the old quarters.
"Me, too?" said Prudy, echoed by Dotty. "Only Susy," replied their father; "she may go if she likes." Susy very much wondered what her father was going to do. As they approached the shop, she saw, standing at the door, the man whose face looked as if it had been "rubbed on a pen-wiper." "Mr. Grimes," said Mr. Parlin, in a pleasanter manner than Susy thought was at all necessary, "Mr.
"Thank you, but I have already spoken to Piero to come for us." "Oh, but we can send him away. You will find my carriage more comfortable, and it will be in every way pleasanter," he urged beseechingly; but my negative was peremptory. Eight o'clock came. Miss St. Clair and I descended to the court of the hotel, but where was Piero? "It is singular.
Before marrying him Transita told him frankly that she felt incapable of great affection for him; he cared nothing for that, he only wished, like the animal he was, to possess her for her beauty. Shortly after marrying her he took her to Europe, knowing very well that a man with a full purse, and whose spirit is a compound of swine and goat, finds life pleasanter in Paris than in the Plata.
"It’s good enough, and if it don’t suit Lady Tempest, she can go to the hoss barn; that’s just fit for ’em." "Then, father," said Fanny, "do it for my sake. It would please me to have a pleasanter parlor." This was sufficient. A well-filled purse was placed in Fanny’s hands, with liberty to do as she pleased.
And when I dream about him, he looks a little the way he does other times, but he's taller and he's better-looking in the face, and he looks stronger and brighter and healthier like. And he speaks to me, and his voice is lower and pleasanter in the sound of it. And that's the way he'ld be, I know, if he had his health, poor child, and if everything was right with him.
He said that if there was one thing that he liked to see more than another it was "a gang of men working." But he complained that they ought to work in the daytime, when the sun was shining, because then it would have been "much pleasanter for him." "Don't you want to help us?" asked the brisk fellow who had told Grandaddy Beaver that he thought Timothy Turtle ought to go to work.
Shall I bring them here? It will be pleasanter than being stared at in a crowded supper room." She was surprised, but the relief in her tone was unmistakable. "I don't want any supper," she said. "I shall be glad to meet your relatives, of course, though " "Though you think I might have mentioned them sooner? Well, the strangest part of the business is that they should be in New York at all.
"I am very sorry," she might say, "to have to keep you in the house. It would be much pleasanter for you to go out and play in the yard, if it was only safe. I don't blame you very much for running away. It is what foolish little children, as little as you, very often do. I suppose you thought it would be good fun to run out a little way in the street.
