But in the next act Alfredo sings of the dream of his life to a pretty melody until he is interrupted by his sweetheart's maid, who tells him that his joy is at an end, and then he howls "O mio rimorso" to a march-tune of the rowdiest kind. Equally undramatic, untrue, false in feeling, are the sentimental ditties sung by Alfredo's father.
'Well, said the policeman, 'she's pawsed 'er law examination! As some of the rowdiest boys, naturally surprised at this interjection, looked round, he rubbed it in. 'Did better than the men, he assured them. Was it possible that this dread myrmidon of the law was vaunting the prowess of the small rebel? Miss Levering moved nearer. 'Is that so? Did I understand you
The soldiers indulge much in card-playing and gambling with dice-throwing and other ways. But to return to the children of Cho-sen: do you know what is the system employed by the yellow-skinned women to send their babies to sleep? They scrape them gently on the stomach! The rowdiest baby is sent to sleep in no time by this simple process.
I looked curiously at the young artist. He seemed transfigured. I could scarcely realise that an hour ago he had been among the rowdiest of the Comus crew, whose shrieks and laughter still rang all around us.
A few Russians flung themselves about to the lilt of some of their rowdiest cake-walks, while the "Marseillaise," seeming a universal favourite, was repeatedly called for. On the morning of the fourth day three weird-looking figures, wearing a queer mixture of ready-made Dutch garments, entered the camp with a guard.
He had a studio, with a few living-rooms attached, somewhere up in the fastnesses of Montparnasse, though it was seldom thither that one went to seek him. He received at his café, the Café Bleu the Café Bleu which has since blown into the monster café of the Quarter, the noisiest, the rowdiest, the most flamboyant. The bottom of the shop, at any rate, was reserved exclusively to his use.
The news, however, was not long in spreading. Robinson took care of that. On the way to school he overtook his friend Morrison, a young gentleman who had the unique distinction of being the rowdiest fag in Ward's House, which, as any Austinian could have told you, was the rowdiest house in the School. 'I say, Morrison, heard the latest? 'No, what? 'Chap broke into the Pav. last night.
Betty had been weeping scalding tears over the tragedy when the sound of mirth called her forth. John accompanied her, and the other servants looked on in the distance. "There never was such a rowdy family," said Betty. "Rowdy do you call it?" cried John. "Yes; and the very rowdiest is Miss Tredgold. For mercy's sake look at the way she runs! She's as fleet as a hare."
While the rowdiest portion of the crowd struggle and push and shout in the foreground of this remarkable scene, little knots of big-turbaned mollahs and better-class citizens are laying their precious heads together scheming against me in the rear.
Kay's was the rowdiest house in the school, and the cream of its rowdy members had come to camp. There was Walton, for one, a perfect specimen of the public school man at his worst. There was Mortimer, another of Kay's gems. Perry, again, and Callingham, and the rest. A pleasant gang, fit for anything, if it could be done in safety.
