"Thankful Blossom," said Thankful a little proudly, divining with a woman's swift instinct the cause of the major's hesitation. But her triumph was checked by a new embarrassment visible in the face of the officer at the mention of her name. "Thankful Blossom," repeated the officer quickly. "You are, then, the daughter of Abner Blossom?"
"Did you make it yourself?" "I did," said the late laureate, proudly. "In what pursuit?" asked Doctor Johnson. "Poetry," said Tennyson. "I wrote 'Locksley Hall' and 'Come into the Garden, Maude." "Humph!" said Doctor Johnson. "I never read 'em." "Well, why should you have read them?" snarled Carlyle. "They were written after you moved over here, and they were good stuff.
He knows who's got money and who hasn't!" "Say, out with it!" "He'll give something!" "Not he!" "And his uncle left him a legacy! The stingy cuss!" And, finally, a penny was dug out of a deep pocket and thrown into the cup. During this time, Vitalis, without saying a word, but with his eyes following Capi, gayly played his violin. Soon Capi returned to his master, proudly carrying the full cup.
Gilbert had never seen the new king's noble brow so calm and unclouded he had never seen his eye flash so proudly and joyously, or the same sweet, buoyant smile upon his lips. But as the hostile army filed out into the plain, and Rodolph found that the enemy he had expected in front was in his rear, a deep frown for a moment dispelled his smiles. It was only for a moment.
It is the Life of the Bee over again, with no other object in it but mere existence. If this were all, there would be nothing to write on our tombstones but "Born 1800; Died 1880. He lived till then." But it is not all, because and here I strike my breast proudly because of us artists.
"I wonder if you ever will get enough to eat, John!" said Rob, reprovingly. "We have only had breakfast an hour or so. But I'm agreed that young wild goose will make a good change of diet for luncheon." He patted Skookie on the shoulder to compliment him on his skill. "Plenty times me catch-um," said Skookie, proudly, as he untangled his cords. "Plenty times my peoples come dis place."
She thought of John Hammond, the tall, strong figure, straight and square; the head so proudly carried on a neck which would have graced a Greek arena. The straight, clearly-cut features, the flashing eyes, bright with youth and hope and the promise of all good things. Yes, there was indeed a man a man in all the nobility of manhood, as God made him, an Adam before the Fall.
"Child," she said, "I have had to trust you before when I have given help to those in trouble, and you have not been wanting in discretion; yet you are but a child to trust." "If you tell me nothing I can repeat nothing," I answered proudly. "Yet you know something already. Can you keep silent entirely and under all circumstances as to what has happened since you opened the street door?"
"I knew him very well, sir," said Colonel Crawley, "and his wife, his dear little wife, sir how is she?" "She is my daughter, sir," said the old gentleman proudly, putting down the boy, and taking out his card, which he handed to the Colonel, while little Georgie went up and looked at the Shetland pony. "Should you like to have a ride?" said Rawdon minor from the saddle. "Yes," said Georgie.
We've done our bit to help Uncle Sam win the war." On Sunday "Gran'pa Jim," relieved of all worry, felt "quite himself again," as he expressed it, and the old gentleman strutted somewhat proudly as he marched to church with his lovely granddaughter beside him, although her uniform was to-day discarded for a neat tailor-suit.
