Sir Redmond rubbed his own chin, which was so far from dimpling that is was rounded like half an apricot. "Dear me! And you sat opposite to him at dinner yesterday, too!
"All right, Miss Polly, ten; I can tick one off on each finger: white sugar, coffee, rice, marmalade, strawberry jam, apricot jam, mustard, pickles is they mixed or plain, Miss Polly? raisins, currants. There, Miss, I has them all as pat as possible." "Well, stop a minute," said Polly. "I'm going to unlock my box now. Hold it for me, Maggie, while I open it.
But my conscience has been very sore, and feels better now than it has done for a long time." "You have not got absolution yet," said Forsyth. "Not by long chalks," cried Kavanagh. "Jam!

On the Saturday, Bagwax went down to Apricot Lodge, having been invited to stay with his beloved till the Monday. In the smiles of his beloved he did find much consolation, especially as it had already been assured to him that sixty pounds a-year would be settled on Jemima on and from her wedding-day. And then they made very much of him. 'You do love me, Tom; don't you? said Jemima.
With her breakfast tray had come his second note telling her of this intention, so she had two hours of anticipation a great thing in the life of a convalescent. With every bronze lock in shining order, with the little wrap of apricot pink silk and lace about her shoulders, with an extra pillow at her back, Miss Anne Linton awaited the coming of the "Court Musician," as King had called him.
TAIL Put on high up, and reaching to the hocks, or a little below them, wide at its root and tapering to the end, hanging straight in repose, but forming a curve, with the end pointing upwards, but not over the back, when the dog is excited. COAT COLOUR Coat short and close lying, but not too fine over the shoulders, neck and back. Colour, apricot or silver fawn, or dark fawn-brindle.
From the mess-box he brought bread and apricot pie. From a near-by spring he brought us a bright, new pail full of clear, sparkling water, but Mrs. Louderer insisted upon tea and in a short time he had it ready for us.
