After Taylor's effort Ponting showed a number of very beautiful slides of Alpine scenery not a few are triumphs of the photographer's art. As a wind-up Ponting took a flashlight photograph of our hut converted into a lecture hall: a certain amount of faking will be required, but I think this is very allowable under the circumstances.
"Obtain a barony for myself and heirs; I trust I shall soon have a family!" Had somebody given Lumley Ferrers a hearty cuff on the ear, he would have thought less of it than of this wind-up of his uncle's ambitious projects. His jaws fell, his eyes grew an inch larger, and he remained perfectly speechless. "Ay," pursued Mr.
He and Mary discussed this rather soberly as they drove home in the small car after the convivial wind-up supper at the Moraine, where this fact had been effusively dwelt upon. Their wedding was now less than a month off. "I know," she admitted, "it looks as if I were all wrong. To go on being afraid of harness and millstones and all that. But just the same ... Oh, you can live my sort of life.
"What things are we going to sell?" asked Charlie, as he began pulling something from his pocket. "Oh, we'll get stones, sand, gravel, some leaves, pieces of bark, twigs, and things like that," Bunny explained. "But what you got in your pocket, Charlie?" "My wind-up auto. I thought maybe we could use it in the store." "How?" "Well, it could be like a cash register.
"It's rum, however, which final is the deestruction of Bowlaigs, same as it is of plenty of other good people who would have else lived in honour an' died respected an' been tearfully planted in manner an' form to do 'em proud. "Excloosive of that casooalty which marks his wind-up, an' which he combines with Major Ben to commit, thar's but one action of Bowlaigs a enemy might call a crime.
It came into my head hind side before. If it could only have a beginning and a middle put to it, it might do. It's just the wind-up, where they have to give an account, you know, and what they'll have to show for it, and the thing that really amounts, after all." "Well, tell us." "It's only five lines, and one rhyme. But it might be written up to.

Sam Carr had delivered himself of this as a wind-up to a conversation with Thompson the evening before.
It was almost dark when that worthy came riding into camp. We never said a word as he threw the two lion skins on the ground. "Fellows, you shore have missed the wind-up!" he exclaimed. We all looked at him and he looked at us. "Was there any more?" I asked weakly. "Shore! An' it beats hell!
That was of course the wind-up of the Carnival; and besides it was felt, that a shade or two more of licence and of the ascendancy of the Lord of Misrule might fitly be permissible at the Circolo, than was quite de mise in the rooms of so grave and reverend a Signor as the Marchese Lamberto di Castelmare.
"Well!" chuckled Corson, not unkindly, "I thought it would be more Perris than Arizona in the wind-up!" She reddened, but not because of his words. She was thinking of the impulsive note in which she asked Red Perris to call at the hotel after the race and ask for Marianne Jordan.
