The Honourable John Ruffin sat straighter up in his chair with a somewhat startled air. But he said in an indifferent enough tone: "Ah, she grew mysterious, did she?" "Ever so mysterious," said Pollyooly. "It's a habit of her class, I believe," said the Honourable John Ruffin carelessly. "Probably she meant nothing at all."
"First out at Old Salem, where Linkern lived." The jury sat up straighter than ever. "Who told you?" "An old man." "What's his name?" "I don't know." "When was that?" "This summer, about a month ago." "Well, did you ever read Blackstone's Commentaries?" "Yes, sir, some." "Where?" "In Mr. Kirby's office." "The States Attorney?" "Yes, sir." "When?" "Since that old man told me."
Of course, when they are together one can distinguish the Celebrity from the bicycle man. The Celebrity's chin is a little more square, and his nose straighter, and there are other little differences. I believe Mr. Allen has a slight scar on his forehead. But the likeness was remarkable, nevertheless, and it grew to be a standing joke with us. They actually dressed ludicrously alike.
A flush crept over Tony's face and his mouth took a straighter line as he continued to gaze down on the roof of Villa Rosa. His reflections were presently interrupted by a knock. He turned and threw the door open with a fling. 'Well? he inquired. Gustavo took a step backward. 'Scusi, signore, but zay are eating ze dessart and in five ten minutes ze omnibus will arrive.
He put a wealth of disdain into the words. She sat up straighter. She dropped her hands from her face and looked at him. Dark as it was on the bench, he could see that her expression was one of wonder. "Do do you really feel that way about it, Captain Latham?" "It is ridiculous!" he acclaimed heartily. She sighed.
But something in his smile as he sipped his liquor made Milligan sit straighter in his chair. As for Donnegan, he was thinking hard and fast. If there were a shooting affair and he won, he would nevertheless run a close chance of being hung by a mob. He must dispose that mob to look upon him as the defendant and Landis as the aggressor. He had not foreseen the crisis until it was fairly upon him.
He entered Africa not less than fifty thousand years ago and settled eventually in the broad region between Lake Chad and the Great Lakes and remained there long stretches of years. After a lapse of perhaps thirty thousand years there entered Africa a further migration of Asiatic people, Negroid in many characteristics, but lighter and straighter haired than the primitive Negroes.
Blandina didn't share my lofty emotions, she simpered some and said, "I believe they would make lovely husbands if their eyes wuz sot in straighter and they dressed different." And I sez, "I wouldn't admire 'em in that capacity, but after all they would be equinomical husbands.
And yet, except for a few chattering porters, the air rang with good English voices hailing each other in cheery greetings, and khaki was everywhere. But now, as I followed my companion's long legs past these serried, dun-coloured ranks, it seemed to me that they held themselves straighter and looked a little more grim even than they had done in England.
Selpdorf contemplated Rallywood kindly, as if prepared to be interested in his answer. He was trying to draw something from the man, but Rallywood only stood straighter and hugged his wooden silence closer. Any reply he could make would give the advantage to Selpdorf. For the present he himself held it. It is often so.
