I call it scandalous! there's no mistake about it; the 'air's not the same colour, and the Eastern robes hide it a bit; but he's there for all that. I don't relish seeing 'Umpage figurin' away in painted glass and a great gaudy turban every time I look up, he's quite aggravating enough in his pew. If I chose to go to the expense, I could put up a winder too, and 'ave myself done.
Sez he, "What did you bring this pussylanermus cuss here fur?" & he hit the wax figger another tremenjus blow on the hed. Sez I, "You egrejus ass that air's a wax figger a representashun of the false 'Postle."
The lovely, soundless quiet, broken into only by bird notes, or his companions' voices, had an extraordinary effect on him. "It's so still you can hear it," he said once, stopping in a velvet, moss-covered path. "Seems like you've got quiet shut up here, and you've turned it on till the air's thick with it.
The air's a big lottery, and Archie turned a dirty face skyward where two of our planes were moving very high towards the east. The mention of Lensch brought Peter to mind, and I asked if he had gone back. 'He won't go, said Archie, 'and we haven't the heart to make him. He's very happy, and plays about with the Gladas single-seater.
The light which shone through the dirty and tightly closed "bull's-eye" window showed a tumbled bunk, the blankets soiled and streaked. The smell was stifling. "Say, fellers," whispered Thoph, "I don't like this much myself. I'm for gettin' on deck where the air's better. Somethin's happened aboard this craft, somethin' serious." Charlie and Bill nodded an emphatic affirmative.
He took another breath, and another, then he opened the inner door and went back to the lower deck, saying to himself: "Well, the air's all right if it is a bit champagney; rich in oxygen, I suppose, with perhaps a trace of nitrous-oxide in it. Still, it's certainly breathable, and that's the principal thing."
Bernald groaned. "Not a bit of it! You're out again. We don't love him, either of us. But we feel him the air's charged with him. You'll see." And Bernald agreed that he would see, the following Sunday. Wade's inarticulate attempts to characterize the stranger had struck his friend.
The father got up, fetched his driving-cape, and spread it over them; it was heavy with dust and dirt, but it warmed them! "'Tis dreadful the way the wind blows through these walls," said he when again in bed; "the air's like ice in the room! I must try to get some planks to patch up the walls." "You'd better be thinking of building; this rotten old case isn't worth patching up."
"Boy," she said presently, putting her hand on his knees and closing her tired eyes, "where's that magic carpet? If I could sit on it with you and be taken to where the air's clean and the trees are whisperin' and all the young things hoppin' about I'd give twenty-five years of me life, s'elp me Bob, I would." "Would you, Tootles?" A sudden thought struck Martin.
Then: "I'm demoted," Chet told the round-eyed man who stared unbelievingly at the vacant place on Chet's blouse. "The air's hot with orders for my arrest. I've got to get out, and I've got to do it quick." And now there was only a trace of the brogue in Spud's voice.
