Helmar slipped his hand in his coat pocket to make sure his revolver was there, and, having satisfied himself on the point, hurried along behind the Arab, talking and laughing with his friend, as if he had not the slightest doubt but that everything was fair and above-board. The limit of the town was reached, and they passed along the sandy road until they came to some gardens.
So these two frauds said they'd go and fetch it up, and have everything square and above-board; and told me to come with a candle. We shut the cellar door behind us, and when they found the bag they spilt it out on the floor, and it was a lovely sight, all them yaller-boys. My, the way the king's eyes did shine! He slaps the duke on the shoulder and says: "Oh, THIS ain't bully nor noth'n!
But it's big enough. But what is it? If I told you I'd be lying, and you know, sister, between us everything's above-board." Anxiously the man asked: "Think it's venison?" Labouise answered: "Might be and then again it might not! Venison? uh! uh! might be a little big for that! Mind you, I don't say it's a doe, because I don't know, but it might be."
And so Max went to the interview wondering how he was going to behave over this new fact which had so largely entered his life; whether he was going to "behave well" whether indeed it were possible at the same time to behave well and be honest and above-board.
The consequence was that almost every one was on the look out for him; and it not unfrequently happened that he paid more for an article which he imagined he was getting, in consequence of some manoeuvre, at less than cost, than his next-door neighbour, who dealt fairly and above-board. One day, a Mr. Lladd, an importer, called upon him, and said
If he had two legs less he'd beat Jesse James to the tall timber in piracy! He won't work if you don't watch him, and he'll steal everything he gets his eyes on! Yes, sir, I feel that there's a common sympathy between that mule and me, yet I know that we'll have a falling out some day! He's so open and above-board in his mischief." "Can you see what he's doing now?" asked Teddy.
It's all open and above-board. The long, light cast of the fly, 'fine and far off, the delicate drop of the feathers upon the water, the quick rise of the trout and the sudden gleam of his golden side as he turns, the electric motion of the wrist by which you hook him, that is the magic of sport." "Yes," replied the other, "I'll admit there's something in it, but bait-fishing is superior.
She might not have gone away to Pavlofsk yet. Yes, all this must be put straight and above-board, there must be no more passionate renouncements, such as Rogojin's. It must all be clear as day. Cannot Rogojin's soul bear the light? He said he did not love her with sympathy and pity; true, he added that "your pity is greater than my love," but he was not quite fair on himself there. Kin!
Neither the exhortations of Pere la Chaise, nor the affectionate zeal of De Maintenon, had as yet overthrown the power of De Montespan; and more than once, when wearied with the solemn dulness of the former, had he sought refuge from drowsiness in the rollicking companionship of the latter, who, if she was a sinner, wore the livery of her master, and sinned honestly and above-board.
I shall have a dreadful time making him see things my way. And with all that hanging over me, I should think I might look for a little sympathy from you, Aunt Helen. Lots of girls wouldn't have said anything about it. But I told you because I want you to see I'm perfectly straight and above-board." Mrs.
