She paused and eyed Kennon appraisingly with a look on her pointed face that was the virtual twin of Eloise's. "I think I'll like working for you if you're as nice as you are pretty." "You don't call a man beautiful or pretty!" Kennon exploded. "Why not?" "It just isn't done." "You're a funny human," she said. "I called Old Doc beautiful, and he didn't mind." "That's different. He was an old man."
After all, she was independent of this man, independent even of his name. She looked across the table at him appraisingly. He was still sufficiently good-looking, lithe of frame and muscular, with features well-cut although a little irregular in outline. Time, however, and anxious work were beginning to leave their marks.
Their voyage had been a very brief one; their fate they knew to toil at the oars of the Muslim galleys, or at best, to be taken to Algiers or Tunis and sold there into the slavery of some wealthy Moor. Sakr-el-Bahr's glance scanned them appraisingly, and rested finally on the captain, who stood slightly in advance, his face livid with rage and grief.
Then to stem the tide of her impending protest, he broke his studious silence. "I'm looking for molybdenum," he went on quickly, "and some of these other rare metals that are in demand on account of the war. Ever find any vanadium or manganese around here? No, I guess they're all further north." He returned to his meal and the Widow surveyed him appraisingly with her bold, inquisitive eyes.
"As if one sees anything nowadays but silk-lined clothes!" "By Jove! What do they soak you for a coat like that?" And Milde feels the goods appraisingly. "Oh, I don't remember; I never can remember figures; that is out of my line. I put all my tailor bills away; I come across them whenever I move." "Ha, ha, ha! that is certainly a rational system, most practical.
"Not a uniform exactly, but strictly correct; rather military, but more hunting; perfectly suitable and very comfortable. You'll be quite at home in it. It's the sort for you." The eyes measured Skag's outlines appraisingly, but betrayed nothing. "We have not finished. The matter of clothing is adjacent to another not less important.
I am sorry. I have given you to-day your last chance. You have a pretty little place here, heh?" There was a look in his dark face, as he gazed about appraisingly, that made Captain Charlie go a step toward him. "You have given us our last chance? Is this a sample of the freedom that you offer so eloquently to the people?
The old gentleman was sitting rigidly erect on the extreme edge of his chair; in his hand he held a typewritten statement with a column of figures on it, and he eyed Joey very appraisingly over the rims of his spectacles. "My boy," he said solemnly, "sit down. I'm awfully glad you cabled that hula-hula girl of yours in Reno that the stuff was all off." Joey's mouth flew open.
"But I do not care to feel that I am driving you out into the storm. You might catch cold and die. And I should not want to think that I was responsible for your death." "A little wetting wouldn't hurt me." He looked at her appraisingly, a glint of sympathy in his eyes.
She was of the kind who look at men appraisingly, and expect them to come up, be unduly familiar, and be crushed. She had seven distinct methods of getting men to say indiscreet things, and three variations of reply, of which the favorite was to remark with well-bred calmness: "I'm afraid you have made a slight error, Mr. Uh I didn't quite catch your name?
