In the waist of the vessel, on the port side, he came upon a dais and a baize-covered table with an awning rigged over them; and upon the ship's Schoolmaster, who was busily engaged in arranging the prize-books. "Good afternoon, sir!" The Schoolmaster, affecting to be busy and polite at the same time, picked out a book and held it up to view. "Smiles on Self Help," he announced.
Michael finishes his work. He spends one moment in reflection, and then he speaks: "Now, gentlemen," he begins with a deep sigh, that seems to carry from his heart a load of care "Now, if you please" The paper and the poker are abandoned, chairs are drawn towards the baize-covered table. The partners sit and look at one another, face to face.
"Out of humour, I guess," said the doctor. "I'll talk to you! Take this and amuse yourself awhile, with something that isn't fresh, till I get through, and then you shall go home with me." Fleda carried the large volume into one of the reading rooms, where there was nobody, and sat down at the baize-covered table.
The Sinn Feiners were battering the door of their prison with the butts of their rifles. Molly, the kitchenmaid and Lady Devereux' two other servants were shrieking on the kitchen stairs. Mrs. O'Halloran dealt with the rebels first. She opened the baize-covered door and put her mouth to the keyhole of the other. "Will yous keep quiet or will yous not?" she said.
But he walked to the table with a bold step; there was nothing now of the country lout about him; on the contrary, he moved with remarkable dignity, and bore himself so well that many a pair of feminine eyes watched him kindly, as he took his seat at the baize-covered table. "Will one of you gentlemen teach me the game?" he asked simply.
Kitty nodded, but for a moment she did not reply. Her hand was on the baize-covered desk. All at once, with determination in her eyes, she said: "You didn't use him right or you'd not have been parted for five years. You were rich and he was poor, he is poor now, though he may be rich any day, and he wouldn't stay with you because he wouldn't take your money to live on.
The echoes rang up and down the spiral staircase, and a shadow came sweeping up after me, and another fled before me into the darkness overhead. I came to the wide landing and stopped there for a moment listening to a rustling that I fancied I heard creeping behind me, and then, satisfied of the absolute silence, pushed open the unwilling baize-covered door and stood in the silent corridor.
"Thank you, sir I'm sick, you see all gone, sir! had to send the poor child out, or we'd starve. God bless you, sir! I wish I was well enough to play you a tune," and he looked wistfully towards the corner where stood the old organ, baize-covered, the baize in tatters. One month after that the two men met again as if by agreement, and walked slowly down town.
Within were two or three green baize-covered card-tables and rude wooden chairs. On the placard, roughly stencilled, was the legend, "He who enters here leaves soap behind." Mrs. Truscott's eyes expressed wonderment and mirth commingled. "How utterly absurd! Who did that, Mr. Gleason?" "That? Oh! That's some of Blake's work, I believe! Ah are you not coming in, Miss Sanford?" "Thanks, no, Mr.
No sooner was he brought again into the long, bare room with its baize-covered table, and confronted with the colonel's waxed moustache, than the unchristian spirit would take possession of him once more, suggesting bitter repartees and contemptuous answers.
