"What have you for lunch?" we asked a solid-looking waiter boy. "Nema Ruchak, bogami." We have no lunch. We looked at all the other people absorbing meat and soup. "Give us what you have." "We have nothing, bogami." "Have you soup?" "Yes, bogami." "And cheese?" "Ima, ima, bogami." "That will do for us."
Finally he selected an ornate chair, rather more solid-looking than the rest, which he drew up to a small table on the far side of the room. There he sat down, his large red hands spread out upon his knees in an attitude of singular embarrassment. But Mary Trevert set him quickly at his ease when presently she came to him. She was pale, but quite self-possessed.
A few high-backed chairs were ranged against the wall; there was a tall "armory," i.e. a linen-press of dark oak, guarded on each side by the twisted weapons of the sea unicorn, and in the middle of the room stood a large, solid-looking table, adorned with a brown earthenware beau-pot, containing a stiff posy of roses, southernwood, gillyflowers, pinks and pansies, of small dimensions.
Beatrice went to open it, and a whitey-brown paper parcel was held out to her by a boy in a green canvas round frock, and a pair of round, hard, red, solid-looking cheeks; no other than Dame Reid's grandson. "Thank you," said she. "Did Master Alexander give you this?" "Ay." "Thank you, that's right!" and away he went.
"Rudolph, do you remember that evening the first summer that I knew you at Fortress Monroe, when we sat upon the pier so frightfully late, and the moon rose out of the bay, and made a great, solid-looking, silver path that led straight over the rim of the world, and you talked to me about about what, now?" "Oh, yes, yes! I remember perfectly! One of the most beautiful evenings I ever saw.
So much for general scenic effects at Archangel. The Technical Institute, used as Headquarters by the American Forces, is worth a glance. It is a four-story solid-looking building about one hundred and fifty feet square and eighty feet high, with a small court in the centre.
He worked till he could get a paw through and feel; then called the Mole to come and help him. Hard at it went the two animals, till at last the result of their labours stood full in view of the astonished and hitherto incredulous Mole. In the side of what had seemed to be a snow-bank stood a solid-looking little door, painted a dark green.
Clothes neatly folded over the chairs. And then in that third-story room I saw something long and solid-looking on the floor. Seems to be tangled up in the coverlets. The electric light thing's sprinkled all over it. That's what makes me pretty sure hit 'em as they made a break. Come on." He and Garland made off as Pancha and Mrs. Meeker set to work on the harnessing of Prince.
One corner of the cave was occupied by a broad and solid-looking cascade, while another corner showed the opening of a very narrow fissure, curved like one of the shell-shaped crevasses of a glacier. Into this fissure the ice-floor streamed; and Rosset held my coat-tails while I made a few steps down the stream, when the fall became too rapid for further voluntary progress.
But now and then a landlord or an agent or a gauger will go by begging his bread, to show how God divides the righteous from the unrighteous. 1892 and 1902. Sometimes when I have been shut off from common interests, and have for a little forgotten to be restless, I get waking dreams, now faint and shadow-like, now vivid and solid-looking, like the material world under my feet.
