Someone leave?" Rick did his best to make his reply simple enough for understanding. He apparently succeeded. "Think someone try steal. Bad." "Very bad," Rick agreed, straight-faced. "Hope you find. Steal from museum no good." "No good," the officer agreed. "Good-by," Rick said. He held his breath waiting for the reaction.
One hath arisen against the Empire yet doth Pontius Pilate not come forth nor give audience to message bearers." "'He seeth neither god nor man until his business of importance to Tiberius is finished, since first of all he is Caesar's friend, did I make answer, straight-faced and solemn, for who would feel the fire of the branding iron for a bit of gold?
Helgi answers, "I think I know who this man is, of whom you have now been telling. He must be Thorleik Bollison, and a sharp and mindful man you are." The lad said again, "Next sat a young man; he was in a blue kirtle and black breeches, and his tunic tucked into them. This man was straight-faced, light of hair, with a goodly-featured face, slender and graceful."
Just tell him that quietly, will you? Say it slowly so that it sinks in. Thanks." Straight-faced as Cunningham himself, the Risaldar tongue-lashed the servant with harsh, tooth-rasping words that brought him up to attention.
Our Mark Twains and Bill Nyes are flat indeed, when compared to that straight-faced clown, the American legislator, who would give an unchangable value to either the shoes we wear or the money we use. This whole question of currency has as little to do with the prevailing misery as the missing button off your vest would have to do with your being frozen to death.
Jan obviously didn't like this part of the legend, Rick thought. "So that's how the ghost began," Jan concluded. "After making his way through practically the whole Confederate cavalry, he was shot down at our mine before he could even say hello to her! No wonder he haunts the place!" "How about all the soldiers killed in the fighting?" Scotty asked, straight-faced.
The process resembles that which in the folk everywhere has evolved enormous legends about favorite heroes; the legend concerning Paul, however, is essentially native in its accurate geography, in its passion for grotesque exaggeration, in its hilarious metaphors, in its dry, drawling, straight-faced narrative method. Exaggeration such as that in some of these stories verges upon genius.
I know, too well, that the curse of God lies heavy on you. Why? That is not for me to say, but be brave! Do your work in your lowly sphere, praying the good Lord that into heaven above, where all is love, you may, one day, be born white!" I do not laugh. I am quite straight-faced as I ask soberly: "But what on earth is whiteness that one should so desire it?"
"He is a straight-faced, bright-faced man, tall and strong, who can tell a story so that you will be carried off your feet and away wherever he chooses to take you." "I have done always as Karen Sabiston was minded to do; and now I will not be moved this way or that way as some one else minds." "As to that we shall see." And as Thora Glumm spoke Liot came into the room.
Others like a straight-faced mashie for the purpose; and a third section have a preference for the ordinary mashie, and play for a pitch and run. These are details of fancy in which I cannot properly interfere. The club may be gripped lower down the handle. Moreover, it should be held forward, slightly in front of the head.
