If I were not an old tramp, with a knapsack on my shoulder, I do not know what would happen! I might be the fly in the flame!" Floyd laughs amusedly. There is about as much danger of Freilgrath falling in love with her as there is of himself. Would he have, he wonders, if other events had not crowded in and almost taken the right of choice from him?
Go to-day." Voles raised his shaggy eyebrows. "What's the rush?" he said amusedly. "After eighteen years " "Will you never learn reason? Every hour, every minute, may bring disaster." "Oh, have it your way! I'll fix Carshaw if he camps on my trail a second time." Meiklejohn returned to his car with a care-seamed brow. He was bound now for Mrs. Carshaw's apartment.
We have tasted our independence, enjoyed it, and now we mean to keep it." "Splendid, sir! splendid, father!" cried the delighted Katharine. "There speaks the spirit of Runnymede, and Naseby, too, gentlemen!" "Hush, hush, my child!" chided the colonel, half amusedly; "it is only the spirit of a plain man who has learned to love liberty by studying the history of his ancestry and his people."
I laughed softly, amusedly; then of a sudden, without warning, a faintness took me, and I was forced to brace myself against the wall, breathing heavily the while. At that she gave a little cry of alarm. "Monsieur, I beseech you to be seated. I will summon my father, and we will find a bed for you. You must not retain those clothes." "Angel of goodness!"
"Really!" he said at length, glancing up to give her an approving nod, "really, this isn't bad that is, I mean you have made a good bargain, for all I can see, and given us the opportunity to work up a new line that may prove lucrative. I wouldn't have thought it of a girl a young lady like you." She laughed amusedly. "I'm glad I have been able to please you at last, Mr. Dalton!
He made a grimace at the memory. "I fear you will find some of that sort among our English travelers," said Gilbert Gay amusedly. "Not all of them will appreciate what was that you gave us in Paris? epigrammes of lamb, the cutlets dipped in chicken stock and fried. Swine are still among our chief domestic animals."
The Silent One looked across at him with a tired smile. "Let her go, Pink, and pray for more like her," he called amusedly. "There'll be enough of them dropping back presently." Pink threw one leg over the horn and rode sidewise, made him a cigarette, and tried to forget the cow or, at least, to forgive her for not acting as dog-tired as he felt.
The only insurance I ever had was a quick ear, an' even now, I c'n hear a twig snap near a quarter of a mile away. An' that used to be good insurance in the ol' days when, if yo' weren't gunnin' for somebody, thar was somebody gunnin' fo' you." "But there's no one 'gunning' for you now, is there, Uncle Eli?" asked the boy amusedly.
And I know that he mocked them." "Humph!" Stillman looked at Ashton-Kirk, with surprise upon his face. "That seems odd. Men usually go into Hume's business through love of it." He turned once more to Brolatsky. "And he had no hobby of his own, no collection that he fancied more than another?" Brolatsky nodded amusedly. "Yes," he replied. "I was just coming to that.
"What a true philosopher she is, my sweet Aizif!" she went on amusedly stroking the creature's head, "Her feminine wit teaches her what the dull brains of men can never grasp, . . namely, that pleasures, no matter how sweet, turn to ashes and wormwood when once obtained, and that the only happiness in this world is the charm of DESIRE! There is a subject for thee, Sah-luma! ... write an immortal Ode on the mysteries, the delights, the never-ending ravishment of Desire! ... but carry not thy fancy on to desire's fulfilment, for there thou shalt find infinite bitterness!
