I listen to one, a pretty pure yellow bird, but slightly tyrannical in his treatment of the others, and he says, or seems to say: "This is good, I like it, only the old leaf is tough; the buds would be better. . . . These are certainly not so good.
He could almost have cried with pure fright. Bob had shouted after him from a window as he passed Donaldson's, to wait, so that they could walk over together; but conversation was the last thing Mike desired at that moment. He had almost reached the pavilion when one of the M.C.C. team came down the steps, saw him, and stopped dead. "By Jove, Saunders!" cried Mike. "Why, Master Mike!"
Her brain was working too hard to remember, but she certainly remembered that he had not had a moustache when he was last at home; such a fanciful little French scrap of a moustache as it was too, made of pure gold! "I rather like it, Larry!" she said, beaming at him; "quite nice!" "What? What's quite nice?" says Larry, beaming back; "oh, this?" He gave the moustache an extra upward twist.

Its calm, cold, silvery soul traversed the apartment in a stream of no great volume, for the window was narrow. After the first tremor Gerard whispered, "Courage, Denys! God's eye is on us even here."
She wore the ornaments of pure yellow gold which her great-great-grandmother had brought over from Saardam; the tempting stomacher of the olden time; and withal a provokingly short petticoat, to display the prettiest foot and ankle in the country round.
There was Laudiero an Italian "Camorrista" he had killed simply for the distinction it gave him among his countrymen and the satisfaction he felt at being known as a "bad" man a "capo maestra." There was Joseph Ferrone pure jealousy again. Hendry animal hate intensified by drink.
Penelope "arranged" it, not without another added pang of curiosity, whereupon David Kent found himself the rather embarrassed third of a silent trio gathered about the embers of the sitting-room fire. "Is it to be a Quaker meeting?" asked Penelope, sweetly, when the silence had grown awe-inspiring. Kent laughed for pure joy at the breaking of the spell.
