Jim fastened a great chunk of suet to a tree-trunk and very soon a red-breasted nuthatch was busy with his Christmas breakfast. Altogether Roger's bang-up Christmas began with terrific bustle, with Annie, from whose kitchen already floated odors that set the insatiable Muggs to sniffing, by far the busiest of them all. The grandfather's clock struck ten.
But Francis Kent could go the paces; in fact, none of the football huskies could put in a night out and bring as snappy an exterior and as clear a wit to first class next morning as young Kent. His heredity, his beefsteaks, the gods, or something, certainly made it possible for him to be a "bang-up rounder" and at the same time an acceptable student through four college years.
Why he was happy to get slapped, he was that pleased to turn the other cheek; and if you took away his cloak, he was the kind of fellar who wanted you to take his panjammers extra. Had no spirit at all, and the Kanakas walked over him scandalous. How Tweedie could have captured such a bang-up stunner was hard to understand then, and harder afterwards.
"Ackvainted? I should say so, sir! A reg'lar bang-up blood, a downright 'eavy toddler oh, I know Sir Jervas, ackvainted is the werry i-denti-cal name for it! So, with your permission, sir, I'll be padding on my vay." "You will find him at his chambers in " "St. James's Street, nigh opposite to Vite's, Mr. Werricker, sir.
"Now you can understand why the boys are excited tonight. They know you'll outfit the camp liberally enough if the yellow streak holds out." "Outfit the camp liberally?" repeated Tom. "I'll go just as far in that line as my partners will stand for." "We want a bang-up Christmas dinner, you see, boss," Tim Walsh explained. "We wouldn't have spoken of it if this streak hadn't panned today.
Look here, Connolly," he turned to the proprietor behind the bar, "a bang-up supper for three. All the season's delicacies and all the courses in order. As you love me, Connolly, do us your prettiest. And soon, awfully soon. A hundred and fifty miles, remember. Now, then, how's my old nurse?" he continued, turning back to Cameron. "She was my nurse, remember, till you came and stole her."
Jarvis?" said I at this juncture, whereupon he turned to peer into my face, then caught and wrung my hand. "Strike me blue!" he exclaimed. "It's the bang-up young gent in the jerry 'at 'as left a home luxoorious to see the world and l'arn to be a man!" "That very same!" said I. "Why, then, Lord love me, here's j'y again!" cried he, grasping my hand with a heartiness there was no mistaking.
"I know it did, and that's what sticks me again." The old man rose from the table and smiled down on him. "Here's a good cigar, brother. I've often worked out many a puzzle while having a bang-up smoke." He invited Harlan by a nod of the head, and they went out and strolled in the maple grove behind the house.
Ahead of him, beyond a rippling stream, lay certain trenches held, he felt sure, by his own side. But could be reach them? Far behind the noise of battle rumbled. Where was Buck? Somehow he had lost sight of his comrade within the last few minutes. "Buck is a good, bang-up fellow. We ought to go back together." But his power was waning. Try as he might, the plane was sagging groundward.
Mavick, I wouldn't have missed it," said my lord, with easy assurance; "I'd have thrown over anything to have come. James and that sort of thing." "You flatter me, my lord," replied the lady of the house, with a winning smile. "No, I do assure you, it's bang-up. Ah, Miss Mavick, delighted, delighted. Most charming. Lucky for me, wasn't it? I'm just in time."
