She was to come in for coffee after dinner, so that Althea adjourned introductions. Aunt Julia looked sharply and appraisingly at the black figure, and the girls did not look at all. They were filled with young delight and excitement at the prospect of a three weeks' romp in Paris, among dressmakers, tea-parties, and the opera. 'And Herbert Vaughan is here.
"Huh!..." grunted Old Man Peterson, and they resumed their game. Scattergood walked along in silence for a few paces; then he regarded Mr. Spackles appraisingly. "Mr. Spackles," said he, deferentially, "I dunno when I come acrost a man that holds his years like you do. Mind if I ask you jest how old you be?" "Sixty-six year," said Spackles. "Wouldn't never 'a' b'lieved it," marveled Scattergood.
He freed her hands, and Lorraine immediately slapped him in the face and reached for his gun. But Al was too quick for her. He stepped back, picked up Snake's reins and mounted his own horse. He looked back at her appraisingly, saw her glare of hatred and grinned at it, while he touched his horse with the spurs and rode away, leading Snake behind him.
For a minute or so Jean stood looking down upon Jan appraisingly. There was no better judge of a dog from one standpoint in that part of Canada. "By gar!" he muttered between his teeth. "That Sergeant Moore hee's a queer cuss, sure 'nuff, to give away a dog like thees for nothing; and then, by gar, to pay me ten dollar for takin' heem."
He sat down before the dressing-table and forced himself to look steadfastly, appraisingly, at the reflection of his face in the mirror that which had once been a presentable man's countenance. He shuddered and dropped his eyes. This was a trial he seldom ventured upon. He could not bear that vision long. No one could. That was the fearful implication which made him shrink.
Andrea's heart almost ceased to beat. Then, very slowly, Pietro went on appraisingly. "Very good, very good, indeed! And you say he has had some training?" "Oh, yes!" the boy answered, and with glowing face, vastly relieved, "he has carried messages from ever so far, from the Lido, from Chioggia " "Have you kept his record?" Pietro interrupted brusquely.
She looked at Warble appraisingly. "You're a tuppenny, ha'penny chit, with eyes like two holes burnt in a blanket, and a nose Mr. Micawber might have waited for, but you'll do. You get everything you want, without effort, and that's a rare trait. What do you think of me?" Warble made a face at her. "Corking!" screamed Aunt Dressie, "you come straight from heaven and you've slid into my soul.
The question and accent brought the man for the first time to a realization of the girls' youth and sex. He shifted to paternal reassurance. "Oh yes, oh yes," he said, looking up the valley appraisingly at the great volume of the smoke, "with a hundred and fifty men there, almost at once, they'll have it under control before long.
Worthington thought, although he could not imagine what it might be. As Isaac Worthington sat there, thinking, it grew clear, to him at last that there was but one exit out of a very desperate situation. He glanced at Cynthia again, this time appraisingly. She had dried her eyes, but she made no effort to speak. After all, she would make such a wife for his son as few men possessed.
She eyed him appraisingly. "Your appeal is in your virility, I suppose. Yes." "My what?" She rose. "I've got to go." Panic seized him. "Say, don't drive back to-night, huh? Wherever it is you've got to go. You ain't driving back to-night?" She made no answer; parted the bushes, was out on the gravel path in the sunlight, a slim, short-skirted, almost childish figure.
