A few men are in silks; numbers of coolies, with loads, are almost naked, but more, of a slightly higher order, are in rags; for the Chinese, unlike their scrupulously clean brethren of Japan, appear to pile on one tattered, greasy cloth rag over another until they are a bundle of filth, against which you fear at every step lest you may be pushed.
But only because I shall be the only one to do it. If the whole school took Friday off, they couldn't do much. They couldn't sack the whole school." "By Jove, nor could they! I say!" They walked on, Neville-Smith's mind in a whirl, Wyatt whistling. "I say," said Neville-Smith after a pause. "It would be a bit of a rag." "Not bad." "Do you think the chaps would do it?"
David also noticed the noise and started, holding the watch in his left hand and the rag covered with chalk in his right. What was that shrill shriek? It was my aunt screaming. And that? That is my father's voice, hoarse with anger. "The watch! the watch!" some one cries, probably Trankwillitatin.
"You see, there's a shelf of rock here. No sign left for our eyes, because the warm sun has dried up any wet marks he made. But Ajax has caught the same scent as there was on that rag." "And we're off again. Hurrah!" cried Steve, delighted to know that the clever tactics of the pelt thief could not prevail against that keen sense of smell possessed by the hound.
"Much good may it do ye," she said. "Thank ye kindly, 'Liza, sit down an' haave a bowl of broth!" It was baled out and Eliza sat down on the floor near the window. McGrath, the rag man, "dhrapped in." "Much good may it do ye!" he said. "Thank ye kindly, Tom," Anna said, "ye'll surely have a bowl ov broth." "Jist wan spoonful," McGrath said.
The man in whose hands it lay to shame them, their Colonel, their Adjutant, their Regiment, and their Service, had cast away all shadow of his legal rights for the sake of a common or bear-garden rag such a rag as if it came to the ears of the authorities, would cost him his commission. They were saved, and their saviour was their equal and their brother.
On the other hand the advanced orthodox party, most bitter haters of Barneveld, and whom in his correspondence with England he uniformly and perhaps designedly called the Puritans, knowing that the very word was a scarlet rag to James, were growing louder and louder in their demands.
Ranger lost much time in the bramble maze, and the scent was very poor when he got it straightened out, and came to D. Here he began to circle to pick it up, and after losing much time, struck the trail which ended suddenly at G. Again he was at fault, and had to circle to find the trail. Wider and wider circles, until at last, he passed right under the log Rag was on.
They own the political parties, and they name the candidates, and trick you into voting for them and they call it the law! They herd you into armies and send you to shoot your brothers and they call it order! They take a piece of coloured rag and call it the flag and teach you to let yourself be shot and they call it patriotism!
The frock coat had been "restored," the rag cap was abandoned in favour of a limp bell-topper, contributed by the family of a benevolent clergyman, and the tan boots were artistically blacked with stove polish. Nickie the Kid warbled at his work with the innocent gaiety of a bird.
