"Level and sightly, as you can see as soon as the tide's full out. Straight in line for the extension of Clay Street. Can't be beat." "What's your price?" asked Mr. Grigsby, with a wink at Charley. "You can have that fine lot for only $10,000 cash. It's worth $15,000." Mr. Adams threw back his head and laughed, and laughed. Even Mr. Grigsby guffawed. And Charley was indignant.
If these are made well, they are the most sightly of the small cold dishes, and cost almost nothing. This, of course, will be served to twenty-four persons. Tongue, sardines, lobster, crab meat or cold left-over meat may be substituted for chicken.
It was no chance that made these coasts the home of the kind old monarch Eolus, inventor of sails and storm-signals. On the Telegrafo di Mare Cuccola is a rude signal-apparatus for communication with Capri, to ascertain if wind and wave are propitious for entrance to the Blue Grotto, which probably was not erected by Eolus, although he doubtless used this sightly spot as one of his stations.
There is very little tide at any time, so that the shores are clean and sightly for the most part, like those of fresh-water lakes. It has all the pleasantness of a fresh-water lake, with all the advantages of a salt one. In the streams which run into it are the speckled trout, the shad, and the salmon; out of its depths are hooked the cod and the mackerel, and in its bays fattens the oyster.
Miss Joyce patted his frail little shoulder and said "Oh, well . . . !" So Carrie was fastened into her trailer again, and the sedan rattled southward all day, through peach orchards and vineyards where the grapevines were fastened to short stakes so that they looked like bushes instead of vines. "It's . . . real sightly country," said Grandma, who felt much better after her rest.
But be this as it may, in November, 1859, Mrs. Talboys came among us English at Rome, and soon succeeded in obtaining for herself a comfortable footing in our society. We all thought her more remarkable for her mental attributes than for physical perfection; but, nevertheless, she was, in her own way, a sightly woman.
On the 16th December, when the gale abated, they discovered land near certain small rocks, sixty leagues from the harbour of St Blaze, and five leagues from the Pennon de la Cruz, where Diaz set up his last stone pillar , and fifteen leagues short of the Rio del Infante . This country was very pleasant, and abounded in cattle, becoming more sightly and with higher trees the further our fleet sailed towards the east, as could be easily seen from the ships as they sailed along near the shore.
It's ben so cold and homely 'twa'n't plausible for 'em to go out." Mrs. Lem patted her pompadour. "I can see a thousand Christmas trees from this window," said Sylvia. "Yes, it's real sightly. Judge Trent has just the same view from his room. It's his favorite." Sylvia's face fell. "When does he come?" she asked. "Oh, he comes and goes all summer. He don't make no long stay except in August."
And the style of construction is in charming taste great simple spaces of distempered wall and matted floor and timbered ceiling, the structural features showing wherever they may be sightly, with breadth of spaces such as you see in Spanish houses; the furnishings simple, everything necessary, and little besides, a pleasant sense of room for growth.
He took off his hat and wiped the sweat of weakness that had gathered upon his forehead, and looked round the sky, powdered with the constellations and the planets. "It's sightly," he whispered. "Yes, it is fine," Westover assented. "But the stars of our Northern nights are nothing to what you'll see in Egypt." Jackson repeated, vaguely: "Egypt! Where I should like to go is Mars."
