'Say, brandy. 'Does not Mr. Durance accuse you of an addiction to the brandy novel? 'Colney may call it what he pleases. If I read fiction, let it be fiction; airier than hard fact. If I see a ballet, my troop of short skirts must not go stepping like pavement policemen. I can't read dull analytical stuff or "stylists" when I want action if I'm to give my mind to a story.
Then he fell sick, and refused his food; and, as the sole means of preserving his life, he was removed to an airier chamber. But as it speedily appeared, this was only a device to enable him to escape from prison, and it proved successful.
Under the stern-deck was stored a massive roll of tarpaulin, a corner of which made an excellent blanket, and my bundle a good pillow. It was a descent from the luxury of last night; but a spy, I reflected philosophically, cannot expect a feather bed two nights running, and this one was at any rate airier and roomier than the coffin-like bunk of the Dulcibella, and not so very much harder.
Affairs, especially of late, have gone pretty well with me in the world, at least not badly; I have had friends, and I hope have proved not undeserving of them. I wish Sylvia, too, to live in an airier situation, near the park, so that she may ride every morning. Besides, I have a piece of news to communicate to you, which would materially affect our arrangements. We are going to lose Imogene."
But the school was removed in 1872 to an airier district at Godalming. Part of the old building is still used as a boys' day school. The word Charterhouse was the English name for a house of Carthusians, a very strict order of monks, whose first house was the Grande Chartreuse in France. Not far from the Charterhouse is Ely Place, with the beautiful old church of St. Ethelreda.
But how much more blooming and joyous than Susan's is that exquisite face in which all Hebe smiles forth; how much airier the tread, light with health; how much rounder, if slighter still, the wave of that undulating form! She smiles, her lips move, she is conversing with herself; she cannot be all silent, even when alone, for the sunny gladness of her nature must have vent like a bird's.
A little farther down than the base of the edifice we saw the Clitumnus, so recently from its source in the marble rock, that it was still as pure as a child's heart, and as transparent as truth itself. It looked airier than nothing, because it had not substance enough to brighten, and it was clearer than the atmosphere.
As it chanced, he acted sagaciously, for Anthony at last wrote to say that his home in London was cheerless, and that he intended to move into fresh and airier lodgings, where the presence of a discreet young housekeeper, who might wish to see London, and make acquaintance with the world, would be agreeable to him.
Hitherto, as I have said, the talents of Leonard Fairfield had been more turned to things positive than to the ideal, to science and investigation of fact than to poetry, and that airier truth in which poetry has its element.
There should be holes or cracks in the bottom to let the dissolved salt drip away; it is best also to have it a foot at least above the floor. Cover the meat thus in bulk, but not too close, and leave standing a fortnight. The cooler and airier the place it stands in the better freezing even is not objectionable when the salt begins striking in.
