I guess Horrocks, in spite of his shifty black eyes, isn't the man for the business. He might track the slimmest neche that ever crossed the back of a choyeuse. Lablache is the man Retief has to fear. That uncrowned monarch of Foss River is subtle, and subtlety alone will serve. Horrocks?" with fine disdain. "Say, you can't shoot snipe with a pea-shooter."
'Polly, if you heap compliments on me like this, I shall cease to believe that you're a woman. Tell me how I am to be a Power. 'Inform The Mussuck that he is the most fascinating and slimmest man in Asia, and he'll tell you anything and everything you please. 'Bother The Mussuck! I mean an intellectual Power not a gas-power. Polly, I'm going to start a salon. Mrs.
Such eyes, Maggie, and the slimmest, most wonderful figure you ever saw!" "Who was the cat?" Maggie enquired with asperity. "She is Russian. Her name is Naida Karetsky. Karschoff introduced me." Maggie was suddenly serious. There was just a trace of the one expression he had never before seen in her face fear lurking in her eyes, even asserting itself in her tone.

At times he even dictates their politics; but when you remember that French is the language spoken, that primary education is of the slimmest, though all doors are open for a promising pupil to advance, you wonder whether constant tutelage of a benevolent church may not be a good thing in a chaotic, confused and restless age.
"For heaven's sake, what are you giggling at?" snapped the longest, slimmest, most abnormal dryad, diaphanously draped in yellow, when she could gasp out an intelligible sentence after an exhausting bout of agony. "Us," said the girl who could always laugh, a vision in silver. "Us? I don't see anything funny about us!" groaned a tall dream in crimson and purple. "Funny!
I can under such circumstances see no reason to doubt that the swiftest and slimmest wolves would have the best chance of surviving, and so be preserved or selected, provided always that they retained strength to master their prey at this or at some other period of the year, when they might be compelled to prey on other animals.
Yes, sir, and went off and fetched it, and put it on the table in a small decanter-stand, like those which blind-men's dogs carry about the streets in their mouths, to catch the half-pence in; and both Kit's mother and Barbara's mother declared as he turned away that he was one of the slimmest and gracefullest young men she had ever looked upon.
That I ever should get out into the world again, and so have the good of my riches, seemed likely to me only in my most sanguine moments; but even on the slimmest chance of accomplishing my own deliverance I had a very natural human objection to leaving behind me the wealth that I had found through such peril only to lie there for a while longer idly, and then to be lost forever when the galleon sank to the bottom of the sea.
It was with these questions ringing in his brain, then, that Scott Brenton, after his old fashion, shut his teeth askew and awaited the still distant homecoming of his old-time idol. He gained the slimmest sort of comfort by remembering how characteristic it all was of the boy he used to know. That Reed Opdyke was very badly broken, no one, seeing him, could deny.
"Fudge!" says she, stampin' her foot. "You think it's smart to take that pose, don't you? Well, you wait!" And, say, you talk about your haughty beauts! Why, she was a little the silkiest young queen I ever had a real close view of, the slimmest feet and ankles, reg'lar cameo-cut face all tinted up natural like a bunch of sweet peas, and a lot of straw-colored hair as fine as cobwebs.
