There, now you see the difference," and a great crooked, angling pillar of smoke rolled upward as soon as the grass and punk began to sizzle in the glow of embers. "I bet ye kin see that ten miles away if ye'r on a high place to look for it." "I bet I could see it twenty miles," chirped in Guy. "Mr. Clark, were you ever lost?" continued the tireless asker. "Why, course I was, an' more than once.
'Firm and a little bit cross. It wouldn't be a nice five minutes for Julius. He sets a deal of store by himself;" and then, as if he thought it was his duty not to show too much gratification, he added, "I hope you were very civil, Charlotte. A good asker should have a good nay-say. And you refused him? Well, I am pleased. Mother never heard tell of it? Eh? What?"
Now this was the woman who had given two scones as an alms to the asker, and whose hands had been cut off therefor; and when the King married her, her fellow-wives envied her and wrote to the common husband that she was an unchaste, having just given birth to the boy; so he wrote to his mother, bidding her carry the woman into the desert and leave her there.
Since, therefore, it is best for a man in distress to delay the evil, and nothing is more fortunate in trouble than to stave off hard necessity, I ask three days' space to get ready, provided that I may obtain from the king the skill of a freshly slain ox." Frode answered: "He who fell on a hide deserves a hide"; thus openly taunting the asker with his previous fall.
"I want you where you can't get away, for I'm going to cast a spell over you." "Going to?" The accent on the first word was stronger than the reply necessitated. "Do many people ask favors of an editor?" "More than enough." "And is the editor often kind and obliging?" "That depends on the favor." "Not a little bit on the asker?" "Naturally, that, too." "Your tone isn't very encouraging."
These islanders were the model 'navvies' of the age before steam: Albuquerque applied for Madeirans when he formed the barbarous project of diverting the Nile to the Red Sea. Their descendants are beggars from the cradle; but they beg with a good grace, and not with a curse or an insult like the European 'asker' when refused: moreover, the mendicant pest is not now over-prevalent.
She was, for herself, to the last point of her guileless fatuity, Amy Evans and an asker for "lifts," a conceiver of twaddle both in herself and in him; or at least, so far as she fell short of all this platitude, it was no fault of the really affecting folly of her attempt to become a mere magazine mortal after the only fashion she had made out, to the intensification of her self-complacency, that she might.
Asker Ali returned to Constantinople, and as is the custom now-a-days, the Porte, imitating the recent policy of the French Government, which Government, whenever it disavows its agents, decorates them as a matter of course, so that to be, or get decorated, is to do something contrary to international law and justice, following such a good and honest maxim, such a discovery in the science of diplomacy, I repeat, the Porte, in its sympathy, immediately conferred on the tyrant a new Pashalic.
These little bits of Turkish duplicity irritate and annoy our Consuls more than acts of tyrants like Asker Ali. Visited the environs in the evening. Picked up some chamomile flowers, which abound in the lanes and highways. The barilla plant is also very common; it is collected and burnt, and the ashes exported in considerable quantities.
When the conversation turned to the subject of romantic marriage this little anecdote was volunteered by H.M. Asker, a North Dakota politician: "So you were married ten years ago. Took place in the church, I suppose, with bridesmaids, flowers, cake, and the brass band?" "No; it was an elopement." "An elopement, eh? Did the girl's father follow you?" "Yes, and he has been with us ever since."
