Smitty, Mike, Elmer, and Nick snatched stolen siestas there in the rare absences of the manager. Sometimes Nick spent the night there when forced to work overtime. His home life, at best, was a sketchy affair. Here chauffeurs, mechanics, washers lolled at ease exchanging soft-spoken gossip, motor chat, speculation, comment, and occasional verbal obscenity.
It was a poor report, very sketchy and incomplete, and it probably would have been forgotten except that four nights later a similar UFO almost collided with an Eastern Airlines DC-3. On the evening of July 24, 1948, an Eastern Airlines DC-3 took off from Houston, Texas. It was on a scheduled trip to Atlanta, with intermediate stops in between.
Ess Kay did for that Violet Tea; and I daren't think even now though it happened weeks ago of the money she must have spent. For one thing, she and Sally and I had to have violet dresses. Then violet and silver livery was ordered in a great hurry for the four footmen to be worn on one afternoon, and no more! But these things were mere sketchy details, compared to other preparations.
"It was a sketchy design of her late husband's, and he handed it on to her; setting apart in his will a sum of money of which she was to enjoy the interest for life, but of which, should she eventually see her opportunity the matter was left largely to her discretion she would best honour his memory by determining the exemplary public use.
But I will admit that in Livorno Bay, both on this our first day alone there, and ever afterwards, my father's only attempts at domestic work were of the most sketchy and least satisfactory description; his grip of our housekeeping was of the feeblest, and in a very short time the matter fell entirely into my hands when Ted was not with us.
Arbuthnot looked from the card to Andrew and from Andrew to the card, in some perplexity. "Why," said he, "I've seen your bills about the town. You're playing here! Why the deuce didn't you let me know?" "I gave a better performance at Bourdon Wood," said Andrew. Now hereabouts, I ought to say, the famous manuscript ends. Indeed, this late Marseilles part of it was very hurried and sketchy.
"Boss!" he protested. "That's just a sketchy outline," said Jimmy, pausing for breath. "I can't do you justice impromptu like this you're too vast and overwhelming." "But, boss, what's eatin' you? Ain't youse tickled?" "Tickled!" Jimmy sawed the air. "Tickled! You lunatic! Can't you see what you've done?" "I've got dem," said Spike, whose mind was not readily receptive of new ideas.
And when James E. Winter read this part of it, at his suburban breakfast, he first laughed, and then swore. The same issue of the Post carried an editorial, mentioning in rather a sketchy way the benefits Mr. West had conferred upon Blaines College, and paying a high and confident tribute to his qualities as a citizen.
How do you suppose we can build these and still keep all the scientists aboard and on Earth happy that they're just innocent magneto-ionic effect cancelers? Boy, that was a beauty, Ishie!" "Best we have two sets of drawings. The ones for us can be sketchy, and need not have too much exactitude of design. We know what we're doing at least, I hope we do.
Jefferson's half-brother, Charles Burke, had put together a sketchy melodrama in two acts and had played in it, was playing in it when he died.
