What a very unbecoming expression, Jane." "Sorry, madam," said Jane and she and Flora sniggered uncontrollably. "You girls perplex me greatly," said Mrs. Barraclough. "You do not laugh in the least like ordinary servants." "How do ordinary servants laugh?" Jane asked. "Generally speaking, in a high note that echoes distressingly throughout the house, whereas you laugh like young ladies."
Having pressed his cheeks until the wax warmed and adhered, Anthony Barraclough threw a leg over the tailboard and alighted on the pavement. Scarcely a soul bothered to glance his way. At a smart walk he made for the tube station, bought a ticket at the twopenny machine and entered the lift. In the passages below he made a circular tour, entered an ascending lift and reappeared in the street.
By jing! put her alongside a man after her own heart some decent fellow with the pluck to stand up against that wayward strain and there might be a good deal of happiness knocking around for the pair of them. I suppose that ass Barraclough turned her down. Pretty hard to please. Wonder if he got away all right. Ripping scent she used. Coty, I believe, something Jacque Minot."
On landing in the street he wasted no time and nipped very neatly into the open back of the pantechnicon. Here he concealed himself until a stream of a dozen taxis had passed by, and in the pleasant straw smelling shadows Anthony Barraclough grew a beard in precisely half a minute by the clock, and a moustache in even less time.
Hipps was laying odds that after a course of treatment Anthony Barraclough would not only give away the secret but would breathe his first sweetheart's pet name. Van Diest was more concerned with details for the notation of the future radium company. They appeared to regard the intrusion of Mr. Smith as a nuisance.
To Auriole he looked almost godlike as he stood with clenched fists and every fibre quivering. It was in that instant of admiration and amazement she recognised him as another man and the cry burst from her lips: "You're not Anthony Barraclough!" Richard wavered visibly and for the first time she saw real fear in his eye. "What are you saying? You're mad," he answered.
Apparently it was unusually heavy for Barraclough had noticed with what a resonant whack it hit the carriage cushions when thrown in through the window and also that it was only lifted to its present position with an effort. If that suitcase could be persuaded to fall on its owner's head it was reasonable to suppose the result would be anesthetic. And in Barraclough's hand was a crooked stick.
"But consider how we shall be requited when Barraclough turns up with the concession." "If he turns up." "We shall know at eleven o'clock tonight." "That's purely hypothetical." "My dear Cassis, the world is made up of hypotheses dreams that sometimes come true. What are you doing with your holdings in Estuary?" "I'm selling." The old man's eyes blazed. "On the contrary, my friend.
That Barraclough and his friend did well was sufficiently proved by the former taking a trip to Europe, while his friend bought a station and set up as a squatter.
I walked Dr. Warbottom's horse up and down a deal of times while he were inside, where they wouldn't let me go, though I fair ached to see her. "'She'll be better i' noo, lad better i' noo, he used to say. 'Tha mun ha' patience. Then they said if I was quiet I might go in, and th' Reverend Amos Barraclough used to read to her lyin' propped up among th' pillows.
