Allison, always ready to curl his lips over anything sissified, sat watching him gravely. Here was a new specimen. He didn't know where to place him. Did he have to lead a meeting? Was he a minister's son or something, or did he just do it because he wanted to, because it seemed his duty to do it? Allison could not decide.
He introduced me to a man whose specialty was cutting brush, because he had heavy, stooped shoulders and preternaturally long, powerful arms a sort of anthropoid specimen who wielded a keen one-handed ax that cut a sizable sapling clean through at one stroke.
"I know nothing of that," replied De Beauxchamps, "but I have the jewels of the terrestrial queen, and," he continued gallantly, "I shall have the pleasure of bestowing them upon the ladies." He emptied his pockets, and found that he had enough to give every woman aboard the Ark a specimen, with several left over for some of the men, Cosmo, of course, being one of the recipients.
I have never yet seen a single specimen in the Sierra, though possibly a few flocks may have lived on Mount Shasta a comparatively short time ago.
As with one cow, so among these ewes, four gave bloody milk from one teat each, and we milked that onto the earth. We found plenty of empty earthenware crocks, clean, and turned upside down, in which to save the good milk. The he-goat, a noble young specimen, was penned by himself, like the ram.
He is the most perfect specimen of Christianity that I ever heard of." "Among the martyrs," said I, "have you ever found his superior?" "No, Sir!" was his energetic answer. "Now," said I, "what made Uncle Tom the paragon of perfection?" "What made him?" said he. "Yes," said I, "what made him the model Christian? You do not reply, and I will tell you.
The general aspect of the trials will be better seen from that of Isabel Gowdie, which, as it would be both wearisome and disgusting to go through them all, is cited as a fair specimen, although it took place at a date somewhat later than the reign of James.
Fire away, Frank, and show the boys." "Yes, steam up, parson," said Joe Harris, "and give us a specimen." "Play away, seven," cried Ned Ellis, as if Frank had been a fire-engine of that number. These, together with other facetious remarks, made Frank so ashamed and confused that he could not say a word.
Some of the Penyahbongs, always in good humour and enjoying themselves, went out with sumpitans to hunt pig, and about seven o'clock, on a beautiful starlit night, a big specimen was brought in, which I went to look at. While one man opened it by cutting lengthwise across the ribs, another was engaged taking out the poison-carrying, triangular point.
I came out of a Broadway chop-house and started north, when I was stopped by an ill-clad, down-trodden specimen of humanity, who begged me, for the love of Heaven to give him a drink. The poor chap's condition was such that it would have been manslaughter to refuse him, and a moment later I had him before the Skidmore bar, gurgling down a tumblerful of raw brandy as though it were water.
