He kept an office for advertisers, counselling, designing, acting as middleman with printers and bill-stickers, for the inexperienced or the uninspired: the dull haberdasher came to him for ideas, the smart theatrical agent for his local knowledge; and one and all departed with a copy of his pamphlet: How, When, and Where; or, the Advertiser's Vade-Mecum.
"Very true, my lord," said the toad-eater, with a low bow. I will now give a short description of his lordship. He was a smart, dapper, well made man, with a handsome, but not an intellectual countenance; cleanly and particular in his person; and, assisted by the puffs of toady, had a very good opinion of himself; proud of his aristocratic birth, and still more vain of his personal appearance.
Is there a smart boy in the place who could let us know directly any one leaves the sitting-room?" The manager smiled. "Mr. Sinclair knows all about that, sir," he said, pointing to my friend. "I have nothing to say about it, of course." Sinclair left the room for a minute or two. When he came back he nodded confidentially. "I have a boy watching the door," he said.
Charles was a smart lad, but the divil has him by the neck, and to give money is to give him drink." Bertha remained silent, her own indictment was so much more severe. Colorado Springs lies in a shallow valley, under a genial sun, at almost the exact level of the summit of Mt. Washington.
I didn't know you had told him to attend me until after you had gone away and I can't thank you enough, but father is so worried because he thinks he will never be able to pay such a bill as Doctor Kendall's ought to be for curing me.

His lips, curling with rage, displayed fangs as long, as large, and as pointed as the tusks of a wild boar. But Morok touched those lips with the end of the burning metal; and, as he felt the smart, followed by an unexpected summons of his master, the lion, not daring to roar, uttered a hollow growl, and his great body sank down at once in an attitude of submission and fear.
"And what's more, if you can judge by the amount of criticism, I must be going to be extra great. Still, that's likely enough, I suppose." "Don't stop him, fellows," said Bob, with a mischievous grin. "Let him rave on. If he enjoys kidding himself that way, why should we wake him up?" "Aw, you fellows who think you're so smart are probably kidding yourselves," said Herb.
Of the girl he could not be sure. The lost dryad, needing money more than she needed a smart evening gown, might well have disposed of Ena's gift. And yet Petro had strangely enough it had seemed to him then thought of Winifred and the mysterious "dryad door" on the Monarchic the moment he came into this place.
We want the grand dribbling run with the ball at the toe, the smart passing and middling of the Association, and we will enjoy it." Such good-natured banter went on at first between two opposing interests, but by and by the difference culminated into something more.
With clumsy old craft that sailed in heavy weather as though they were dragging an anchor at the bottom, and that missed stays on the faintest provocation, these men carried goods to the value of millions, without incurring nearly the loss which is borne through the failure of the smart iron steamers. They are nearly all gone now, and the public are not much the better.
