The result was that Rais Ali gave himself a sounding slap on the side of the head, to Ted's inexpressible delight. When Rais indicated that he was "off" again, he received another touch, which resulted in a second slap and a savage growl, as the unfortunate man sat up and yawned. "They seems wuss than ornar," said Flaggan gravely. "Wuss?
But I expect it's true; it sounds like that." "I should worry," Vic yawned, with the bland triteness of a boy who speaks mostly in current catch phrases. "I've got a good chance for a juvenile part in that big five-reeler Walt's going to put on. Fat chance anybody's got putting me to herding goats! That New Mexico dope got my number the first time dad sprung it. Not for mine!"
Their curiosity seemed natural and unimportant. "Oh yes, yes indeed, have to do that some day," she yawned. She no longer took Aunt Bessie Smail seriously enough to struggle for independence. She saw that Aunt Bessie did not mean to intrude; that she wanted to do things for all the Kennicotts.
But an abyss had yawned and thrown them far back to an infinite distance from her. The storm was departing; drops of water splashing rarely, one by one, made the tent-roof shake. Matho slept like a drunken man, stretched on his side, and with one arm over the edge of the couch.
He had eased his mind, and that for the moment was much; though he still ground his teeth, and, had Baudichon followed him, would have struck the Councillor without thought or hesitation. The pigs! The hogs! To press him with their wretched affairs: to press him at this moment when the grave yawned at his feet, and the coffin opened for him!
It was such a fine hot Midsummer day at Hollowdell station, that the porter had grown tired of teasing the truck-driver's dog, and fallen fast asleep an example which the dog had tried to follow, but could not, because there was only one shady spot within the station-gates, and that had been taken possession of by the porter; so the poor dog had tried first one place, and then another, but they were all so hot and stifling, and the flies kept buzzing about him so teasingly, that he grew quite cross, and barked and snapped so at the tiresome insects, that at last he woke Jem Barnes, the porter, who got up, stretched himself, yawned very rudely and loudly, and then, looking in at the station-clock, he saw that the 2:30 train from London was nearly due, so he made up his mind not to go to sleep again until it had passed.
"What does Jacky think about these things?" The question was put carelessly. John yawned, and poured out a "tot" of whisky for his friend. "Guess I haven't seen the child since breakfast. She seemed to take it badly enough then." "Thanks. Aren't you going to have one?" as John pushed the glass over to the other. "Why, yes, man. Never shirk my liquor."
I stopped at a cabin up there coming down an' asked a gal how far it was to town " "That's it," said the barn man. "That's the one. Trail starts right back of that cabin." Rathburn yawned again. "Smart-lookin' gal," he observed, digging for his tobacco and papers. "Who is she?" "That's Joe Carlisle's sister. Anyway, he says she is. There's been some talk.
I heard the door open and voices in the hall; and, then, in a few minutes, he came out and rode away, with the stiff, hard seat of the European cavalryman. I was still watching him when Courtney entered. "What do you think of him?" he asked. "I haven't seen enough of him to think," said I. "Not even enough to wonder who he is?" I yawned. "His uniform tells me he is a colonel of the Guard."
Van Bibber answered this sign language by taking Madeline's hand in his and asking her how she liked being a great actress, and how soon she would begin to storm because that photographer hadn't sent the proofs. The young woman understood this, and deigned to smile at it, but Madeline yawned a very polite and sleepy yawn, and closed her eyes.
