Something worse than eating with his knife must ostracize a man, and something no greater than spitting on the sidewalk should accomplish the feat at one fell stroke. There is an infallible constancy in good breeding. Like charity, of which it is so largely an exponent, it "never faileth."
Charming the messenger and kissing the footstool, seasoning the grape-juice and coloring the rose stalk, the danger to the minute is the time of day. Wednesday, the sender who wants no coins away, Tuesday the use of a push that does not paralyse the rubbing, all day, the resemblance to no blame, Sunday a movement of a little water. Persons with a face and no spitting.
And then there was a frightful lurch and jar, and the big car bounded into the air, and turned over in the ditch. I remember the rear wheels turning with a grinding, spitting noise. When I woke up, Alicia was sitting by the side of the road, with the doctor's head in her lap, and I was lying on the grass near by.
The green-and-red lizard, coming from the window-sill, approached Ervic and began spitting a flaming fluid at him, but Ervic merely stared at the creature and its flame did not touch him. The crocodile raised its tail and, swinging around, swept Ervic off the bench with a powerful blow.
"Nay, no king of mine is that Idumean fox whose brother's wife doth defile his bed. Such for Rome, but not for Israel!" "Dog of a Jew!" "Swine of a Roman!" For a moment the two measured glances. Then Jael was seized on each side by one of the soldiers, the first spitting in his face with the question, "Swine of a Roman am I?"
"Oh, isn't it queer?" said Fred, as soon as he had finished gasping, and spitting out the water he had in his mouth. "Not a bit of it," said Harry, "only you were in such a hurry to get under the water. Now, then, try and swim: see me go dog's paddle," and then the young dog set to paddling away as though he had lived in the water half his lifetime. "Hold his chin up, Phil, and he'll soon do it."
Except for one aged gentleman, however, who seemed to be wholly occupied in spitting in the Thames, the stretch in front of the studios was absolutely deserted. Glancing at the board in the hall as I entered, I saw that "Mr. Morrison" and "Miss Vivien" were both "in" a statement which in Tommy's case was confirmed a moment later by his swift appearance at the door in answer to my knock. "Mr.
"Not an atom too tight," answered Rondeau, at the same time getting nearer and nearer to Leffie, and laying his hand on her shoulder. Before she was aware of his intention, he stole the kiss he was seeking for. Leffie rewarded him by spitting in his face, while Aunt Dilsey called out, "Ain’t you ’shamed to act so, Leffie? Don’t make a fool of yourself!"
Just at this moment, however, they were not thinking of mines. They were eyeing a round hole in the coffeepot from which a brown rivulet ran spitting into the blackening coals. Casey was the more venturesome. He raised himself to see if he could discover where the bullet had come from, and very nearly met the fate of the coffeepot.
I was so disgusted with seeing them sitting in ineffectual helplessness spitting on the hot iron that lay before them, and touching it with a timid finger, as if afraid of being scalded, that at another time I might have dashed in and taken up the hammer, summoned the deacons and other heads of public bodies, and by consulting them have carried them with me.
