I had also engaged a Canadian voyageur named Gode, as a sort of attendant or compagnon. Where are the glossy gentlemen of the Planters' Hotel? One would suppose they had been left behind, as here are none but men in hunting-shirts and slouch hats. Yes; but under these hats we recognise their faces, and in these rude shirts we have the same jovial fellows as ever.
He locked the suit of overalls and the slouch hat safely in his bag. But next day he brought out the hat, and wore it while making a very careful tour of inspection in the neighborhood of the Grosvenor Place mansion. Approaching it from the western side he spied out the lie of the land, found a mews that had an entrance in the side street, and judged that this mews contained Mr.
Like as not she hid there from fear of us. Do you live near here, little one?" Anne now ventured to look up, but in the dusk could only see that the man who spoke so kindly was bareheaded, while the others wore slouch hats which shaded their faces. "No, sir," she answered.
And opening the door noiselessly, he came out into the hallway. He wore a thin overcoat and a slouch hat, and a heavy beard covered his face. Dick hurried his steps and called Tom, and then went back to the other hallway, unwilling to leave it unguarded even for a few minutes. He was just in time to see somebody disappearing down a broad flight of stairs to the floor below.
"Hope he hasn't gotten into trouble." "Oh, he'll look out for that!" "Of course! Ned's no slouch!" While the boys cheered themselves with such remarks as these, the rooms grew darker and the black clouds from off the gulf dropped nearer. "What an ungodly country!" Jack exclaimed. "I feel as if I were surrounded by snakes, and all kinds of reptiles.
The Southerner was on his feet, with a stiffened back; and his dusty slouch hat was in his hand. "He's well; God bless him! Well!" The tone was deep and tender, proud, but as reverent as the baby's prayer for her father's immunity from harm; yet the man who spoke sank back into his seat, closing his eyes and repeating slowly, sadly: "He's well; God bless him! But he's tired, darling mighty tired."
There never was an especially dirty job to be done but what Dan was sent. He always obeyed but he used to slouch off with his big red fist doubled up, muttering curses that brought out his brogue at its best. Later on he confided in me what he was going to do to that boss. If he had carried out his threats he would long since have been electrocuted and I would have lost a good friend.
While she stood, half paralyzed with fear, the door moved gently, almost stealthily, swinging back half its width, and a man in cape-coat, and slouch hat drawn dose over his eyes, stepped into the room.

That debutante slouch would kill a queen's coronation costume." Myrtle straightened, slumped again. "I can't help it if I am willowy" listlessly. "Your hair!" Myrtle's hand went vaguely to her head. "I can't have you wear it that way." "Why, this is the French roll!" protested Myrtle, offended. "Then do it in a German bun!" snapped Emma. "Any way but that. Will you walk, please?" "Walk?" dully.
Is it ketching?" "Is it KETCHING? Why, how you talk. Is a HARROW catching in the dark? If you don't hitch on to one tooth, you're bound to on another, ain't you? And you can't get away with that tooth without fetching the whole harrow along, can you? Well, these kind of mumps is a kind of a harrow, as you may say and it ain't no slouch of a harrow, nuther, you come to get it hitched on good."
