"Will you take my arm, Sir?" said the well-nourished Arthur. "Thank you, thank you," the old man motioned him away. So they went upstairs to where the three women were sitting in the library round the fire, chattering not very interested. The entry of Sir William at once made a stir. The girl in white, with the biggish nose, fluttered round him. She was Arthur's wife.
"I was tryin' ter foller a track in the dew some biggish animal, I guess; but thar wasn't no footmarks not in the long grass an' the track didn't lead to nothin' only a root of dandelion with the leaves chewed off." "Perhaps you went the wrong way," suggested Kiddie. "Was the track lighter than the rest of the grass, or darker?" "Um! Now you puzzle me," demurred Rube.
A short-legged Irish hunter, about three parts bred, with tremendous strength in hocks and quarters, and biggish feet, is the sort the writer would choose. If up to quite two stone more than his rider's weight, and a safe and temperate fencer, he will carry you well up with hounds over any country.
"If you knew anything at all, you'd know there isn't," he said, sullenly. "The old man has just paid some biggish debts for me. That was what the row was about the other night. He warned me that it was the last I'd have from him for some time, and he'll keep his word. Curse him!" Miriam, accustomed as she was to his bad language, shrank. "Percy! Your own father!" she whispered, with a shudder.
Several boys asked me what I would take for her, and one or two begged that I would let them examine her. At last one biggish fellow snatched her off my shoulder. I tried to recover her, but another tripped me up. Getting up, I made chase, but the thief, turning sharp round the corner, disappeared. I shouted in vain for him to come back. My cutter was gone.
With doubt still in his mind, he walked round its margin to the sandy level beyond, and cast about and sought intently, and at last found, and then found clearly, imposed upon the tracks of several sorts of deer and the footprints of many biggish birds, first the great spoor of the tiger and then his own. Here the beast had halted, and here it had leapt aside. Here his own footmarks stopped.
Rais Ali being in the height of enjoyment, declined to answer, but the seaman's active mind was soon furnished with food for contemplation, when one of the attendants entered and quietly began, to all appearance, to put the tall thin Moor to the torture. "Have I to go through that?" thought Flaggan; "well, well, niver say die, owld boy, it's wan comfort that I'm biggish, an' uncommon tough."
Corners and steps there were in plenty, as Kirk had said; it seemed as if the house had been built in several pieces and patched together. Two biggish rooms downstairs, besides the kitchen; a large, built-in, white-doored closet in the living-room, quite jolly, Felicia thought, rusty nails driven in unbelievable quantities in all the walls.
Three or four years more passed by, and I had become a biggish boy, and should, in spite of Jack's efforts, have been soon turned into a Dutchman, when my kind friends determined to return to Europe.
Let's go and look." They went upstairs. On the first floor there was a passage with doors on either side. Psmith opened the first of these. "This'll do us well," he said. It was a biggish room, looking out over the school grounds. There were a couple of deal tables, two empty bookcases, and a looking glass, hung on a nail. "Might have been made for us," said Psmith approvingly.
