"And if you were a little older, or he had more of a job, I'd give him a piece of my mind. You ain't going to marry HIS sort, I should hope. But, Lord, you're both only kids!" "I guess I can mind my own business, Mama," Julia said. "Well, I guess you can," Emeline conceded amiably. "Look, Ju, at the size of these sleeves ain't that something fierce?
We had barely completed this work when Mahoney came out into the hall, his head bound up with a blood-soaked rag. "A foine, lively shindy, Leftenant," he said, grinning amiably. "Bedad, but Oi thought they had us that last toime Oi did that." He glanced about curiously. "An' ye must hav' had it hot in here too." "It was hand to hand, Sergeant, and we lost some men four dead.
There were, in this party of rather leisurely reporters, a tall, wise, slow-smiling young Swede who had gone to sea at twelve and been captain of a destroyer before leaving the navy to manage a newspaper; a young Polish count, amiably interested in many sorts of learning and nearly all sorts of ladies he had seen some of the Carpathian fighting as an officer in the Polish Legion; one of the Swiss citizen officers one can hear him now whacking his heels together whenever he was presented, and fairly hissing "Oberleutnant W , aw Schweiz!" and a young Bulgarian professor, who spoke German and a little French, but, unlike so many of the Bulgarians of the older generation who were educated at Robert College, no English.
To Miss Campbell, a seasoned housekeeper, this reply seemed a little irregular. "What kind of business, O'Haru?" she demanded rather severely. O'Haru looked amiably sad. It is true that Onoye was on the pay roll of the household servants, but then, did not her mother do work for two when Onoye was not actively engaged?
"Twenty-two," answered Mrs. Killigrew relentlessly. "Well, I was going to say that I've learned more about the Killigrew family in these four months of travel than in all those years together." "Something more than ornaments," suggested Kitty dryly. "Yes, indeed," replied her father amiably. If Webb doesn't pan out, why, we can discharge him.
O'Malligan paused, she was obliged to, for breath, whereupon Miss Bonkowski very amiably hastened to declare she meant no harm, having absolutely no knowledge of the class whatever, "except," with arch humor, "as presented on the stage, where, as everybody who had seen them there knew, they were harmless enough, goodness knows!"
Socialistic nonsense!" snapped Mr. Curtis Fleming. "Trusts may be unprincipled, but they don't commit individual crimes." "Don't they?" returned Average Jones, smiling amiably at his own boot-tip. "Did you ever hear of Mr. Adel Meyer's little corset steel which he invented to stick in the customs scales and rob the government for the profit of his Syrup Trust?
I believe there's a bottle of Burgundy left. If not, plenty of Bass." He stretched forth a languid hand, smiling amiably. Narramore was the image of luxurious indolence; he had pleasant features, dark hair inclined to curliness, a well-built frame set off by good tailoring.
Lady Sunderlin and Miss Catherine Malone did the joint honours of their house most amiably, and gave as fine a collation of grapes, nectarines, and peaches as France could supply. Another morning we took a tour of the tenants. Hugh Kelly's house and parlour and gates and garden, and all that should accompany a farm-house, as nice as any England could afford.
"It has fallen to my lot," Inspector Jacks said, "to take charge of the investigations following upon the murder of a man named Hamilton Fynes, who was killed on his way from Liverpool to London about a fortnight ago." The Prince inclined his head. "I believe," he said amiably, "that I remember hearing the matter spoken of.
