As I undressed at night, I often used to stare at this placard, wondering what connection Boonekamp could possibly have with my brother. I determined to take the first opportunity of examining the card itself. One morning, while Otto was out in the queue at the butcher's, I slipped away from the cellar to our sleeping-place and, lighting my candle, took down the card and examined it closely.
Luc approaching, and his heart throbbed as always when he was in the presence of this man. The chevalier was in a splendid uniform of white and silver unstained by the forest. His thick, fair hair was clubbed in a queue and powdered neatly, and a small sword, gold hilted, hung at his belt.
"Yes, I suppose so," replied Gillian absently, her eyes following the queue of passengers passing through the gate on the platform. By mutual consent they had come to a standstill outside it. "Then if he isn't there, what's the use of your rushing over to Paris?" protested Storran. "It's absurd an absolute wild-goose chase. You can't go!" Gillian's brown eyes came back to his face.
Moreover the interruption had distracted us, and the next half-hour passed very quickly. But gradually our physical discomfort reasserted itself. When at last the morning's drill was over we were so dispirited that we hardly felt any relief. We received the order "Dismiss," and flocked towards the mess-room where we formed a long queue.
He was not remarkable to the vision scarcely more than five feet four; with an eye like a gimlet, red hair tied in a queue, a big mouth, and a chest thrown out like the breast of a partridge as fine a figure of a man in miniature as you should see. When intoxicated, his tongue rapped out fun and fury like a triphammer.
"Aye, no doubt of that but we think we have seen his face before; can you make that out?" Roller now walked round the immovable subject of all these remarks; and he, too, began to think the singular-looking object was no stranger to him. As soon, however, as he got a sight of the queue, he struck Ithuel a smart slap on the shoulder and exclaimed: "You're welcome back, my lad!
They were well-informed and intelligent, but not expert enough for the Fact. And that, as I began to see, was partly where Hobart came in. Jane wrote cleverly, clearly, and concisely better than Johnny did. But, in these days of overcrowded competent journalism well, it is not unwise to marry an editor of standing. It gives you a better place in the queue.
And I said you would probably cut off his queue and tie him up by his spurs if he presumed to any levity. Then he said he'd tell Sir George Covert, and I said I'd tell him myself and everybody else that I loved my cousin Ormond better than anybody in the world and meant to wed him " "Dorothy!" I gasped. "Wed him to the most, beautiful and lovely and desirable maid in America!"
Girls waiting in a queue for your autograph. A galaxy of beauty prostrating itself at your feet to get an extra line." "That sounds more like musical comedy," said Eric doubtfully. "I don't fly as high as that." Geoff was too young to have outgrown the appeal of the stage. He regarded Eric with as much admiration as one brother accords another and with undisguised envy.
I wish, if you aren't too busy, you'd go into the wood and collect sticks for the fire." "I am unusually busy," I said, "and there is a long queue of clients waiting for me in the ante-room. An extremely long queue almost a half-butt in fact." I wandered into the wood alone.
